NCCR Structural MS Platform

The Leitner group hosts the Structural MS Platform of the external page NCCR RNA & Disease. NCCRs (National Centers of Competence in Research) are a research instrument of the external page Swiss National Science Foundation. The main goals of the NCCR RNA & Disease are
 

• Establishing a Swiss RNA research focus that consolidates and reinforces the position of Switzerland in RNA biology by a coordinated, interdisciplinary research program.
• Building bridges between basic and medical research to promote rapid transition of new findings into medical applications
• Advancing our understanding of RNA processing and surveillance mechanisms involved in global regulation of mRNAs and ncRNAs.
• Identification of disease mechanisms resulting from aberrant RNA function.
• Development of possible therapeutic and diagnostic approaches.

The Structural MS Platform offers support to NCCR member groups to carry out joint projects in the field of protein-protein and protein-RNA cross-linking. Researchers interested in the platform’s services can contact Alexander Leitner by .
