The Center for Proteomics was established at the University of Rijeka Faculty of Medicine in Croatia in 2006, with the focus on high-throughput monoclonal antibodies (mAb) development for cutting-edge applications, including proteome analysis. It already disposes of several hundred hybridoma cell lines secreting mAbs to a large variety of target proteins.
Although part of the University of Rijeka Faculty of Medicine, a non-profit public higher education institution, the Center is currently funded exclusively from competitive international grants and commercial activities, which makes it a unique research department in Croatian academia.
Plans for the future: The Center will continue generating mAbs of the highest quality, which have been demanded by industrial and academic users worldwide due to their great significance in the studies of pathogenesis of viral disease. Their potential applications are also in translational research, including the characterization of diagnostic markers and experimental therapies. Immediate business plans include the establishment of a university spin-off company, which will be the first biotech enterprise in the Rijeka region.
