New functional protein measuring technology could advance drug discovery research

A new biomedical research tool that enables scientists to measure hundreds of functional proteins in a single cell could offer new insights into cell machinery. Led by Jun Wang, Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Stony Brook University, this microchip assay—called the single-cell cyclic multiplex in situ tagging (CycMIST) technology—may help to advance fields such as molecular diagnostics and drug discovery. Details about the cyclic microchip assay method are published in Nature Communications.
