Modern applications of proteomics techniques followed by bioinformatics analyses put the Center for Proteomics and Bioinformatics at the forefront of translational research in the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine.
Structural Biology and Biophysics Training Program (SBB_TP)
The Structural Biology and Biophysics Training Program emphasizes quantitative methods and equips students to study cell and protein structure and function using state-of-the-art instrumentation and computing. The Department hosts outstanding research programs in the areas of structural biology and cellular ion channels and transporters.
Qualified students receive full tuition waiver, a stipend, and health benefits during the full duration of their studies.
Students can enter this training program by admission to the Interdepartmental Structural Biology and Biophysics Training Program (http://sbb-tp.case.edu).
Summer 2012 Undergraduate Research Opportunities!
The Proteomics Research in Systems Medicine (PRISM) Program is looking for
undergraduate students to work on 4 different research projects.
These projects include:
Beamline X3B: Characterization of metalloproteins by high-throughput X-ray absorption spectroscopy
High-throughput X-ray absorption spectroscopy was used to measure transition metal content based on quantitative detection of X-ray fluorescence signals for 3879 purified proteins from several hundred different protein families generated by the New York SGX Research Center for Structural Genomics.

Systems biology analyses of gene expression and genome wide association study data in obstructive sleep apnea
The precise molecular etiology of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is unknown; however recent research indicates that several interconnected aberrant pathways and molecular abnormalities are contributors to OSA. Identifying the genes and pathways associated with OSA can help to expand our understanding of the risk factors for the disease as well as provide new avenues for potential treatment.
