For decades, Alzheimer’s research was frustrated by a fundamental technical limitation: the brain is extraordinarily complex, and the location-specific molecular clues that matter most often exist at levels too low to measure in isolation.
The research lab of University at Buffalo professor Jun Qu is powering Thermo Fisher Scientific's advanced research into Alzheimer's.
Specifically, Qu's lab used technology developed by Thermo Fisher to identify early, region-specific changes in Alzheimer's-related proteins that traditional analysis could not detect.
The maps generated by Qu's lab could provide new insight into Alzheimer's and help improve drug target selection in future therapy development.
