The Proteomic Mass Spectrometry team left the Sanger Institute in 2017. This page is being maintained as a historical record of the work of the group and is no longer being updated.
The Proteomic mass spectrometry team complemented the research programmes of the Sanger Institute to further understanding of the relationship between the genome and the proteome (entire set of expressed proteins). Through its research and collaborations the group explored protein-protein interactions, cell signalling and protein expression in a range of human, pathogen and model organisms.
Our research portfolio encompassed all levels of proteome complexity: from whole organism characterisation to subcellular organelles, from protein complexes to post-translation modifications.
- Proteome Characterisation and Quantification
- Proteogenomics
- Post-Translational Modifications
- Protein Interactions
Technology and Instrumentation
We had a long-standing expertise in sample preparation, peptide and protein separation and purification technologies, mass spectrometry and proteomics data analysis. Our well-equipped laboratory featured a range of state-of-the-art high-resolution mass spectrometers that we combined with innovative tools and software to precisely identify and quantify proteins and their modifications in the proteome.
