Today, spatial proteomics is introducing a new dimension to proteomic analysis. By mapping proteins within their native tissue environment, scientists can connect molecular function to cellular architecture and uncover how these relationships drive health and disease.

In this Tell Us What You Know episode, Syncell’s Jung-Chi Liao joins Drug Discovery News to discuss how spatial proteomics technologies are evolving and what breakthroughs they’re making possible for biomedical research and drug discovery.

Watch this episode to learn:

How spatial proteomics reveals protein localization and function
The major challenges in high-precision protein mapping and how advanced technology addresses them
How spatial proteomics is driving new therapeutic insights from breast cancer to fatty liver disease

Syncell

Syncell is a life science technology company providing unique solutions to next-generation proteomics, unbiased, deep, spatially precise, highly sensitive, and highly specific all in one. Established in 2020, Syncell quickly launched its first Microscoop® platform Microscoop Mint and proprietary reagents Synlight™ and Synpull™ in 2024 to fill the gap of high-precision microscopy-guided proteomic discovery. The technology was designed to address the pain points of biological researchers in breadth, enabling microscopy-guided spatial protein purification and proteomic discovery at any visually recognizable regions of interest. Our commercial team is working tightly with the customers, and together with the R&D and production teams to maximize our customer’s success in discovering key protein players for specific problems of interest.
