GIGA Technology platform - Proteomics
GIGA-Proteomics works on the study of the proteome of a cell, a tissue or an organism. It characterises the proteins and their modifications.
The close connections between GIGA-proteomic and many pluridisciplinary ULg laboratories synergises scientific emulation and supports essential developments needed in Proteomics: Mass Spectrometry Laboratory, Clinical Chemistry, Centre de Neurobiologie Cellulaire et Moléculaire and Center for Analysis of Residues in Traces .
