Proteomics is an emerging area of research that allows global analysis of gene expression in a single tissue or organ.
Proteomics seeks to provide functional information for all the proteins.
Several technologies must be used in a coordinated manner in order to analyze proteins in cells, tissues or organs. The Proteomics Center is a Veterinary Faculty of University of Zurich multi-department and affiliated research Institutes academic program. The goals of this program are to bring together researchers in biochemistry, genetics, molecular and cell biology, physiology, pharmacology, virology, bacteriology, pathophysiology and all clinical disciplines of veterinary medicine to establish an interactive platform for education of our students, both undergraduate and graduate, in the sciences occurring at the nexus of these disciplines. In addition, our goal is to facilitate the use of exciting new research capabilities for the entire biomedical community here at the University of Zurich. We are now forming a multifunctional resource center that will allow investigators of the community to take maximal advantage of the powerful advances that have been made in DNA GeneChip and Mass Spectroscopy technology, protein-protein interactions and the exploding genomic databases now available through the pioneering efforts of so many in the research community.
