Center for Computational Mass Spectrometry

Technology Research and Development Areas

Like other P41 Centers, CCMS is developing innovative core technologies through its Technology Research and Development (TRD), which support specific (Driving) Biological Projects (DBPs). However, it is unique in some respects. First, we focus on algorithmic rather than experimental research. Second, the core technologies being developed at CCMS are in support of new MS technologies rather than directly driving biomedical applications. Therefore, we are often challenged with creating 3-way collaborations with top MS technology experts as well as leading biomedical scientists. Our success in building and maintaining these collaborations are indicative of the impact of our core research. See below.
