Serum Proteomics

Serum proteomics is a branch of biochemistry that studies the proteins present in blood serum (the fluid component of blood). It is used to diagnose and monitor diseases, such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases, and to understand the molecular basis of various diseases. It is also used as an aid to drug discovery, as proteins involved in an illness can be targeted and drugs designed to act on them. Serum proteomics also provides insights into the mechanisms underlying the body's natural responses to pathogens and stress. It is an important tool for providing precision medicine and personalized healthcare.
