Proteomics in medicine
As stated above, one of the main goals of proteomics is the identification of novel markers that can be used for prediction, prevention, diagnosis, prognosis and therapy optimization in human disease. To use proteomics in real everyday clinical practice it is necessary that the biological material where such marker would be analyzed is easily accessible (blood, urine, saliva, cerebrospinal fluid). The other way to use proteomics is mainly within the experiment, one of the emerging applications is in the field of therapeutical drug discovery and pharmacoproteomics.For example, trying to find a drug for antiobesity pharmacotherapy.
