Smart Capture Phases for Proteomics, Glycomics & Biomarker Assays
Proteome Sciences partners with the BioCapture Network in this interdisciplinary project we will design high affinity responsive molecular capture materials targeting tumor specific markers. Molecularly imprinted polymers or “plastic antibodies” and other smart materials will be developed and used to detect and sense previously inaccessible tumor markers or to discover novel disease biomarkers.

Investigating of Phospho-Tau Forms as Alzheimer's Markers
genomeweb.com-"The company hopes that looking at multiple species of the phosphorylated tau protein could allow for earlier and more accurate diagnosis of the disease."
Spectrometry Technique Enhances Detection of Early Stage AD Biomarkers
“This study clearly demonstrates the potential of combined tissue and fluid proteomics to discover and validate low abundant, tissue-derived biomarkers in peripheral fluids, which in this case resulted in the widest coverage of both tau and phosphorylated tau in human cerebrospinal fluid.
Stacking the Odds in Alzheimer's Disease Drug Development
We have been developing several drugs that modulate the phosphorylation of the aggregating protein tau in Alzheimer’s disease by inhibiting the protein casein kinase 1 delta. We have tested them in a model of human tauopathy (aggregating tau diseases) and analyzed brain tissue with SysQuant® to determine the drug’s mechanism of action.
