Preface Over the past two decades, tremendous progress has been made in the field of proteomics, the purpose of which is to find systemic differences in protein populations. Once established, measurable protein markers can then help to define biological mechanism, disease, identify therapeutic targets, and offer better precision for personalized medical interventions. Proteomics, like other “omics” analyses, is data driven and can generate unbiased protein profiles for a variety of end points that can contrast, for example, treated vs. untreated cell models or healthy vs. diseased tissue; it has provided us with more in-depth understanding of many biological systems and diseases. This progress in the field of proteomics parallels with th
