Research Summary:
Dr. Koller is the Technical Director of the Proteomics Center at the School of Medicine. The Proteomics Center provides a protein discovery platform for researchers at the University.  There are three components to the SBU proteomics facility: (1) protein extraction from cell lines and tissues; (2) sample analysis by gel electrophoresis or mass spectrometry-based shotgun proteomics; (3) tandem mass spectra analysis, protein quantification, and data mining.
