Building on its foundation in insect, mammalian, and bacterial expression, OET has expanded its offering to include high-precision protein sequencing services powered by Quantum-Si’s Platinum® platform, helping bring next-generation protein analysis to a broader range of researchers and drug developers.
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.
December 2, 2024 • Meredith Carpenter, PhD – Head of Scientific Affairs Imagine a world where we can unravel the intricate details of protein diversity with single-molecule precision. This vision is becoming a reality thanks to a recently released preprint publication on bioRxiv from Dr. Gloria Sheynkman and her team at the University of Virginia […]
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 […]
By Brian Reed, PhD, Head of Research At the Festival of Genomics meeting held earlier this summer, Dr. Gloria Sheynkman, Assistant Professor at the University of Virginia, captivated a full audience with her presentation on the use of next-generation protein sequencing (NGPS) on the Quantum-Si Platinum® instrument to detect disease-relevant proteoforms. This significant interest in […]
By Justyna Fert-Bober, Ph.D. This month, I had the privilege of attending the US Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) meeting in the vibrant city of Portland. As a researcher from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center deeply immersed in the world of proteomics, the event never fails to disappoint. HUPO is unique in that it combines both biology and […]
