The Center for Advanced Proteomics Analyses (CAPA) is a nationally-funded research and core facility located at the Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer (IRIC) on the campus of Université de Montréal. The facility is under the direction of Dr. Pierre Thibault who is assisted by a team of specialists in protein purification and separation, bioanalytical mass spectrometry and bioinformatics. CAPA builds upon multi-disciplinary expertise to provide a wide range of proteomic analyses to Canadian and international researchers. This technological platform has been in operation since 2005, and gradually expanded its proteomics services in response to increasing demands for trace-level protein identification and targeted analyses.
