Proteome Sciences reports collaboration research agreement

Biotech group Proteome Sciences has agreed to work with CHDI Foundation Inc on a systems biology project regarding Huntington's disease.Initially, Proteome will provide its PS Biomarker Services protein profiling to CHDI's research programmes. The analyses will be performed at Proteome's facility in Frankfurt, Germany."We are delighted that CHDI has selected PS Biomarker Services? to deliver potential proteomic markers that could help elucidate mechanisms of Huntington's disease pathology," said Proteome' Chief Operating Officer Ian Pike. "The link between the Huntington's disease genotype and disease phenotype remains poorly understood and we will apply our Tandem Mass Tag workflows to provide high density protein expression maps in cell lines carrying different CAG-repeat lengths," he said.
