As a result, there is a knowledge gap between scientists, who devise proteomic techniques and collect the data, and the oncologic researchers, who are expected to interpret and apply proteomic data. Bridging the gap between proteomics and oncology research, this book explains how proteomic technology can be used to address some of the most important questions in cancer research.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eProteomic Applications in Cancer Detection and Discovery\u003c\/i\u003e enables readers to understand how proteomic data is acquired and analyzed and how it is interpreted. Author Timothy Veenstra has filled the book with examples—many based on his own firsthand research experience—that clearly demonstrate the application of proteomic technology in oncology research, including the discovery of novel biomarkers for different types of cancers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book begins with a brief introduction to systems biology, explaining why cancer is a systems biology disease.

VEENSTRA, PhD,\u003c\/b\u003e is Director of the Laboratory of Proteomics and Analytical Technologies at the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research. Dr. Veenstra and his lab group develop and apply chromatography and mass spectrometry approaches to characterize protein complexes and the role of post-translational modifications in these complexes. Additionally, they use high-throughput proteomic approaches for the discovery of biomarkers for disease as well as proteomic and metabolomic technology for the interrogation of clinical samples. Dr. Veenstra has coauthored more than 300 peer-reviewed publications and is the coeditor of \u003ci\u003eProteomics for Biological Discovery.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 July 2013\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780471724063\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e320\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.84\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44379876524172,"sku":"9780471724063","price":94.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780471724063.jpg?v=1780160034","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780471724063","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
