Presents Practical Applications of Mass Spectrometry for Protein Analysis and Covers Their Impact on Accelerating Drug Discovery and Development

Protein biotherapeutics has become a large portion of drug candidates and newly developed drugs aimed at conquering unmet medical needs. In recent years protein biotherapeutics have become an essential part of medical treatments for cancers and autoimmune diseases. Protein Analysis using Mass Spectrometry: Accelerating Protein Biotherapeutics from Lab to Patient describes the practical applications of mass spectrometry for protein analysis as well as their impact on accelerating drug discovery and development.

Analytical sciences used to develop technologies and methodologies to probe unknown systems quantitatively and qualitatively are one of essential components for delivering effective protein biotherapeutics. As protein molecules continue to be linked to diseases there is an increased opportunity for developing protein biotherapeutics to treat these diseases. The book brings together the most current advances in mass spectrometry technologies and related methods in order to accomplish this.

Doctors and nurses, lab managers, lab technicians, and pharmaceutical researches from academia and industry as well as researchers and developers will find this reference a useful tool in their research.
