Dr. Igor Stagljar
At the U of T Celebrates Innovation event on May 7, the University honoured researchers and students who created technologies and successful start-up companies that have the potential for global impact and commercial appeal.
Among the 2015 Inventors of the Year are Igor Stagljar and Julie Petschnigg, who invented Mammalian membrane two-hybrid (MaMTH), which tracks membrane proteins interactions with other proteins in human cells. This new tool could help with the development of new drugs for many illnesses, such as cancer and neurological diseases.
