Abstract

Healthcare systems today are undergoing major restructuring. From the patient’s perspective, expectations focusing on high quality treatments for most common diseases – such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, and others – have gone unmet in most countries throughout the world. Today, a number of protein expression and analysis platforms is available, which can generate large-scale maps of proteins related to healthy and diseased states. These mass spectrometry-based technologies are used on a daily basis by thousands of research laboratories around the world. The major interest is focused on discovery and validation of novel biomarkers in various diseases, as well as on targeted proteomics where quantification of multiple protein biomarkers is achieved. We present these technological developments in relation to disease diagnosis and treatment and provide two examples where significant progress has been made.
