An article about Protea Biosciences titled “Biotech Start-up Introduces First Product” was featured in the WVU Health News newsletter.
The article states that The Protea Explorer System, a $30,000 device developed at Protea Biosciences in Morgantown, allows scientists to complete a week’s worth of work in three hours. This work consists of identifying proteins that predict early onset of disease. In addition to the vast increase in speed, the enclosed system protects samples from contamination and allows better results from small quantities of biological materials.
Dr. Flynn and Dr. Aaron Timperman of the WVU Department of Chemistry are the company’s scientific advisers.
The full article can be found in the March 2006 edition of the WVU Health News newsletter or on WVU’s Healthcare website.
