Cardiovascular Proteomics Center

The Cardiovascular Proteomics Center is a research center funded by the NIH/NHLBI to analyze and identify proteins that may be modified or created by oxidative stress. The CPC is developing and applying new proteomics methodology and instrumentation to the analysis of known proteins and those yet to be discovered.
