Official Description

Proteomics has emerged as a crucial field for understanding diseases, developing diagnostics, and designing effective therapeutics. Rapid, agnostic detection of future unknown protein-based biological threats necessitates the development of single-molecule protein sequencing technology that can differentiate the 20 canonical amino acids and beyond. While DNA sequencing has become widely accessible, protein sequencing has lagged behind due to significant technical complexity, including the 20 pri...
