The award, managed by the Defense Department’s Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, aims to build a nanoscale protein array platform for studying alterations in cellular signaling pathways that accompany breast cancer research. The Iowa-based firm’s technology allows for a vast reduction in the amount of material needed for such analysis, according to a company news release.
