Editorial (Personalized Medicine in the Age of Pharmacoproteomics: A Close up on India and Need for Social Science Engagement for Responsible Innovation in Post-Proteomic Biology)

Abstract

“Because DNA sequencing technology is inherently simpler and more scalable than protein analytical technology, and because the finiteness of genomes invited a spirit of rapid conquest, the notion of genome sequencing has displaced that of protein databases in the minds of most molecular biologists for the last decade…As proteomics now takes center stage in molecular biology, it is appropriate to take stock of progress to date and consider the major strategic objectives that can be achieved during the next stages of its evolution”.
