Congratulations to UVic Genome BC Proteomics Center Graduate Student, Brinda Shah, who has been awarded the Edythe Hembroff-Scheicher scholarship in the amount of $6,100.

A video tour of the UVic Genome BC Proteomics Centre is now available online. The video lasts approximately 15 minutes and is led by our Technical Operations Manager, Derek Smith.

A novel algorithm based on Data Self-Recalibration and a subsequent Mixture Mass Fingerprint search (DASER-MMF) has been developed to improve the performance of protein identification from online 1D and 2D-LC-MS/MS experiments conducted on high-resolution mass spectrometers.

The University of Victoria will submit an application to the Canadian Foundation for Innovation (CFI) for the establishment of a Regional Centre for High-field Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometry (FT-MS) for Environmental and Life Sciences.

The UVic Genome BC Proteomics Centre now offers 8plex iTRAQ® experiments. This new service allows for the simultanious identification and quantitation of peptides in up to 8 samples. For additional information on 8plex iTRAQ®, please see the Applied Biosystems website.
