Biomolecular structural analysis and precise and accurate quantitative measurements in multicomponent mixtures of biological interest are a cornerstone of modern biological and biomedical research. Large collaborative projects, worldwide, in the life sciences domain have recently paid close attention to integrating bioanalytical expertise and modern instrumentation into their mainstream activities. The primary mission of the proposed Biochemical Analysis Center is to promote the uses of biomolecular structural analysis and bioanalytical measurements in wide-ranging life sciences research activities on the Bloomington campus and within the IU Medical School through (a) close collaboration of biological/biomedical scientists with the personnel and faculty associated with the Center; (b) provision of routine analytical services to the faculty outside the Center, and (c) educating biological scientists on how to use modern bioanalytical techniques on their own (open access).
