Created in 2007 under the name SICaPS (Service d’Identification et Caractérisation des Protéines par spectrométrie de masse), the Proteomics-Gif platform offers proteomics methodologies and mass spectrometry technologies to identify, characterize and quantify proteins and some of their modifications from samples of varying complexity.
The platform, which has been awarded the IBiSA label, has solid expertise in the preparation of protein samples of various types, their analysis by mass spectrometry and the analysis of the data. It advises users, optimizes and develops analytical methods in response to the needs of users and biological questions, and offers training to users, either on an ad hoc basis (Training link) or on request.
Two support teams participate in the development of proteomic strategies: the team “Protein Maturation, Protein Cellular Fate and Therapeutics” (I2BC, CNRS UMR 9198, Gif-sur-Yvette) directed by Carmela Giglione and the team “Protein Merepliement and Aggregation in Neurodegenerative Diseases” (LMN, CNRS UMR 9199, CEA, Fontenay-aux-Roses) directed by Ronald Melki .
The platform, open to academic and industrial laboratories, is part of the Ile de France Proteomic Platforms network.
