Facility to Boost Metabolomics Research at
Baylor
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) and Baylor College of
Medicine, both known for their expertise in metabolomics, are
working together to advance research and training in this vital
branch of the life sciences.
To that end, Agilent and Baylor have opened the Agilent
Technologies Mass Spectrometry Center of Excellence as part of the
Alkek Center for Molecular Discovery and the Baylor College of
Medicine Core Laboratory in the college’s department of molecular
and cellular biology.
“Our collaborative relationship with Baylor and our shared
investment in this new center will foster development of advanced
research tools and new applications in metabolomics and integrated
biology,” said Carl Raimond, Agilent vice president of Sales and
Field Operations, Americas Life Sciences. Dr. Bert O’Malley,
director of the Alkek Center for Molecular Discovery at Baylor,
said, “This decision by Agilent will be a major addition to the
Alkek Center in the area of metabolomics and will greatly aid our
metabolic R&D and service capabilities for the Texas Medical
Center.”
“The growing significance of metabolomics, not only in life
science research but in many application spaces, has resulted in
the need for more analytical capabilities,” said Dr. Arun
Sreekumar, co-director of the Alkek Center. “Baylor and Agilent
have identified several areas of mutual interest—metabolomics,
lipidomics, clinical research, disease research—where we believe we
can make real progress together.”
Agilent is equipping the new center with two systems configured
for metabolomics: an Agilent 6495 triple quadrupole LC/MS
system and an Agilent 6550 iFunnel quadrupole time-of-flight LC/MS
system with a switchable GC APCI interface. The systems include
Mass Hunter software for qualitative and quantitative analysis as
well as Mass Profiler Professional with Pathway Architect for
bioinformatics and integrated multi-omic analysis.
Baylor and Agilent will use the equipment collaboratively to
analyze samples, conduct research and train students. Both parties
have enjoyed a long-standing scientific relationship, which has
resulted in several published application breakthroughs in cancer
metabolomics.
