COAST - Centre of Applied Research and Transfer

The Centre of Applied Research and Transfer (COAST) is a joint activity of the Institute of Marine Biotechnology and the University of Greifswald. We cooperate with the Centre of Functional Genomics of Microbes (C_FunGene) of the University of Greifswald, which is one of the leading institutes in the field of functional genomics of bacteria with special expertise in global and functional proteome analysis.

The technical platform of COAST comprises metabomic, transcriptomic and proteomic techniques. The proteomic techniques include mass spectrometry based protein or peptide identification and characterization.

Our proteomics platform allows for the analysis of a high number of samples (high throughput proteomics), for the charactrization of stimulus or desease related proteomic signatures or markers and for a closer look at interesting candidate proteins, their expression profiles and modifications.

We are interested in cooperations in the field of proteome analysis with partners from industry or academia. We can support the projects with

• high resolution and high throughput (meta)proteomic approaches
• reliable bioinformatic analyses
• subcellular and quantitative proteomics (differential labeling, and multidimensional separation and multi-reaction monitoring approaches)
