Spatial Proteomics with Fiona Ginty Ph.D.
Manage episode 485666987 series 3566384
On this episode of Translating Proteomics, host Parag Mallick discusses spatial proteomics with special guest Fiona Ginty Ph.D. Fiona is a Senior Principal Scientist in Precision Diagnostics at the GE Healthcare Technology & Innovation Center. She is a leader in the development of spatial proteomics technologies and their application in precision diagnostics and medicine.
Their discussion covers:
· How Fiona began working in spatial proteomics
· Why spatial biology is important
· What the future holds for spatial biology
