Liana Tsiatsiani, postdoc at the Biomolecular Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics group (Utrecht University) received a 2-year EMBO Long-Term Fellowship for her research proposal entitled ‘Proteases on demand’. The proposed research aims to exploit the proteolytic information encrypted in fungi, an excellent resource of high biodiversity, for...
Experts in proteomics from Utrecht University and next-generation DNA sequencing from the Hubrecht Institute/UMC Utrecht collaborated in a study to systematically determine the consequences of genetic variation on the transcriptome and proteome. The researchers applied ultra-deep quantitative proteomics, whole genome sequencing and RNA-seq to liver...
