Translating Proteomics

On this episode of Translating Proteomics, hosts Parag Mallick and Andreas Huhmer discuss the many ways proteomics can impact our interactions with food. Some of the topics they touch upon in this wide-ranging conversation include:

·      Proteomics and food quality

·      Proteomics and food safety

·      Developing new kinds of food with proteomics
