The Canadian National Proteomics Network (CNPN) has named Dr. Leonard Foster (UBC Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and Michael Smith Labs) as its 2022 recipient of the Tony Pawson Proteomics Award. Kristensen Mol BioSys 2013
Presented today at the CNPN annual meeting, held in Montreal from May 16-18th, 2022, the award recognized Dr. Foster’s lifetime contributions to the developments of proteomics technologies.
One of the key technologies was the basis for a significant publication in Cell last year, entitled “An atlas of protein-protein interactions across mouse tissues.” The July 2021 study opened up new avenues to uncover regulatory mechanisms that shape interactome responses to normal and abnormal stimuli in mammalian systems. Work described in the paper relied on techniques for characterizing protein interactions and protein complexes on a system-wide scale, particularly co-migration and measurement of large-scale temporal changes to protein interaction networks: A cutting edge proteomics method first described by Foster and colleagues in 2012.
