Overview

The mandate of the CCIC Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics Facility is to provide state-of-the-art instrumentation to The Ohio State University and the surrounding research community. The nature of our laboratory allows for both routine analyses for faculty who can not afford nor desire the purchase of their own mass spectrometry instrumentation and yet our Facility also provides researchers the opportunity and access to very sophisticated experiments by working closely in a true collaborative effort between faculty, students and staff.

The Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics Facility at CCIC clearly is an interdisciplinary unit, servicing faculty from the colleges of Agriculture, Biological Sciences, The Byrd Polar Research Center, Dentistry, Engineering, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Medicine, Pharmacy, and Veterinary Medicine. CCIC also serves scientists from other universities and industry within and outside of Ohio, including SUNY, North Dakota State University, University of Arkansas, Crompton Corporation, University of Georgia, Montana State, Duke, Oklahoma, and UOP. The majority of the users are performing research supported by NIH.

The laboratory is equipped to offer a broad range of services with five state of the art mass spectrometers. We recently have expanded our services to include Proteomic Analyses. The Associate Director for Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics Facility is Dr Kari Green-Church specializing in biological application mass spectrometry. She also manages and coordinates special projects for the facility. Four support staff mass spectrometrists provide quality service to meet the research needs of our users.
