QPC involvement across the proteomics workflow.

Workflow overview

Each project is discussed and tailored for technical feasibility, sound experimental design, and interpretable results.

1. Consultation and study planning

Projects begin with discussion to clarify the biological question, sample type, and experimental constraints. Study design (controls, replicates, quantitative strategy) is reviewed prior to experimental work.

2. Sample preparation and execution

Samples are processed using established workflows appropriate for the study design. This may include enrichment strategies, fractionation, and high-resolution mass spectrometry.

3. Data processing and quality control

Raw data are processed using validated analysis pipelines. Quality control is performed at multiple stages to assess completeness, reproducibility, and quantitative performance.

4. Data analysis and interpretation

Processed data are analysed and visualised in the context of the original biological question, with internal review before discussion with collaborators.

5. Data delivery and follow-up

Datasets, outputs, and visualised results are shared with collaborators. Follow-up discussions support interpretation and next-step planning.
