Toronto researchers devise new method to find proteins for targeted treatment of disease

Researchers at the University of Toronto and Sinai Health have devised a new molecular platform to identify proteins involved in disease and potentially target them for therapy.

The Senior Investigators Drs. Anne-Claude Gingras and Daniel Schramek from the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute, part of Sinai Health, contributed to the study, which was led by Dr. Mikko Taipale from U of T’s Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomedical Research, and reported in the journal Nature.
