    Learning outcomes

    Clinical proteomics is the science that aims to develop technologies for the treatment of patients through the analysis of proteomes of healthy and sick cells. This research area aimed to identify proteins that can be used as early markers in blood, urine, or tissues of cancer patients, or that may predict response to therapy or the relapse after treatment.
