Proteomics<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Spinoza prize winner Prof. Albert Heck will lead the X-omics Initiative in its continued development of ground-breaking technologies for proteomics research. Proteomics is the large-scale study of all proteins and their biological function in different cells. \u201cBut it is just as important that we integrate all of the different \u2018omics\u2019 \u2013 proteomics, genomics, metabolomics \u2013 together as well. That is where opportunities await to gain new insights that can lead to new applications in medicine\u201d, according to Heck. The X-omics Initiative builds upon the expertise and experience gained under Heck\u2019s leadership in the Netherlands Proteomics Center, and the follow-up programme Proteins@Work, which is also funded by the NWO Roadmap.

Genomics <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At UMC Utrecht, Prof. Edwin Cuppen and Dr. Wigard Kloosterman are involved in the genomics\/next generation sequencing aspects of the project, Prof. Boudewijn Burgering is involved in proteomics and mass spectrometry, and Dr. Jeroen de Ridder works on data integration and data mining.<\/p>\n

Their work is conducted at the facility for reading DNA (the Utrecht Sequencing Facility, USEQ) and that for analysing digital data produced by DNA research (the UMC Utrecht Bioinformatics Expertise Core, UBEC). \u201cThese facilities utilise the latest technologies\u201d, explains Professor of Human Genetics Edwin Cuppen. \u201cThey can therefore play an important role in identifying and studying the function of the genome in normal and diseased cells and individuals.\u201d <\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

The lead applicant is Prof. Alain van Gool from Radboud University Nijmegen.<\/p>\n


<\/p>\n

The National Large-Scale Research Facilities roadmap programme stimulates the construction or renovation of research facilities with an international reputation.
