“The authors report an interesting approach to sequencing peptides based on optical detection of proteins that recognize N-terminal amino acids,” said Nikolai Slavov, PhD, director of the single-cell proteomics center at the Northeastern University College of Engineering.

That study is one of at least half a dozen over the past year that have described single-cell proteomics strategies, tools and preliminary findings. And more are coming. In 2018, Nikolai Slavov, a systems biologist at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, hosted his first annual conference on single-cell proteomics, which attracted about 50 attendees. This […]

Most biologists would likely have nodded at this conclusion and read on, but to bioengineer Nikolai Slavov of Northeastern University in Boston, the paper’s claim represented a statistical “elephant in the room,” he said. “It was clear to me that this was not consistent with their data from the moment I saw it, and that’s […]
