The
Maiman Institute for Proteome Research at Tel-Aviv
University
is designed for the functional analysis of genomes. Its activities are aimed
at broadening our understanding of gene expression and protein function
in health and disease. The proteomics study approach is based on
analysis of the proteins expressed at a given time by the genome –
the proteome. Proteomics is usually based on two-dimensional
electrophoresis (2D) to resolve complex protein mixtures followed by mass
spectrometry to identify proteins of interest.
The
Maiman Institute for Proteome Research at Tel-Aviv
University
includes two service-laboratories for Mass
Spectrometry and Electrophoresis,
headed by Dr. Ayelet Sacher.
The services support research involving mass analysis of proteins, organic
compounds, and metabolites. The lab also provides 1D and 2D gel services
for preparation and analysis of samples.
The Maiman Institute for
Proteome Research, including the laboratories functions for the benefit
of all the faculties at Tel-Aviv
University.
