Proteomics (PCF)

The Proteomics Core Facility (PCF) provides expertise and advanced instrumentation for proteome studies in medicine and life science. Our platform offers research support to scientists at the University of Gothenburg and to external users from academia and industry. PCF is involved in around 300 projects annually, mainly global proteomic analyses that identify and quantify thousands of proteins in an unbiased manner.

Plasma proteomics

The Proteomics Core Facility (PCF) has implemented Biognosys' P2 Enrichment technology, enabling quantification of up to 7,000 plasma proteins—a major leap from previous capabilities. Integrated with automated sample preparation workflows, and TimsTOF HT and Orbitrap Astral MS instruments, the platform delivers high-throughput, reproducible and clinically relevant data for biomarker discovery, disease understanding, and precision medicine.

BioMS

Since 2016 we are one of the nodes of the Swedish National Infrastructure for Biological Mass Spectrometry, BioMS, supported by the Swedish Research Council. For projects within Clinical Proteomics and Large Scale Quantitative Proteomics contact our project coordinator Annika Thorsell. Moreover, Ekaterina Mirgorodskaya is coordinating projects within Glycoproteomics and Glycomics. Please read more on the BioMS webpage.

Swedish Research Council

The Swedish Research Council is Sweden’s largest governmental research funding body and supports research of the highest quality in all scientific fields. 

SciLifeLab

In 2021, we joined the Science for Life Laboratory, a national research infrastructure funded by the Swedish government. Within the Proteomics units, we are supporting glycoproteomics and MS proteomics projects. Please find more information on the SciLifeLab homepage.
