Dr Uhlen was the Founding Director of the national infrastructure Science for Life Laboratory (SciLifeLab) from 2010 to 2015.
The objective of the program is to map all the human proteins in cells, tissues, and organs using integration of various omics technologies, including antibody-based imaging, mass spectrometry-based proteomics, transcriptomics, and systems biology.
The ultimate aim for the project is a complete understanding of the functions and interactions of all proteins and where in the different cells and tissues they reside.
The resource consists of various sections, spanning from tissues,[8] brain,[9] immune cells,[10] blood proteins, diseases and structures.
