OpenCell Reveals the Intracellular Life of Proteins

Manuel Leonetti, group leader in Quantitative Cell Science at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub in San Francisco, is taking the description of “proteins in the wild” a step further with his project called OpenCell.  Through advanced imaging techniques, machine learning, artificial intelligence, data science, and software engineering, OpenCell is able to measure the quantity and track the position of different proteins in human embryonic kidney cells through time and space. So far, Leonetti says, his group has mapped 1,310 different proteins, which might sound like a lot, but this represents just 7% of the human genome.
