Proteomics

Proteomics is the large-scale study of  proteins particularly their structures and functions. Proteins are vital parts of living organisms, as they are the main components of the physiological  metabolic pathways of cells. The field of proteomics is particularly important because most diseases are manifested at the level of protein activity.

The areas of proteomics study are Personalized medicine, Biomarker discovery, Drug discovery and development, Systems biology, Agriculture, Food science, Paleoproteomics, Astrobiology.
