PPM-FPP plateform
Functional Proteomics Platform



The Proteome Pole of Montpellier (PPM) is one of the life science core facilities of the service unit BioCampus Montpellier. The PPM federates 4 sites of expertise in proteomic analysis, including the Functional Proteomics facility (FPP) located at the Institute of Functional Genomics.
The PPM is one of the 6 nodes of the ProFi national proteomics infrastructure. It has held the IBiSA label since 2009 and ISO 9001:2015 certification since 2015.
• High-resolution mass spectrometry for protein identification and quantification, differential analysis (with or without labeling) and protein partner discovery.
• Structural proteomics for the study of protein-protein and protein-ligand interactions, as well as their structural dynamics under native conditions.
Expertise and services
• Preparation of biological samples (purification, separation, enrichment and prefractionation) for mass spectrometry analysis,
• Targeted and large-scale quantitative proteomics,
• Structural analysis by mass spectrometry,
• Study of post-translational modifications,
• Mass spectrometry-based interactomics studies,
• Mass spectrometry-based biomarker discovery and validation,
• Bioinformatics and statistical analysis of the data produced.
Contact
For all requests for services or scientific collaboration, please contact the core facility with a brief description of your requirements.
A meeting with platform staff will be proposed as soon as possible to discuss the feasibility of your project, the strategies and techniques to be used, and the nature of the services the platform can offer you.
During this discussion, the financing and the type of project (service or collaboration) will also be defined according to the terms of the PPM charter. The time required to complete projects varies according to the type of service requested.
