## Abstract

Mass Spectrometry and Molecular Biology Module 
Abstract 
The objective of the Mass Spectrometry and Molecular Biology Module is to enhance the capabilities of 
individual investigators to conduct cutting edge research in the vision sciences. Our Aims are: 1) to provide 
resources, support and training required for conducting studies involving mass spectrometry, molecular and 
cell biology techniques at the level exceeding the capabilities of any individual laboratory; 2) to promote 
collegiality across the community of vision scientists through sharing resources, techniques and expertise; and 
3) to engage colleagues into conducting vision research, including support of the next generation of basic and 
clinician scientists. To achieve these Aims, this Module will support sophisticated facilities equipped with 
state-of-the-art instrumentation and cutting edge software support. The Module will be supervised and 
operated by highly experienced personnel, with expertise in conducting a broad array of mass spectrometry 
and other molecular techniques, including but not limited to proteomics, mass spectrometry of small 
molecules, RT-PCR, quantitative fluorescent imaging and tissue culture. These shared resources will open new 
research possibilities for both experienced and novice users, and will serve as a platform for fostering 
interactions among a broad swath of our research community.
