Announcing the First Quantum-Si Pioneer Grant Winner: Resha Rajkarnikar 

We’re thrilled to spotlight the first winner of our Pioneer Grant, Resha Rajkarnikar, a graduate student in Mythreye Karthikeyan’s lab at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Resha’s project focuses on an exciting and understudied area of cancer biology: the regulation and functional role of mitogen-activated protein kinase 15 (MAPK15) in ovarian cancer.

Scaling Smarter: A New Era in Preclinical Animal Testing 

Next-gen protein sequencing (NGPS) is poised to transform our ability to study ncORFs. Traditional proteomics methods can struggle to detect tiny or low-abundance proteins. In contrast, NGPS can bridge the gap between genomic data and functional proteins, allowing researchers to detect smaller peptides and translate ncORFs more effectively.

Customer Q&A: A New View of the Central Dogma

August 1, 2024 • Winston Timp, PhD In a 2020 article co-authored with his father,1 Dr. Timp noted that “The prevalence of heterogeneity in mRNA translation, posttranslational modifications (PTMs) and posttranslational structural processing are revealed only by direct protein-level analysis, and there is a pressing need for it.” At the time of the publication, proteomics relied mainly on a […]

Dawning a New Era in the Future of Proteomics

By Jeff Hawkins The history of scientific research is mostly filled with periods of incremental progress, wherein seemingly disparate studies slowly—and sometimes unknowingly—chip away at conceptual and technological barriers. As these small moments of progress accumulate, they begin to reach a critical mass tipping point, one punctuated by the collapse of barriers and the sudden […]
