NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – Proteome Sciences said today that it will collaborate with CHDI Foundation on research into protein biomarkers for Huntington's disease.

Under the collaboration, the London-based company will use its Tandem Mass Tag reagents to develop mass spectrometry-based high density protein expression maps in cell lines carrying different levels of the CAG-repeat genetic alteration linked to Huntington's.

The work will be done at Proteome Sciences' ISO 9001:2008 certified facility in Frankfurt. Financial and other terms of the deal were not disclosed.
