Attractive Innovation Project Awards 2019 - UU Innovation - Uppsala University, Sweden

Common to all projects is support från Uppsala University Innovation and success in securing external funding to further enhance development opportunities. Proteins are the workers of the cell, and many proteins interact with each other. In order to understand the importance of these interactions, there is a need to measure both free and interacting proteins. Ola Söderberg, professor at the Department of Pharmaceutical Biosciences, has developed a method to label each protein with its own unique colour, making it possible to measure the proteins individually. At the same time, the proportion of proteins that bind to each other are labelled with a combination of the colours.
