Mass spectrometry to identify, quantify and localize novel regulators of pathological processes underlying CKD-associated CVD (S03)

• Subject Area: Biochemistry
• Term: since 2018
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 322900939

This service project transitions seamlessly from identifying novel mediators and understanding post-translational modifications to characterizing the metabolites driving these processes. Mass spectrometry remains central to the SFB/TRR consortium, providing unparalleled precision and sensitivity to bridge fundamental discoveries with clinical translation. As a critical hub for proteomics, peptidomics and metabolomics, this project will advance our understanding of CKD-associated CVD, translating insights into actionable clinical strategies to improve patient outcomes.
