Unique public-private research partnership leads world in determining 3-d structure of proteins related to human disease

Structural Genomics Consortium reaches project milestone ahead of schedule 

2 March 2007, Toronto – The Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC), an international research effort set up in 2004 to determine the three-dimensional structures of proteins relevant to human disease, today posted its 375th protein structure in the public domain.  The SGC, which is the largest international research project ever directed from Canada, operates from laboratories at University of Toronto, University of Oxford, and Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm.  All three sites have achieved their output goals ahead of schedule.
