Center for Iron & Heme Disorders at The University of Utah School of Medicine
Putting the Heme in Hematology
Our center supports four cores:
- The Iron & Heme Core measures the activity of enzymes that synthesize heme and heme precursor molecules and determines transition metal levels in biologic samples.
- The Protein Metabolite Interaction Core uses a unique system to find metabolites that bind to your protein of interest and identifies how these small molecules activate, stabilize or repress your protein’s activity.
- The Metabolomics/Lipidomics Core identifies metabolic changes in the basic building blocks of cells, molecules necessary in the bioenergetics of cells and lipids that are both functional and structural.
- The Enrichment Core provides training programs at each of the cores and organizes seminars to educate the expert to the novice in up and coming areas of hematology.
