Hotel Description
The Center for Proteomics and Metabolomics (CPM) is a Technology Focus Area of the Leiden University Medical Center. The CPM aims at developing and implementing cutting-edge proteomics and metabolomics methodology and technology for analyzing disease-associated molecular mechanisms and fingerprints within all research focus areas of the LUMC, to promote innovation within biomedical research and public health.
The CPM houses MS- and NMR-based technology and expertise, distributed over 5 groups: proteomics, glycomics, metabolomics, MS-imaging, and bioinformatics. The CPM has the ambition to continuously push technology and methodology forward while maintaining reliable and efficient support and collaboration with our research partners. We strive to deepen research collaborations with academic groups, including national research centers and platforms, to develop, implement and apply new analytical tools, biological model systems and informatics methods. In addition, we pursue collaborations with industry to apply and adapt the latest state-of-the-art technology in robotic sample preparation, liquid separation methods, mass spectrometry and NMR, within the scope of biopharmaceutical development and biomarker discovery. We train and educate students and scientists within the LUMC, as well as bachelors and masters from outside.

The CPM has a range of high-performance workflows established in proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics, and glycomics analyses to address research questions in biomedicine, biopharma, and nutrition. These lines are complemented by high-end mass spectrometry imaging which allows to analyze the distribution of the different types of biomolecules in tissues. Finally, the CPM has expertise in integrated data analysis and building robust, scalable workflows for data analysis and dissemination based on FAIR principles.
Among our unique infrastructure is a 15 T FTICR solariX XR and a fully automated metabolic profiler with a 600 MHz NMR. This is complemented by the latest Orbitrap instruments for quantiative proteomics and PTM analyses, as well as highly standardized lipidomics platforms that are used in a vast range of clinical research settings. The CPM has a strong background in exploiting a broad range of separation techniques for the different types of biomolecules, including nanoLC and capillary electrophoresis.

We have significant experience (first publications 2008) in integrating gene and protein expression data in model systems. We have also compared genomics (NGS) and metabolomics, as well as proteomics data. Using mass spectrometry imaging, we are integrating multiple modalities (immunohistochemistry, MALDI-TOF, MALDI-FTICR etc.) using advanced bioinformatics and image analysis software largely developed in-house (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25201776, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24661141).
