The human genome encodes the blueprint for thousands of proteins. Proteins are the molecular workers of our cells and in their entirety (proteome) determine their identity, state and function. They allow cells to generate energy, process signals and fulfill certain biological functions. Each of the more than 100 trillion cells in the human body has a unique proteome, which is constantly changing as proteins are synthesized, degraded or biochemically modified. Changes in the proteome and cellular signaling pathways are also a hallmark of many diseases and a potential key to new therapeutic approaches. Our research focuses on the development of new technologies for the identification and quantification of proteins and their modifications in cells, biofluids and tissues from clinical samples.
