## Abstract

Omics Abstract
This is a continuation of an integrated CHAIN Center OMICS core. The complexity and intertwining of
proteomics, metabolomics and bioinformatics strongly indicated that the most beneficial and logical step for
this round of application is to group these three entities under one umbrella allowing for closer and more
effective use of technology to the advantage of research conducted by center’s investigators. Each component
of this ‘Omics Core (Proteomics led by Dr. Ciborowski, Metabolomics led by Dr. Siuzdak and Bioinformatics
now led by Dr. Guda) brings extensive respective expertise supported by close collaboration during the past
five years of CHAIN funding. Support of CHAIN Center and its investigators with advanced analytical and
bioinformatics technology platforms will be accomplished according to the following specific aims: 1. To provide
analytical technologies in proteomics and metabolomics via mass spectrometry and bioinformatics platforms
for comprehensive data analyses; 2. To provide expertise in experimental design, data analyses and software
tools in support of studies needed by investigators associated with this center; 3. To develop new approaches
and analytical techniques for proteomic and metabolomics studies to meet the current and future needs of
CHAIN investigators; 4. To enable genome-scale technology and state-of-the-art bioinformatic tools for the
needs of the Center; and 5. To coordinate efforts of this core at all levels within the neuroAIDS and Center’s
communities. These specific aims are designed to meet the Center’s goals, and the three Core investigators
not only bring significant expertise in proteomics, metabolomics and bioinformatics but also have a good
understanding of chronically developing condition such as HIV and its neurobiology, and experience in
neuroAIDS studies, which facilitate the likelihood of success of CHAIN Center investigators. One of
expectations is that results of proteomics experiments will be integrated with metabolomics data, and through
the use of bioinformatics analysis tools in this Core a collaborative effort will result in integrated data collection,
sharing and analysis capabilities that are simultaneously divers and integrated, not only enabling our
investigators to meet their scientific aims but generating a unique resource for HIV infection of the central
nervous system and ageing. Further integration of this core, will enable its leaders to recognize which
researchers of this center would benefit from the other omics support. Moreover, all information will be shared
via mechanisms provided by the administrative core in form of in-person (mini symposia) or on-line (webinars)
meetings as well as multiple educational avenues, i.e. tutorials associated with databases, monographic and
textbooks. Drs. Siuzdak, Ciborowski and Guda have solid track record of attracting new investigators.
