Summary: This project aims to address current shortcomings in approaches that visualise and measure proteins in cells and tissue using bespoke metal labels and high-resolution mass spectrometry imaging. It expects to increase the utility of 'immuno-mass spectrometry imaging' technology to analyses that are refractory to current techniques and workflows. Expected outcomes include metal probes that facilitate the spatial quantification of multiple biomolecules on a single histological section, providing significant benefits to bioscience laboratories that require complex workflows to obtain the same information.
