Internet2 Enabling Post-Genomic Technology at
Marquette

• The CPFM is in early stages of development
• Projects focus on studies of protein function
  (applied genomics)
• Participants from
• - MCW
• - Marquette (Biology Chemistry)
• - UW-Milwaukee (MFBSC)
• - UW-Madison (NMRFAM)
• Long term goal Science in Service to
  Society

The Promise of Genomics not yet realized

• Potential Benefits
• Better understanding of biology
• Pharmacogenomics personalized medicine
• Treatments for currently untreatable disease
• Drugs with fewer side effects
• Better understanding of toxicology of pollutants

Genes gt Proteins
The human genome is data not knowledge, and will
be useless until we understand what it means.

What is the Chemical Proteomics Facility at
Marquette? Resources (equipment, software) and
people

• With a mission to
• Enable Chemical Proteomic studies of
  protein-ligand interactions
• Facilitate collaboration across departments and
  institutions
• Provide a better understanding of basic biology
• Use science to address social needs
• Train scientists and entrepreneurs with social
  conscience

S3 Biotechnology with social conscience
science, business, law and engineering
