Proteomics Center of Economic Excellence

Inception:
2003

About the CoEE:

The Proteomics CoEE pursues research in technologies that study and gather information encoded in the genomes of proteins. Because of technology limitations, only limited protein information can currently be accessed and analyzed. However, the field of proteomics research is expected to lead to an understanding of cellular function at the molecular level, particularly how cellular functions go awry in disease. Thus, this CoEE is designed to yield patentable new technology and will provide visibility in the field of bioengineering, which will attract industry.

To date, the CoEE has received more than $5 million in federal research grants. This includes NIH funding for one of only ten National Heart Lung and Blood Institute Proteomics Centers in the country. Development of microfluidic devices for proteomic analysis by this CoEE has led to a new collaboration with The Citadel. [This collaboration will receive a portion of the $20 million statewide NIH EPSCOR grant for tissue biofabrication; awarded in July 2009.] Also, a new technology development in mass spectrometry for proteomic analysis in the form of a new dual mode ion source has led to an additional NIH grant. This CoEE continues its partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy Molecular Foundry at the
Lawrence Berkeley National laboratory to develop a new type of microfluidic valve based upon a nanostructured polymer for use in proteomic analysis devices.

Funding level:
$4 million
