Support CLP

Proteomics is poised to become the next genomics by 2030. At the head of the field, CLP houses the premier center for proteomics under the leadership of Neil Kelleher, a leading advocate for the Human Proteoform Project, a global initiative to map all proteins in the human body.

Leveraging an unsurpassed capability to analyze proteins, the Institute is ready to launch the next era of precision medicine by:

  • Discovering the changes in proteoforms that cause disease
  • Creating sensitive diagnostics to catch disease early and prevent organ damage
  • Identifying new, proteoform-enabled targets for drug development and delivery

The Institute has developed a series of Convergence Research Initiatives, which bring together teams of Northwestern chemists, life scientists and engineers, with clinicians in Northwestern’s Feinberg School of Medicine, to provide a holistic approach to critical clinical problems that stretch from the lab bench to the patient bedside. Working together, these teams are transforming how we diagnose, treat and, someday, cure devasting diseases that have eluded effective treatments, such as Alzheimer’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.

Creating a Healthier World Together

CLP’s continued progress in proteomics offers hope to the millions of people living with disease. Funding is critical to carrying out the Institute’s bold, five-year plan to conquer diseases of the brain and heart, cancer and other threats to societal health. Your investment in CLP will help catalyze the next wave of protein-informed medicine and expand the training of future scientists.
