State-of-the-art proteomics laboratory

Thermo Fisher Scientific has announced a collaboration with the integrative network biology initiative at The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR). The ICR’s new, state-of-the-art proteomics laboratory is equipped with a complete Thermo Scientific proteomics workflow, including the Kingfisher Flex automated sample preparation system, the TSQ Vantage triple quadrupole and the UK’s first two LTQ Orbitrap Velos mass spectrometers. This workflow provides powerful capabilities to meet the needs of the ICR’s demanding research goals.

“Typically, cancer research focuses on the function and behavior of individual genes or proteins,” explained Dr Rune Linding, head of the cellular and molecular logic team at ICR. “The ICR’s effort aims to assess how networks of cancer cells interact with each other and surrounding tissues to metastasise. Now, ICR researchers hope to achieve breakthroughs leading to new drugs or treatments that prevent metastasis – the process that claims the lives of about 90% of cancer patients.”
