A technology developed in the laboratory of Prof. Amit Meller from the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology Faculty of Biomedical Engineering marks a significant advancement toward rapid proteome analysis, with far-reaching implications for both fundamental research and disease diagnosis.
A 2023 Nature opinion article identified the seven most important emerging technologies to watch—with single-molecule protein sequencing taking the top spot. The article highlighted the pivotal contributions of Prof. Meller’s research group in advancing key technologies toward the commercialization of protein sequencing systems, paving the way for a true revolution in biological and medical research.
Since proteins are the body’s fundamental building blocks, their rapid and precise identification is crucial for understanding human health and disease. In a paper published in Nature Nanotechnology, Prof. Meller reports a breakthrough that brings this vision significantly closer to reality.
