We are interested in developing and applying new technologies in the fields of mass spectrometry and proteomics.
At the heart of all aspects of our lab is protein sequencing by mass spectrometry. Simplified greatly, a tandem mass spectrometer can "sequence" a peptide ion by first measuring the mass of the peptide and then selectively isolating and gently fragmenting that peptide at peptide bonds followed by mass measurement of the fragment ions.
The Gygi lab is constantly driving to improve acquisition efficiency and methodological robustness to ensure that we generate the highest-quality data possible.
We have a number of very exciting projects including quantitative proteomic analysis of the CCLE, the BioPlex Interactome, intelligent data acquisition strategies, and many more...
