About Us

The Kinetic Parameter Facility (KPF) is an experimental research and resource facility in SynthSys at the University of Edinburgh. KPF contains state-of-the-art equipment for high-end quantitative life science research, which we offer on a service and/or collaboration basis. 
Our expertise ranges from quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics, q-RT-PCR and liquid handling robotics to protein analysis.

The facility is run by highly skilled experimentalists together with dedicated technical staff and a project manager. The KPF staff conduct advanced methodological and applied research, collect and analyse data for a wide range of collaborations, train facility users and ensure that the equipment is well maintained and fully operational.

All our experimental facilities are available for general use following suitable training. Charges may apply.  Please contact Project Manager for Experiments Dr Lorraine Kerr to discuss your requirements and to obtain more information.

Our research focusses on technical and analytical advances in mass spectrometry-based proteomics and gene expression. Internal research includes phosphopeptide detection, label-free quantification, 15N-based protein turnover, dimethyl labelling and proteogenomics on Ostreococcus tauri. Projects include circadian phospho-proteomics and proteomic profiling of nutrient deprivation among others.

Our outreach activities range from work experience and internships to summer academies, school visits and science festival events. Our robotic music collaboration Labnotes is available online, as is the I'm a Scientist - get me out of here competition, which we won in 2012.
