The Center for Metabolomics and Proteomics (CMSP) facility provides support to the life sciences research community at the University of Minnesota. As a subunit of the Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Biophysics (BMBB), the CMSP provides expertise, equipment, training, and support for analyzing all types of biological molecules - with a focus on proteomic and metabolomic applications. With years of experience serving the entire biological science area of the University, the CMSP staff has a wide range of expertise in analytical methods used to characterize a broad range of molecule types. In addition to large-scale discovery studies, CMSP offers targeted mass spectrometry-based methods to characterize proteins, metabolites or other biological molecules of interest.
