Dr Shantanu Sengupta and his team develop a rapid diagnostic method to detect the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 infection

  • As you are aware that in the last few months, the global catastrophic outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome disease caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 affecting millions of people worldwide. The early diagnosis and isolation are key to contain the rapid spread of the virus.
  • Towards this goal, Dr Shantanu Sengupta & team at Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (IGIB) and the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) developed a targeted mass spectrometric approach to detect peptides specific to SARS-CoV-2. This method offers more than 90% sensitivity and 100% specificity when compared to RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction) method.

About Journal

Journal of Proteins and Proteomics (JPP), administered by Proteomics Society, India (PSI), is a peer reviewed international journal envisaged to serve the world wide community of researchers and teachers dealing with the challenges of proteins and proteomics research resulting in an improved understanding of protein science in general.

JPP (ISSN No. 0975-8151) is the first "protein" centric research tabloid from India and is thus very unique. JPP publishes research articles, reviews, essays, commentaries, reports, letters, communications, teaching material, in memoriam, recollections, profiles of scientists, methodology, trends and tips, intellectual property related articles etc. with focus on Protein Science and Proteomics.

This international journal publishes issues quarterly and is re-enforced every year with one or two special issues on a relevant topic in Protein Science and Proteomics. The journal is tracked / abstracted / indexed and covered in Google Scholar, Genamics based Journal Seek, Research Bible, Indian Science Abstracts, CAP International (UK), UI Factor and Indian Science.
This journal has obtained a score of 3.75 in NAAS database and its projected impact factor is 1.0.
