This Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351 - Research Infrastructure Programs) provides $1,658,828 to the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) to acquire a Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Astral Mass Spectrometer. This state-of-the-art mass spectrometry instrument will support NIH-funded research across multiple disease areas, including cancer, immunotherapy, cardiovascular disease, liver and digestive disease, neurological disease, and addiction. The new equipment will enhance MUSC's research capabilities by providing faster data acquisition, improved sensitivity, quantitative resolution, and reproducibility of proteomic measurements compared to the university's current instrumentation. This advanced technology is expected to accelerate the discovery of disease mechanisms and insights into therapeutic responses. The award period runs from August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2026.
