Our Capabilities

The High-Field NMR Facility has particular strengths in:

  • Structural Biology
  • Screening of small molecule libraries
  • Metabolomics and biomarker identification

Structural Biology

The structural biology focus of the facility is on mitochondrial proteins involved in ageing and pancreatic diseases, the extracellular matrix, focal adhesion proteins, synaptosome complexes involved in pain and other neurological disorders, and amyloidogenic proteins and peptides. There is a strong commitment in these projects to combine the structural studies with biological, chemical and computational approaches to elucidate molecular mechanisms and where appropriate, develop small molecule inhibitors. The metabolite identification projects are driven by colleagues from the University with interests in areas such as personalised medicine, parasite metabolism and tropical diseases, drug safety science, animal diseases and animal feed development.

Metabolomics

The metabolomics focus of the facility is on the clinical and veterinary needs of our collaborators and to provide metabolomics expertise to our users.
