It’s very encouraging that funders support projects like YCharOS, which does not address hypotheses, but rather does the foundational, but not sexy, work of testing and characterizing reagent antibodies in order to make everyone else’s science more robust and reproducible.

CQDM is proud to announce the funding of a collaborative research project made possible through a grant of nearly Can$1.49M from the Government of Quebec (@economie_quebec). A project of @YCharOS1 in partnership with @mcgillu.

Non-animal derived antibodies and affinity reagents are part of the solution. We are working to accelerate their uptake as alternatives to traditional antibodies that are more reproducible and replace animal use.

We are working with the OGA to raise awareness of the importance of improving reproducibility of research involving antibodies, for better science that is more efficient, reliable and reduces or replaces the use of animals.

Fantastic to see our work with the @OGA_Community
highlighted in this article. Poor antibodies waste research funding and time, delay scientific progress and drug development, and lead to unnecessary animal use where in vivo experiments or animal-derived products are involved.
Poorly performing antibodies have plagued biomedical sciences for decades. Several fresh initiatives hope to change this go.nature.com/3NYdY42

Fantastic to see this Nature feature article promoting our work with @OGA_Community and @YCharOS1.
We aim to promote a change in biomedical research culture and #openscience practices with a specific focus on antibody validation.

Thank you @DianaMKwon for the great news feature in Nature about the public good YCharOS effort
Thrilled to see our own @CarlLaflamme4 and Riham Ayoubi featured in this Nature article for their fantastic antibody characterization work!

Thank you to Rick Kahn, @eLife and all of the co-authors for this excellent overview of initiatives that have and are improving science using antibodies.
Keep up the good work everyone!
