What if we could understand and then treat diseases on an individualized level, in a way that was tuned to a person’s individual biology? Not in a futuristic, ‘wave a high-tech scanner across a person’s body’ way, but in a legitimate ’I can run a lab test and know the best action to take’ way. This is the promise of Precision Medicine, to deliver the right treatment to the right patient, at the right time, predicting more accurately which treatments will work for certain groups of patients, in contrast to the pervasive one-size-fits-all approach. More specifically, if we could provide a comprehensive report at the molecular level of an individual (based on genome, proteome, or metabolome profiles), a physician could be much better informed to make optimal treatment decisions. And if we could track these profiles over time, a person could adjust their lifestyle to focus on long-term wellness.

A rising star in food allergen research: proteomics of shellfish allergen
It’s important to know what you’re eating, especially if you suffer from a food allergy.
About 220 million people worldwide live with a food allergy.1 These numbers, along with the complexity and severity of conditions, continue to rise. In America, there are about 32 million food allergy sufferers—5.6 million of those are children under the age of 18.2.2 That’s 1 out of every 13 children, or about 2 in every classroom. From a financial perspective, the cost of food allergy childcare for US families is up to $25 billion

“Bottoms Up” Proteomics
Ahhhh beer. It's a ubiquitous drink found in over 90% of all countries around the world. Since the dawn of civilization, man has celebrated with beer where it can make even the most introverted person suddenly dance a little jig or belt out a top 40 song. But other...
The Ultimate Selectivity for Peptide and Protein Quantitation
There’s no doubt about it, biopharma drug development is experiencing phenomenal growth and presents a variety of challenges not experienced in small molecule development. Some of these challenges are in the selective and sensitive quantitation of peptides and...
Multi-Laboratory Study Highlights the Quantitative Reproducibility of SWATH Acquisition (Nature Communications Paper)
Reproducibility is one of the key tenets of the scientific method. But in a recent survey published in Nature, more than 70% of researchers were not able to reproduce another scientist’s experiments, and more than half could not reproduce their own experiments1. While the reasons for this are many, at least some of them stem from issues inherent in data collection.
SCIEX Lands HUPO Science and Technology Award
We are pleased to congratulate its research scientists Stephen Tate and Ron Bonner (retired) for being awarded this year’s Science and Technology award at HUPO 2017 in Dublin Ireland. The Science and Technology Award at HUPO recognizes an individual or team who were key in the commercialization of a technology, product, or procedure that advances proteomics research
Happy Birthday to SWATH Acquisition! 5 Years of Innovation
With its introduction at the HUPO World Congress in 2010 in Sydney Australia by Ruedi Aebersold, SWATH® Acquisition instantly intrigued scientists around the world. Here was a new technique with the potential to revolutionize the way proteomics studies were performed! Based on a data independent acquisition strategy using a SCIEX TripleTOF® 5600 system, SWATH was able to consistently identify and quantify at least as many peptides and proteins as other far more mature proteomics strategies on the market, but with quantitative accuracy and reproducibility rivaling gold standard MRM experiments! This solution was made broadly available to researchers with a full launch of SWATH Acquisition in the Analyst® TF 1.6 Software on the TripleTOF 5600+ System at ASMS 2012 in Vancouver (A Mine of Quantitative Proteomic Information. Prof Dr. Ruedi Aebersold, Head of the Department of Biology, ETH Zurich).
