Discovery of significant protein factors are expected to impact early diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of alcoholic diseases. The work will be conducted at LSBC's Proteomics Division. The study will generate a comprehensive database of changes in protein expression from different areas of the brain as induced by alcohol-related phenomena. LSBC's proprietary ProGEx(TM) protein expression technology will separate, quantify and identify proteins exhibiting significant correlations. The work will include collaboration with the Indiana University Alcohol Research Center, a specialized alcoholism research facility funded by NIAAA. "This proteomics study for NIAAA represents an application of LSBC technology in the vast and promising area of brain research," said Kevin J. Ryan, president and CEO of LSBC. "We are pleased by this opportunity to contribute to the mission of NIAAA and the global health implications of its focus."
