Mayo’s John Cheville, M.D., receives Minnesota Partnership for Biotechnology and Medical Genomics infrastructure award

John Cheville, M.D. (SGPA ’95), Division of Anatomic Pathology at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, received an infrastructure award from the Minnesota Partnership of Biotechnology and Medical Genomics. His project is “Antibody Phage Display for Monoclonal Antibodies,” and is in conjunction with a researcher from the University of Minnesota.

Antibody phage display is a technique that will help scientists identify antibodies when other methods fail. The processes and support team will be available to researchers at Mayo Clinic and the university through the Minnesota Antibody Network.

Awarded projects focus on shared-use infrastructure and support the purchase or development of technology that neither Mayo Clinic nor the university could have purchased individually. The Minnesota Partnership for Biotechnology and Medical Genomics is a collaboration of the University of Minnesota, Mayo Clinic and the state of Minnesota.
