Despite their importance, however, molecular biologists rarely study proteins directly because the technology to do so is limited and does not easily scale to a large quantity of cells. Lackluster ExperimentsThe main technology used to study proteins, called mass spectrometry, was invented more than a century ago. Slavov’s group was already building methods to scale single-cell proteomics at that time. Marblestone asked Slavov if his ideas to scale proteomics might benefit from a focused research organization structure; Slavov said it would.
