What if we could deliver the right treatment at the right time, to the right person to better, more effectively treat complex disease? This is the promise of precision medicine, to be able to approach complex disease treatment and prevention by taking into account individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle for each person. Many of today’s medical treatments have been designed for the masses while the promise of precision medicine is to build treatments that are constructed around specific disease and individual characteristics. As the promise of precision medicine continues to evolve, researchers will need powerful tools to perform the Omics research that creates the scientific foundation of precision medicine. SCIEX industrialized proteomics solutions, using SWATH® Acquisition-based workflows and powered by the cloud with the OneOmics™ Project, will enable large-scale proteome studies on a scale unachievable by other methods.
The SCIEX Clinical Proteomics workshop features a special presentation from Professor Jennifer Van Eyk (Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, CA, USA), entitled “Industrialization: creating proteomic scalability to impact science” and updates from Dr. Christie Hunter (Director of Global Technical Marketing, SCIEX USA) and Dr. James Broadbent (Field Application Specialist, SCIEX ANZ) on the latest developments in SCIEX mass spectrometry and related technologies that bring us closer to the era of precision medicine.
