Previous challenges
Identifying and characterizing insect integrated membrane proteins
“Identifying novel and efficacious insect control traits is a key challenge for the entire agricultural industry. For this challenge we were trying to find faster, more efficient methods to characterize and differentiate binding sites of our candidate proteins.”
Matthew Bramlett, Head Trait Discovery, Syngenta
The Challenge
This challenge focused on identifying new methodologies to allow us to more quickly and efficiently determine if we had found a new mode of action for our insect trait discovery pipeline.
We knew it was a difficult challenge but were excited to see if we could apply methodologies developed for other applications or collaborate to further our research.
We received an encouraging number of submissions, and are continuing to research solutions to this challenge.
Moving forward
This challenge is now closed.
