Collaborations
Northwestern Proteomics plays a pivotal role in advancing 21st century biology through strategic partnerships with multidisciplinary investigators from across Northwestern and beyond. Our joint research initiatives aim to accelerate the development of next-generation technologies for comprehensive proteoform analysis. The resulting innovations will revolutionize drug and diagnostics discovery and development, ushering in a new era of precision medicine.
The National Resource for Translational and Developmental Proteomics (NRTDP) is dedicated to accelerating a significant shift in how protein molecules are analyzed by mass spectrometry, with a focus on intact protein measurements.
The Consortium for Top-Down Proteomics is a non-profit corporation with members from academic institutions, corporations, and government agencies. Their Mission is to promote collaboration, education, and innovative research that will accelerate the Human Proteoform Project and Atlas initiatives.
HUMAN PROTEOFORM PROJECT & ATLAS
The Human Proteoform Project and Atlas is an ambitious initiative to generate a definitive reference set of all human proteoforms.
