proteomisten
Proteomisten are scientists who study the proteome, the complete set of proteins expressed by a cell, tissue, or organism under specific conditions. Proteomics, the discipline they work in, aims to identify, quantify, and characterize proteins, their modifications, structures, interactions, and dynamics. Proteomisten seek to understand biological systems and disease processes at the level of proteins.
Core methods used by proteomisten include mass spectrometry–based proteomics, such as LC-MS/MS and MALDI-TOF, as well
Applications of proteomics include biomarker discovery, pharmacoproteomics, and clinical proteomics, contributing to drug development, precision medicine,
Education and work environments for proteomisten typically span biochemistry, molecular biology, analytical chemistry, and computational biology.
