The MIC continues to work closely with Dr. Ang Cai in the RI-INBRE CRCF, Dr. Chang Liu, and Ni Deng in the College of Pharmacy to develop standardized workflows for proteomics projects. Proteomics is the preferred omics method of many biomedical applications because proteins are the typical target of drug action, unlike transcripts. However, a single […]
