Mission:  To provide comprehensive mass spectrometry support in an open learning environment.

  • 100% Analysis by MSREC
    • MSREC prepares the samples, runs the samples, performs bioinformatics & statistics, etc
  • Co-Project Analysis
    • Student or post-doc has some level of involvement.
    • Flexible on the student contribution
  • 100% Student run
    • After training the student or post-doc acquires all their data independently and process their own data.
    • Of course we are here to help as needed!
