As part of the Government’s £213 million World Class Labs investment scheme bringing upgrades to research organisations across the UK, the University of Dundee has received two grants totaling more than £1 million in the areas of life sciences and arts and humanities.
The University’s MRC Protein Phosphorylation and Ubiquitylation Unit (MRC PPU) has been awarded £808,000 to purchase mass spectrometers and key computational resources to support research. Professor Dario Alessi, Director of the MRC-PPU, said, “We are immensely appreciative for this generous funding, especially during such challenging times. This has allowed us to purchase a state-of-the-art new mass spectrometer and other instruments to undertake biophysical analysis. This apparatus will help our investigators to better probe the biological mechanisms underlying diseases including cancer and Parkinson’s.”
