Pierluigi Mauri

Pierluigi Mauri is chief of Proteomics and Metabolomics Laboratory ITB-CNR. He has setup a proteomics laboratory based on the MudPIT (Multidimensional Protein Identification Technology), a gel-free approch (using two dimensional chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry, 2DC-MS/MS) and a parallel computing system for proteomics. This instrumentation allows for the proteomic profiling of biological samples, without limitations, according to to protein molecular weight, pI or hydrophobicity and guarantees high productivity. In addition, the developed computational tools, such as MAPROMA, a labelfree quantitation software for simple visualization of data for biologists and clinicians, and extraction of putative biomarkers of diseases or therapeutic treatments.
