Description

ULisboa's Fourier-Transform Ion-Cyclotron-Resonance and Structural Mass Spectrometry Laboratory (FT-ICR-MS-Lisboa) is the most Advanced mass spectrometry facility in Portugal, one of the 10 European FT-ICR-MS research centres, it coordinates the Portuguese Mass Spectrometry Network (FCT Roadmap) and represents Portugal at the Integrated Structural Biology (Instruct) European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC), or “Instruct-ERIC”, for mass spectrometry.

It is a research laboratory exploring biological and biochemical problems at the molecular level through extreme-resolution mass spectrometry.

The FT-ICR-MS-Lisboa is a pioneer research unit specialized in top-down proteomics, structural mass spectrometry and metabolomic fingerprinting. It is integrated in the Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre (MARE) and is a core centre of the European Network of FT-ICR Mass Spectrometry Centres (EU FT-ICR MS network).
