NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – The University of Manchester is collaborating with UK-based diagnostics firm Abcodia to identify protein biomarkers for risk stratification and early detection of lung cancer.

The effort is one of a series of biomarker development projects the university will run out of the Stoller Biomarker Discovery Centre that it plans to open next year supported by £17 million ($27 million) in funding largely from the UK's Medical Research Council.

Digital PCR for Tag Copy Number Assessment in CRISPR-Edited Cell Lines

Fluorescent proteins or self-labeling tags are invaluable tools for studying protein dynamics in living cells using fluorescence microscopy. However, quantitative imaging requires physiological levels of expression of the target protein of interest (POI), especially when stoichiometric interactions of the POI need to be investigated.
