The Center for Advanced Proteomics Research (CAPR) is located at Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences-New Jersey Medical School in Newark, NJ. We are equipped with state-of-the-art proteomics instruments and bioinformatics systems, including a Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Fusion Lumos Tribrid mass spectrometer coupled with a Dionex UltiMate 3000 RSLCnano system. With this advanced instrument, our team of experienced and responsive scientists have contributed to the success of researchers at Rutgers, in the NY area and from the world. We welcome new customers, collaborators and joint grant applications.
We offer comprehensive services for protein analysis at both cell and tissue levels in the context of disease development and regulation, featuring the most advanced proteomics technologies currently available, including
2) Identification of post-translational modifications (PTMs), e.g. phosphorylation, nitrosylation, acetylation, methylation and disulfide bonds, etc.;
3) Global quantitation of proteins, e.g. Protein-protein interaction using label free quantitation, Differential protein expression using iTRAQ or TMT labeling, Global PTM quantitation using SILAC, iodo-TMT.
We have continuously focused on developing novel proteomics methods to study redox-signaling modifications, including s-nitrosylation, s-sulfonation, and disulfides. In addition, we have developed and optimized state-of-the-art proteomics approaches for global protein expression, protein PTMs and protein-protein interaction studies. Many of these are collaborative studies enabled the discovery of novel mechanistic insights in models of human diseases.
Please contact Dr. Hong Li to discuss your potential proteomics projects.
