Proteomics Work Group
Mission
The mission of the Core for Life Proteomics Workgroup is to share knowledge and expertise to advance the development and implementation of proteomic workflows in our core facilities, which in turn advances research. We regularly organize meetings where we visit each other’s facilities and discuss different topics (sample preparation, LC-MS methodology, data analysis, quality control, …). We also engage in collaborative inter-core projects, for example in benchmarking methods and establishing proper quality control standards.
Who are we?
The map below shows the current Proteomics Work group members.
What do we do?
Below you can find our running projects, upcoming and past events and highlighted publications.
QCloud
QCloud is a cloud-based system to support proteomics laboratories in daily quality assessment using a user-friendly interface, easy setup, and automated data processing.
QSample
QSample is an automated system to monitor key quality indicators in user samples. Currently under development (implementation funded through a Core for Life Challenge Project).
ProteoBench
ProteoBench: a EuBIC-MS initiative to establish an open and collaborative platform for community-curated benchmarks for proteomics data analysis pipelines. The Core for Life Proteomics workgroup is working closely with the ProteoBench community to improve, develop, use, and share benchmark pipelines of proteomics data analysis tools (funded through a Core for Life Challenge Project).
Events
EuPA Open Lab Day
Join us in Gathertown in our Digital Proteopolis World to meet the people that help run some of Europe’s biggest Proteomics Core Facilities.
