Our major role is to facilitate fundamental and applied research where mass spectrometry is needed. Groups that do not have expertise in mass spectrometry may choose to collaborate with us. In these cases there is significant intellectual input from the PCF and the work is published jointly. These collaborations usually seek funding to cover the analysis costs within realistic limits that the funding schemes will allow. These are typically much less than the actual costs which are subsidised by University of the Debrecen. Longer term continuation of collaborations is usually contingent upon funding and publications being forthcoming.
