Roseman University of Health Sciences has earned a prestigious Research College and University (RCU) designation in the 2025 Carnegie Classifications, recognizing the university’s substantial research activity and spending. Presented by the American Council on Education (ACE) and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, the Carnegie Classification is widely recognized as a standard for evaluating institutions based on their research activity. 

Roseman University Librarians can assist with student, resident or faculty research projects in variety ways: as an advising resource or consultant who helps direct researchers in their search, or in the case of an extensive research project librarians can assist as a member of a research team.

The primary responsibility of the Roseman University IRB is to safeguard the rights and welfare of human subjects who participate in research conducted under the auspices of the university and to ensure that subjects are aware of their rights and protections available to them.

Proteomics at Roseman University

Both highly-specialized equipment (e.g. NanoPro 1000 ultrasensitive capillary-electrophoresis-based nano-fluidic protein analysis system) and fundamental equipment (e.g. conventional Western blot analysis instruments and LI-COR’s Odyssey infra-red imaging system) are available for all of the researchers at Roseman University of Health Sciences.  The NanoPro 1000 instrument (higher throughput and 1,000-times more sensitivity compared to conventional Western blotting) analyzes protein expression levels and protein phosphorylation levels with exquisite sensitivity.  The NanoPro 1000 system thus allows for accurate analysis of protein expression/phosphorylation of lower-abundance proteins (previously unrecognized in biological samples when using conventional Western blot techniques) and also allows protein analysis in extremely small sample sizes (e.g. <100 mammalian cells).
