Clinical Proteomics - Methods and Protocols

This detailed volume explores techniques in clinical proteomics, an emerging discipline aimed at deciphering the molecular mechanisms underlying the progression of diseases and at identifying new biomarkers and therapeutic targets to expand the physicians’ toolbox for precision medicine-based patient care. From sample processing to multi-omics approaches, the book provides straight-forward protocols on a wide array of vital areas of study. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Clinical Proteomics: Methods and Protocols serves as an ideal guide for researchers working to expand upon the knowledge base needed to push forward toward a more personalized version of medicine.
