The Proteomics Unit provides scientific and technical support and advising to the university community and other public or private institutions on the identification and characterization of proteins as well as other biomolecules fundamentally through mass spectrometry techniques. Mass spectrometry is based on the differential behavior of ionized molecules when passing through electrical and magnetic fields. This technique allows for these ions to be separated based on their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) and later detected.

It is located in the Proteomics Unit of the Central Research Support Services (SCAI, for its initials in Spanish) of the University of Málaga. It has an advanced scientific infrastructure and highly qualified staff. Its role is to conduct trials and provide scientific, technical, and teaching support in a comprehensive, centralized manner
