The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) has been awarded a $100,000 Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) to purchase a new 600 MHz NMR spectrometer with a 1.7 mm micro-cryoprobe and 60-sample changer. This instrument will replace a 15-year-old defunct 600 MHz spectrometer that supported UCSD's research programs in marine natural products discovery, structural biology, drug design, metabolomics, and systems biology. The new spectrometer is essential for researchers working with mass-limited samples and will enable high-throughput omics-scale studies. This award will restore critical NMR instrument time to support UCSD's ongoing efforts to discover new drug leads, develop complex molecule synthesis methods, identify disease biomarkers, and gain a quantitative understanding of cellular processes.
