Provides state-of-the-art electron microscopy (EM) and preparatory
facilities for applications ranging from basic high resolution imaging
of immuno-labelled samples through to frozen hydrated cryo-EM
and 3D tomography.
Expert academic and general staff are available to provide support
to external partners; it can assist with initial project discussions and
planning through to training, the application of EM techniques and
provide assistance with data interpretation.

facilities-and-services/proteomics
Offers a comprehensive range of instrumentation and facilities
and focuses on the application of proteomics and analytical mass
spectrometry to the analysis of proteins in biological systems.
Its primary technology is mass spectrometry, and its
instrumentation suite comprises 13 instruments, ranging from
ion traps to more sophisticated Orbitrap and QToF/ion mobility
instruments. It operates almost exclusively in nanoflow mode,
delivering samples at 300nL/minute. Surrounding this
instrumentation is a range of tools for separation science and
analytical protein chemistry.
We operate as a University facility and assist researchers with
design, implementation and analysis of proteomics experiments.

Possesses tissue samples and associated clinical data collected
from patients. This provides a valuable resource for research
groups investigating the mechanisms of disease. The University’s
biobanking activities comply with the requirements of the Medicines
and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and the
Human Tissue Act (England and Wales, 2006). Subject to ethical
approval, biobank samples are made available to external groups.
