Company Overview
The mission of the VU Mass Spectrometry Research Center (MSRC) is to develop integrated technologies for imaging and molecular analysis that enables the construction of comprehensive molecular atlases of biological systems. The technologies that we are bringing together in the MSRC have been specifically selected to encompass a range of analytical capabilities including imaging mass spectrometry, spatially targeted LC-proteomics, fluorescence microscopy, transcriptomics, and others. The major theme of our development projects is the integration of high spatial resolution and high-content imaging modalities with comprehensive multi-omics data sets mapped across biological tissues. The value of this approach cannot be overstated because the data generated are comprehensive but easily related to current paradigms of tissue biology. This workflows, once fully developed will greatly aid and accelerate the generation and testing of new hypothesis-driven research.
