Multinational Anglo-Swedish pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca has entered into a three-year collaboration with the newly-established Wallenberg Center for Protein Research (WCPR), it has been announced.

The partnership will focus primarily on identifying new targets for disease research in the ground-breaking area of the Secretome – all proteins that are secreted by a cell and which can provide tell-tale signs of certain diseases.

AstraZeneca’s innovative medicines biotech unit (iMED) will screen the Secretome library using the company’s proprietary assays to identify new protein-based targets for compound development across a range of disease.
