News – Seyfried Lab

Dr. Sarah Shapley, former graduate student, and Dr. Nicholas Seyfried are featured in ASBMB Today for their recent Molecular & Cellular Proteomics paper where Emory University researchers developed a method to capture tau-associated proteins found in diseased human brains.

Emory University researchers engineered an enzyme that marks proteins (red) that interact with tau (blue) during aggregation by labeling them with biotin (B), which makes them easier to isolate and identify.
