‘Deep proteome’ project provides atlas for human complexity
The Josh Coon Lab developed a meta-scale approach to quantifying the human proteome and the massive number of protein variants produced by the human body. Proteomics is a cornerstone of biology and a precursor to understanding how protein dysfunction contributes to disease.
Pathways to Immunity
Morgridge investigator Jing Fan embraces an interdisciplinary approach as she pushes the boundaries of immunometabolism to search for better ways to fight disease.
Mass spec fueling new explorations at the Carbone Cancer Center
Every cell has about 20,000 proteins, several hundred metabolites, and couple of thousand lipids. When those things get perturbed, bad things can happen. But measuring those changes may offer essential clues for fighting cancer.
Metabolism research has morphed from mundane to essential
At a meeting of the Wisconsin Tech Council, Morgridge scientists described the renaissance taking place in metabolism research, which is revealing newfound connections to disease and entirely new roads to treatment and prevention.
