Protein chips are miniaturized devices that have the ability to detect and analyze thousands of protein interactions simultaneously. They work on the principle of microarray technology where known proteins, antibodies, or DNA are spotted onto a solid surface to create a microarray. These protein chips can be used for detecting expression levels of proteins, screening protein-protein interactions, monitoring protein modifications like phosphorylation and for prognosing diseases by identifying biomarkers. The global protein chip market is growing significantly owing to increasing applications of protein chips in various fields like drug discovery, disease diagnosis, and biomedical research.
Market Dynamics:
The protein chip market is driven by rising investments in proteomics research, growing demand for personalized medicine and increasing R&D activities in the field of drug discovery. However, the market growth can be restricted due to technical challenges associated with maintaining the stability and activity of immobilized proteins on the chip's surface. Researchers are exploring new surface chemistries and chip manufacturing techniques to overcome these challenges. The market presents opportunities for incorporation of AI and machine learning tools to analyze large proteomics datasets generated from protein chips. Adoption of multi-omic and microfluidic-based protein chips also presents significant opportunities.
