| | Studying the Proteome and Human Diseases using Mass Spectrometry
It is incredibly important to study the proteome to understand human diseases. There are two different ways in which looking at the proteome can be advantageous: the first is looking at diagnostics, and the second is understanding treatment options.
For example, if you have a patient who is developing a disease, often that disease will be triggered by the expression of proteins that either would not be present in the healthy state or potentially would be present in different amounts in a healthy state versus a diseased state.
By studying the proteome and looking at what proteins are present and the quantity present, we can figure out, for example, if a patient has a particular disease. That is the first huge application.
