News At the interface of proteomics and metabolomics 20/03/2019 Despite their differing research disciplines, the VIB Metabolomics Core and the VIB Proteomics Core often cross each other’s paths. Cutting-edge mass spectrometry (MS) takes credit for this: both facilities depend on this rapidly developing technique to measure masses within a sample and, as such, to identify the different molecules it contains. To gain more insight into how MS furthers scientific discoveries at VIB, we called on three expert technologists, each managing an ‘omics’ core facility: Geert Goeminne (VIB Metabolomics Core, Ghent), Bart Ghesquière (VIB Metabolomics Core, Leuven) and Francis Impens (VIB Proteomics Core, Ghent).
