The Molecular Discovery Platform

The CeMM Molecular Discovery Platform uses a technology-driven approach to empower the discovery and characterization of such bioactive molecules, including proteins, metabolites, and novel synthetic compounds. These three classes of molecules are also the focus of the three modules that constitute the CeMM Molecular Discovery Platform - Proteomics , Metabolomics , and Chemical Screening . Using the latest technologies and state-of-the art instrumentation, we maximize coverage to biomolecules and enable data generation from minimal biological sample amounts. The platform, with its three sub-facilities, provides services to all groups at CeMM as well as to external customers and thereby intends to contribute initial starting points towards discovering the therapies of the future.

The Proteomics Facility provides services on “state-of-the-art” Mass spectrometry-based proteomics applications to support scientific research groups in basic and translational research. The special design of the MS lab guarantees our customers the highest standards for “high resolution accurate mass” (HRAM) LC-MS instrumentation of the Q Exactive and Fusion Lumos Orbitrap series with staff maintaining and operating the systems at a constant high level.

The Metabolomics Facility at CeMM aims to provide highest quality metabolomics analyses on biological and biomedical research samples to its customers. This includes method development for detection and quantification of novel metabolites, systematic screening of established metabolites in the classes of amino acids, central carbon metabolism and TCA cycle metabolites, nucleotides, folates and lipids, and more focused analyses of selected metabolites. We aim to constantly develop and improve methods to more comprehensively cover the entire human metabolome and decrease the required sample amounts, while at the same time maintaining rigorous standards in data analysis and quantitation.
