Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. has entered into a
technology alliance partnership agreement with scientists at Princeton University,
establishing a formal collaboration to accelerate research in triple quadrupole
and high-resolution accurate mass (HRAM) liquid chromatography-mass
spectrometry (LCMS) for life science applications.
The agreement, a broad collaboration between Thermo
Fisher scientists and Princeton scientists includes: engaging in research,
sharing samples and data that could lead to development of better techniques,
exchanging ideas and opinions about improving instrument and software
performance, ongoing discourse about current technology issues, and publishing
new methodologies and scientific advances. The groups had previously
collaborated informally.
The alliance will focus on three research areas:
metabolomics, proteomics, and mass spectrometry/proteomics method development.
