Integromics has announced the two winners of the Integromics “Proteomics Mass Spectrometry Research Grant” competition for the creative use of Integromics' OmicsHub proteomics solution.

The winners are Professor Stephen Pennington from University College Dublin, and Dr. Michelle Cilia from the U.S. Department of Agriculture—Agricultural Research Service.

From 50 applicants, 12 were chosen, with two final winners who will each receive a free one-year license to OmicsHub Proteomics.

Dr. Cilia is conducting research focusing on plant virus transmission by aphids, insects that feed on the phloem sap of plants and transmit hundreds of destructive plant viruses.

The University College Dublin research proposal aims to build a mass spectrometry clinical utility to discover and develop protein biomarkers assays to establish disease and clinical decision from patient samples.
