MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
This volume explores the use of mass spectrometry for biomedical applications. Chapters focus on specific therapeutic areas such as oncology, infectious disease and psychiatry. Additional chapters focus on methodology as well as new technologies and instrumentation. This volume provides readers with a comprehensive and informative manual that will allow them to appreciate mass spectrometry and proteomic research but also to initiate and improve their own work. Thus the book acts as a technical guide but also a conceptual guide to the newest information in this exciting field.
Mass spectrometry is the central tool used in proteomic research today and is rapidly becoming indispensable to the biomedical scientist. With the completion of the human genome project and the genomic revolution, the proteomic revolution has followed closely behind. Understanding the human proteome has become critical to basic and clinical biomedical research and holds the promise of providing comprehensive understanding of human physiological processes. In addition, proteomics and mass spectrometry are bringing unprecedented biomarker discovery and are helping to personalize medicine.
Feature:
Covers therapeutic fields utilizing mass spectrometry and proteomic discovery, including the newest field, psychiatry
Discusses the most recent proteomic methodology as well as innovative approaches to protein separation that increase the power of this technique
Describes how researchers unfamiliar with mass spectrometry may partner with proteomic scientists most optimally to enhance their own work
