Mission and Goals

Mission

The overall mission of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Human Proteomics Program is to develop cutting-edge technologies in proteomics and metabolomics for basic/translational/clinical research to improve the health of the citizens of Wisconsin, the nation, and the world through a program of research collaboration and education.

Goals

  • Provide advanced proteomic and metabolomic capabilities featuring state-of-the-art, ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry, top-down proteomics, native mass spectrometry, and multi-omics.
  • Provide new opportunities to catalyze basic, translational, and clinical research collaborations for understanding the basis of human health and diseases, discovering novel biomarkers for diagnosis, and identifying new molecular targets for treatment of human diseases.
  • Establish educational programs to inform investigators and the public about proteomics and metabolomics, and its potential use for biomedical research and public health. Provide hands-on training to users in proteomics and metabolomics.
