Cell Signaling Technology, Inc. (CST) is a
proteomic kits, and other related reagents used to study the cell signaling
pathways that impact human health. CST maintains an in-house research program, particularly in the area of cancer research, and has published scientific papers in many peer-reviewed journals.
History
Cell Signaling Technology was founded in 1999 by scientists in the Cell Signaling group at New England Biolabs (NEB).[1]
Originally housed in the Cummings Center (
In 2013, CST moved its production group into an
ISO9001
certified facility in Beverly, Massachusetts.
Cell Signaling Technology was named as one of the “Top 100 Places to Work” in a 2009-2013 survey published by the Boston Globe.[7]
Research
In addition to product development and production, CST is also involved in the development of new technologies for signaling analysis as well as mechanistic cell biology research, particularly in the field of cancer research.
CST curates and maintains PhosphoSitePlus, a web-based bioinformatics resource that details
post-translational modifications (PTMs) in human, mouse and rat proteins. The types of PTMs curated include phosphorylation, acetylation, methylation, ubiquitylation, glycosylation, etc. This freely accessible, online resource is funded in part through grant support from the NIH, and most recently through the NIH BD2K initiative.[8][9]
