Clinical Applications of Proteomics

  • Chapter
Cancer Chemoprevention

Abstract

The field of molecular medicine is moving beyond genomics to proteomics, which is often viewed as creation of a compendium “master list” of all proteins and their possible post-translational modifications. However, the effort made to elucidate this index is not likely to be rewarded by any real clinical impact, as the function of proteins is closely tied to their cellular, tissue, and physiological context. The ultimate goal of clinical proteomics (the translational subdiscipline of the larger field) is really twofold. First, characterize information flow through protein networks—which are deranged as a cause or consequence of disease processes as they exist, not in cell culture or animal models systems, but in the tissue microenvironment of the host—and how that information content changes during therapeutic intervention; second, develop biomarker profiling technologies to detect disease earlier and treat it more effectively.
