The BioAnalytical Facility (BAF), directed by Ana Paula Alonso and managed by Jean Christophe Cocuron, features state-of-the art mass spectrometers with advanced capabilities for separating and quantifying small molecules and macromolecules. The BAF offers metabolomics services to internal and external users.

About

The BAF vision is to unconditionally support researchers in the field of metabolomics. This facility has state-of-the art mass spectrometer instruments that can quantify metabolites and their labeling as well as macromolecules. Ana Paula Alonso (BAF's Director) , Jean Christophe Cocuron (BAF's Manager) , and Yasmeen Elharis (Research Coordinator) are committed to assist scientists: i) in the design of robust analytical methods, and ii) the interpretation of data. 

The BAF vision is to unconditionally support researchers worldwide in the field of metabolomics. Therefore, its mission is to:

  • Provide access to the core facility for all researchers for services and research
  • Train researchers regarding the utilization of state-of-the art mass spectrometers
  • Assist scientists in the design of robust analytical methods as well as the integration and interpretation of data
  • Provide letters of support for funding agencies
  • Offer outreach services through educational workshops and tours.
