º£½Ç¾«Æ·ºÚÁÏ

Dear Colleagues, 

For over 20 years, º£½Ç¾«Æ·ºÚÁÏ’s Sheldon Biotechnology Centre at the Duff Medical Building has provided provincial, national, and international clientele with personalized, high-quality research services to characterize biomolecules.

Since its founding, the Sheldon Centre has evolved to meet the shifting needs of researchers in the natural and life sciences – and that tradition continues today.

In response to a rapidly changing research environment, the following changes to the Sheldon Centre’s core facilities and services will soon be implemented:     

• The Sheldon SPR Facility (Biacore 3000) will be relocating to º£½Ç¾«Æ·ºÚÁÏ’s Life Sciences Complex.
• The Sheldon Multiplexing Facility (Meso Scale Discovery Sector Imager 2400) will be relocating to the Strathcona Building.
• The Sheldon Edman Sequencing and Peptide Synthesis services will no longer be offered.
• For inquiries related to Mass Spectrometry services, please email bernard.gibbs [at] mcgill.ca (Dr. Bernard Gibbs).

The researchers affiliated with the Sheldon Biotechnology Centre have generated over 500 articles in peer-reviewed publications to date. In recognition of its research accomplishments, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the many individuals and partners – especially Dr. Huntington Sheldon, the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada (NSERC) – who have supported research excellence and student training at the Sheldon Centre over the past two decades. Thank you as well to the long-time clients who continue to choose research services offered through the Sheldon Centre and across º£½Ç¾«Æ·ºÚÁÏ.

The º£½Ç¾«Æ·ºÚÁÏ SPR Facility and º£½Ç¾«Æ·ºÚÁÏ Multiplexing Facility remain open for business and welcome new projects. Those teams look º£½Ç¾«Æ·ºÚÁÏ to assisting with your research grants and projects in 2014 and beyond.

Sincerely,

Dr. Rose Goldstein

Vice-Principal (Research and International Relations)
