Abstract

Mass spectrometry-based diagnostics has the potential to revolutionize molecular medicine. Using modern mass-spectrometer technologies, clinical tests can be developed that are practical, robust, accurate, and inexpensive. Serum proteomic pattern profiling couples mass spectrometry with adaptive artificial-intelligence-based bioinformatics, which can now be employed to detect pathological states reflected in the serum proteome. With this approach, rapid and cost-effective tests with exquisite clinical sensitivity and specificity are emerging. These tools may dramatically change how disease is detected, monitored, and managed.
