RASOR

RASOR (Radical Solutions for Researching the proteome) is a unique research programme to advance proteomics and its applicaton in life sciences and biomedical reseach.  Drawing on interdisciplinary and complementary skills, the aim is to design new proteomics methods and equipment that will solve cutting edge research challenges.

The RASOR research programme is underpinned by the Doctoral Training Centre in Proteomic and Cell Technologies which trains an average of 10 students per year on a 4 year MRes/PhD programme in scientific areas interleaving with RASOR objectives, in the fields of proteomics, imaging and microfluidics, with a particular focus on a wide range of technologies in cell and molecular biology, microarrays, sensors, instrumentation and spectroscopy.

 

Rasor is funded through the Interdisciplinary Research Collaboration Initiative
