Indiana Center for Biological Microscopy (ICBM)

The ICBM provides researchers with access to laser-scanning confocal, 2-photon and epi-fluorescence microscopes (http://www.medicine.iupui.edu/ICBM/USING-THE-FACILITY).  Center personnel train individual researchers to use all imaging systems and provide expert help in the design, conduct and analysis of imaging studies.  As necessary, center personnel can also be hired to conduct microscopy studies for laboratories lacking the necessary expertise.

Designated Service Core

Laboratory for Biological Mass Spectrometry (LBMS)

The LBMS uses mass spectrometry to characterize proteins as well as other biologically-derived molecules. It specializes in the characterization of protein post-translational modifications, including glycosylation, phosphorylation, acetylation and persulfidation (S-sulfhydration). We also have an emphasis on identification of protein-interactions (including determination of protein-protein crosslinks) and quantitative comparisons of complex samples.
