Press Coverage of Environmental Proteomics Launch
News-Medical.net
The July 21, 2004 issue of News-Medical.net, stated that Environment Proteomics...
fills a niche in the world market by manufacturing custom-made tools (antibodies) used in the study of proteins. Antibodies for use in typical laboratory subjects such as mammals are easily obtained, but it is very difficult to find these tools for use with other organisms, such as fish, plants, and algae. Recognizing the need for these products through [Dr. Douglas Campbell's] own research at Mount A over the last six years, Campbell appreciated the innovative applications of his findings.
BioAtlantech
The BioAtlantech web site states that Environmental Proteomics'
antibodies have a wide range of uses and can detect proteins associated with photosynthesis, whether they occur in plant tissue or algae. This has provided Environmental Proteomics with very useful tools for several fields, including aquaculture and agriculture.
Times & Transcript
The Times & Transcript newspaper (July 15, 2004, p. A5) states that Environmental Proteomics'
is Mount Allison University's first spinoff biotechnology company. The company was conceived after the team realized that no-one manufactured the kinds of antibodies they needed to suit their own research within the Biology Department.
