Happy New Year from CPR!
Welcome to the Centre for Proteome Research at The University of Liverpool. We are a well equipped lab, led by three academics, addressing a range of challenges in protein mass spectrometry and proteomics as applied to biology and biomedical sciences. The CPR also acts in part as a Shared Research Facility within the University’s Technology Directorate.
Lost of new grant successes this year. New grants from BBSRC (sulphation) and ??() to Claire, and BBSRC (QconCATs) and Leverhulme Trust (maternal investment) to Rob!
We know this is going to be contentious, but have posters become too overwhelming? We're rolling out our interpretation at BMSS this coming week.

Posters presented by Chris, Amy, Rosie, Natalie, Iris, Jos went down very well at BMSS40 at the RNCM in Manchester. Lots of discussion about alternative poster design and delivery.
We've shown how REIMS can be used to analyse animal faeces and gain a great deal of information. Lovely work by Nicola, Natalie and Jos with with MBE [paper here]
First author Lupe (now back in Cordoba). This paper describes the remarkable differences between the gene products of MUPs in rats and mice - notably, the plethora of post-transitional modifications, including phosphorylation. [here]
Other news
We are working hard to support open access and open data initiatives, and deposit raw data in [PRIDE]. You can find our submitted datasets elsewhere on the ProteomeExchange site [HERE]. If you want to see why making data available is important, look [here] and [here], in that order.
There may be postdoc and PhD student opportunities with Claire and Ed. Please make direct contact with them for general enquiries.
At the end of each year we produce a poster that captures our research outputs for the year, and also collates all of our main events, outreach, STEM activities etc. If you’d like to see these posters, then look for [EVENTS 2018] and [PUBS 2018] (PDF files). You can find our papers here (main menu, Papers) and pick up news information here.
We’ve prepared a full sized poster that covers the work we published: [2014] [2015] [2016] [2017][2018]. We also publish an annual summary of great events. [EVENTS 2015] [EVENTS 2016] [EVENTS 2017][EVENTS 2018]. The 2019 posters will appear here at the end of the year.
Web resources for proteomics
Pastel Biosciences have compiled an impressive set of web resources for proteomics. [HERE]
