This research develops a protein-based detection technology capable of identifying subtle molecular changes months before disease symptoms appear. By adapting nanopore sequencing with a protein “detangler,” it enables early warning for conditions like leukemia, shifting medicine from reactive treatment to proactive disease prevention.

This research provides the first-ever map of the honeybee gut protein interactome to understand how the parasite Nosema disrupts bee health. By isolating gut protein interactions and identifying them via mass spectrometry and computational analysis, the project uncovers how infection alters essential networks, paving the way for targeted, safer treatments for honeybee disease.
