A deeper understanding of proteins — the molecules that shape structure, function and regulation of human body tissues and organs — is critical to continued progress in diagnostic medicine and health care. Fulton Schools Associate Professor Chao Wang is among researchers at the forefront of efforts to develop new methods to achieve rapid and accurate sequencing of protein molecules necessary to make important advances paving the way for better therapeutics to treat diseases. Unraveling the complexities of protein behavior could provide new therapies for many protein-linked maladies, including cystic fibrosis, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
