Biomarkers Research Initiatives in Mass Spectrometry (BRIMS) Center

The BRIMS Center facilitates translational research by providing applications assistance in biomarker discovery and verification. Learn how it is advancing mass spectrometry (MS)-based workflows to bridge the gap between early-stage discovery and next-stage, routine verification and validation of biomarkers.


Translational research subtopics

Proteomics Research

Translational proteomics most frequently involves the discovery of potential clinically relevant protein biomarkers and moving as quickly as possible from positive identification to verification and validation of the protein(s) as markers.

Metabolomics and Lipidomics Research

Metabolites and lipids offer an additional avenue of investigation for scientists pursuing translational research. These small molecules provide relatively direct insight into a cell, tissue, organ, or organism through their response to changes in its physiological or pathological state.
