The research interests in the clinical proteomics laboratory focus on identifying proteins involved in human disease and to understand how their expression, structure and function cause illness.
Strategically, proteomics is a very important area as it is still a relatively new science, and researchers have only scraped the surface as regards how powerful proteomics will become over the coming years.
A specific area of research focus is to identify companion biomarkers of therapeutic response and molecular mechanisms associated with drug resistance in Multiple Myeloma, in collaboration with national and international colleagues who share similar interests.
