Our Mission
The
mandate of the University of Victoria Genome British Columbia
Proteomics Centre is to provide exceptional service and support
for proteomics research in the areas of protein identification
and characterization, and quantitative proteomics for biomarker
discovery and validation. Our research interests are focused
on novel technology development in structural proteomics,
metabolomics, clinical proteomics, and protein imaging with
the ultimate goal of applying our technologies to customer
research projects.

European Commission Awards International
Research Network in Leishdrug Project
February 22nd, 2008
The Leishdrug consortium has received top
scores on its application to the European Commission for funding
of its proposal to develop a treatment for leishmaniasis,
a potentially fatal tropical disease. The consortium is comprised
of a network of research organizations from Europe, Asia,
Africa, and South America that will utilize the UVic Genome
BC Proteomics Centre for mass spectrometry analysis.
PROOF Centre of Excellence Established
February 20th, 2008
The Canadian Federal Government has established
11 Centres of Excellence for Commercialization and Research
(CECR) across the country. The Providence Heart and Lung Institute
at St. Paul’s Hospital, with the University of British
Columbia, was one of four BC CECR recipients and will receive
$15 million over five years to create a Centre of Excellence
in Prevention of Epidemic Organ Failure (PROOF). Proteomic
sample analysis for the Providence Heart and Lung Institute,
including iTRAQ and Multiple Reaction Monitoring, will be
performed at the UVic Genome BC Proteomic Centre.
