This federal Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director, under the NIH Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351), provides $1,759,412 to the Buck Institute for Research on Aging to acquire a Bruker TIMSTOF FLEX MALDI-2 mass spectrometry system for spatial molecular imaging. The instrument will enable the Buck Institute and a collaborative network of 18 independent investigators from 8 institutions to spatially resolve molecular signatures, including proteins, glycans, lipids, and metabolites, in human and animal tissues and organoids down to a 5-10 micron resolution. This advanced mass spectrometry platform will support ongoing and future research projects examining key issues of human health and healthspan, including the biology of aging, age-related diseases like Alzheimer's and Huntington's, and other conditions such as Parkinsonism, osteoarthritis, kidney disease, and metabolic disorders. The award period is from April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026.
