People from the Centre working for this project:
Prof. Marc Wilkins
Leader of the project and director of the Centre. Marc has published >100 peer-reviewed research papers, review papers and book chapters and has edited 2 books. Marc’s research has tackled many of the key issues in proteomics. A particular strength has been the capacity to combine large-scale analytical techniques with complex bioinformatics to open new avenues for biological investigation. Current research interests are (i) the role of protein methylation in the proteome (ii) the dynamics of protein interaction networks and (iii) the analysis of next-generation sequencing data.
