Pharma and Applied Sciences Editor
Roman Fischer, an associate professor at the University of Oxford, discusses how adopting a systematical and unbiased approach to spatial proteomics can uncover new areas and features of tumors, deepening the understanding of their proteomes. Fischer explains how the interest in single cell proteomics has acted as a technology driver for higher sensitivity and speed in spatial proteomics, and explores how 3D proteomes and machine learning could accelerate the understanding of tumor biology in the future.

ProteomicsProteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.Artificial Intelligence / Machine LearningArtificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are transformative technologies used to analyze complex data, identify patterns, and make data-driven predictions across diverse scientific fields. Automate the analysis of large or complex data sets using AI algorithms and leverage machine learning models to improve diagnostics, accelerate drug discovery, and refine experimental design.
