Description

High-Precision Mass Spectrometry Imaging Facility. This proposal aims to build an advanced chemical mapping facility through the acquisition of high-resolution ion mobility mass spectrometry instrumentation capable of 2D/3D spatial analysis using laser desorption/ionisation, from centimetre (whole tissues) to micrometer (sub-cellular) scale. This facility will create a concentration of world leading expertise in spatial chemical phenotyping from diverse fields including nanofabrication, chemical engineering, systems-biology, drug discovery, environmental ecology, agricultural biosciences and diagnostic sciences. The facility will enable translational research by applying breakthroughs in chemical synthesis, nanofabrication, bioconjugation, proteomics and metabolomics to spatial systems.. Scheme: Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities. Field: 3401 - Analytical Chemistry. Lead: Prof Nicolas Voelcker
