‘Are we there yet?’ Single-cell proteomics in a core lab environment

Ben Orsburn (left) is an Assistant Professor at the University of Pittsburgh (PA, USA) in the Organ Pathobiology and Therapeutics Institute. Ben is a mass spectrometrist whose work revolves around establishing single-cell proteomics (SCP) as a robust and approachable toolbox for exploring a broad range of pathology- and pharmacology-related issues. In this interview, we learn more about the techniques available to conduct SCP and the challenges associated with this field of research. Additionally, we gain an insight into the session he led this week at the 2025 ABRF Annual Meeting (23–26 March; NV, USA). Please tell me about the session...
