SEATTLE PROTEOMIC CENTER (SPC) P.I. Ruedi Aebersold
|
The overall goal of the Seattle Proteome Center is the development
of an array of new, systematic assays to comprehensively study the
dynamics of cells in health and disease. To achieve this goal, the
Center has brought together researchers with a broad range of expertise
from the University of Washington, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research
Center and the Institute of Systems Biology, and has set the following
specific aims:
First, the Center aims to develop an integrated technology platform
to quantitatively and systematically determine different properties
of proteins. These include the sequence identity of the proteins
expressed in cells and tissues, modifications to the proteins that
may alter their activities and the assembly of proteins into the
multi-component molecular machines which control and carry out most
biological functions. This goal will be achieved by a number of
technology modules that are being concurrently developed and that,
once integrated, collectively constitute a powerful analytical platform.
To assure that the technology development efforts will be continually
challenged, the Center will support 2-3 pilot projects annually,
in which novel technical concepts or biological principles will
be explored.
Second, the Center aims to apply the newly developed technologies
to a broad range of biological research projects and to widely disseminate
them. This will be achieved by the establishment of a proteomics
high throughput facility at the ISB that will provide the interface
between technology development and biological projects.
Third, the Center will apply advanced quantitative proteomics technologies
to advance research into heart, blood and lung in health and disease.
This will be achieved by the formation of three biology working
groups consisting of collaborative research groups. The themes of
the three working groups are, respectively, A: macrophage biology;
B: cardiovascular and blood cell development, and C: blood vessel
and cardiovascular signaling.
Fourth, the Center will develop project areas. Continual interplay
between biologists that comprise the Biology Working Groups in each
of these project areas and the Technology Working Group will allow
testing and refinement of the new technology and will provide constant
input for new proteomic technologies to address emerging biological
problems.
Validated technologies with generic applicability will be broadly
disseminated.
