Medical Proteome Center

Under the direction of Prof. Dr. Katrin Marcus-Alic, the Medical Proteome Center is one of the world's leading institutes. Its research interest covers all medical areas as well as natural scientific fundamentals. The methods used, include gel- and chromatography-based separation techniques with subsequent mass spectrometry, protein biochips and innovative bioinformatics.

Core Unit Bioinformatics to be expanded

In addition to proteomics, genomics and transcriptomics are moving centre stage. A new computing cluster is also going into operation.

New Core Facility for Bioinformatics

The proteomics team provides service from the design of an experiment to the publication of results.

Differentiating body fluids with protein analysis

Whether a slimy stain at a crime scene is nasal mucus or semen can make a difference to investigations. But telling bodily fluids apart isn’t easy.

News

The RUB, the MPC and ProDi, together with the Pediatric Endocrinology, St. Josefs Hospital and Phosphatdiabetes e.V., are participating in the campaign "Light up for rare"
(https://www.rarediseaseday.org/downloads/lightupforrare/).
The occasion is the international "Rare Disease Day" on which hundreds of monuments, landmarks and buildings of all kinds light up every year to commemorate people with rare diseases and their relatives.
