This opens a new way toward understanding of physiological and pathological pr molecular level. Employing proteomic approaches (based on effective protein and peptide separation methods spectrometry) our team attempts to describe molecular mechanisms of human diseases and ide diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers. ****************************************************************************************** * Current Projects ****************************************************************************************** - Proteomic analysis of myocardial changes in heart failure - Proteomic analysis of the development of drug resistance in tumors - Identification of biomarkers of major diseases - Development of new methods for the analysis of transmembrane proteins ****************************************************************************************** * Partners ****************************************************************************************** - IKEM - Prague Institute of Hematology and BloodTransfusion - Prague 2 LF UK - Prague Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institutes of Child Health and Human Development - USA ThermoFisherScientific ****************************************************************************************** * Most Significant Recent Publications ****************************************************************************************** - Lorkova L, Scigelova M, Arrey TN, Vit O, Pospisilova J, Doktorova E, Klanova M, Alam M, Maswabi B, Klener P Jr, Petrak J.: Detailed Functional and Proteomic Characterization of F Resistance in Mantle Cell Lymphoma Cells.
