Why Billionaires Ken Griffin And Eric Schmidt Are Spending $50 Million On A New Kind Of Scientific Research

“This approach was prototyped at Northeastern University, in the laboratory of Nikolai Slavov,” says Schmidt, adding that Slavov and his colleagues will be involved in founding PTI.

Semiconductor Chip Sequences Single Proteins

“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.

Single-cell proteomics takes centre stage

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 […]

How statistics weakened mRNA’s predictive power

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 […]

What is the difference between Alzheimer’s and dementia?

These two terms are often used interchangeably, but dementia can be caused by diseases other than Alzheimer’s.

‘Game-changing’ Alzheimer’s research by Northeastern professor is major beneficiary of $50 million grant

Scientists at the Parallel Squared Technology Institute intend to use new techniques to significantly ramp up single-cell protein analysis of Alzheimer’s disease, which researchers suspect is caused by a buildup of abnormal proteins in and around brain cells.

Northeastern University proteomics researcher receives grant from Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to help map all cells in the human body to better understand cancer, diabetes, and other diseases

Nikolai Slavov, an assistant professor of bioengineering at Northeastern, has developed a data-driven technique to detect more than 2,000 proteins in a single cell. He says the method could be used to help scientists create new therapies to treat cancer, diabetes, and other diseases.

How this researcher’s risky idea could mean big things for regenerative medicine

Quantifying the proteins in a single cell has implications for cell biology, cancer treatments, and stem cell research. But so far, scientists have been able to identify fewer than 100 proteins in an individual cell. Nikolai Slavov, an assistant professor of bioengineering at Northeastern, has devised a method to quantify 10 times that many.
