Van Eyk Lab
The Van Eyk Laboratory is interested in the molecular basis behind a variety of cardiovascular disorders. Our projects range from basic discovery research to clinically relevant analytical studies. The common thread that runs through these projects is proteomics. We apply our considerable mass spectrometry-based expertise to deciphering the precise role that protein expression profiles and modifications play in disease progression. In brief, we are interested in how alterations to the proteome affects physiology.
Our expertise is in merging interesting biological questions with leading-edge analytical techniques, including mass spectrometry, that help decipher protein identities, quantities and modifications.
The Van Eyk Laboratory is affiliated with the Cedars-Sinai Smidt Heart Institute and the Advanced Clinical Biosystems Research Institute at Smidt Heart Institute.
Personal Statement
Our central philosophy is that compelling biological and clinical questions drive innovation through development, optimization and adaption of proteomic technologies, functional analysis and large-scale data handling. The primary research in our lab focuses 1) on understanding the molecular mechanism underlying acute and chronic disease and treatment therapies and 2) in the development of clinically robust circulating biomarkers including detailed exosome constituents."
