Q5: Last question: could you share one of your favorite memories about Atlas Antibodies?

Mikael: Of course, one of my favorite memories is from when Atlas Antibodies took part in the 2016 American Society of Cell Biology Meeting in San Francisco.

The Human Protein Atlas launched the Cell Atlas at the meeting. The Cell Atlas contains high-resolution images of more than 12,000 human proteins characterized on a subcellular level using fluorescent confocal microscopy. At the same time, Atlas Antibodies launched their new ICC-IF platform, enabling high throughput validation of subcellular staining distribution of their ICC-recommended products. The platform was based on work that I had recently carried out. That is a great company memory of mine.

Thank you, Mikael we appreciate you taking the time to share your story.
