Abstract

Proteomics of human body fluids for pharmaceutical applications covers a broad spectrum of technologies. A major challenge is the integration of data from various omics technologies: proteomics, genomics, and metabolomics. Applications relevant to the pharmaceutical industry include diagnostics, drug discovery, and drug development. Special features of these applications are that they are done on a large commercial scale. Currently, sample volumes require large-scale separation prior to analysis by mass spectrometry. Several new technologies, particularly those on the nanoscale, are refining this process and reducing the volume of samples required as well as expense. Refinements of technologies for fluid proteomics, including microfluidics and nanobiotechnology, for detection of biomarkers have applications in clinical diagnostics as well as drug discovery. Analysis of body fluids by metabolomic technologies may uncover biomarkers of drug toxicity that may help in avoiding clinical trials for such drugs, which are then discontinued after considerable expense. Finally, by facilitating the integration of diagnostics with therapeutics, these technologies will allow the development of personalized medicine.
