Scientists Perceptions On Proteomics: A Study Of Protein Research Trends Launched

Preliminary findings of BioInformatics, LLCs latest market research study, The Tools & Techniques of Protein Science: Catalyzing the Future of Proteomics." The series is based on eight online surveys investigating protein scientists experiences and preferences regarding current procedures and emerging technologies in the protein research market.

ARLINGTON, VA -- November 29, 2001 -- The top two cutting-edge proteomics technologies that scientists are considering using, other than 2-D gel electrophoresis, are protein chips and liquid-phase separation techniques. Additionally, academic researchers would like life science suppliers to focus on improving current separation and detection methods that would enable them to analyze closer to 100% of the proteome. In contrast, industrial researchers are focused on the automation of all procedures in order to achieve improved reproducibility and higher throughput. These are just some of the preliminary findings of BioInformatics, LLCs latest market research study, The Tools & Techniques of Protein Science: Catalyzing the Future of Proteomics."

The series is based on eight online surveys investigating protein scientists experiences and preferences regarding current procedures and emerging technologies in the protein research market. The titles in the series include:

Protein Science Benchmarking Survey"
Protein Expression & Purification"
Protein Separation"
Protein Visualization"
Protein Identification & Characterization"
Protein Databases & Software"
Biomolecular Interactions (In Vivo Methods)"
Biomolecular Interactions (In Vitro Methods)"

Each of the final reports, available in printed and electronic form, will include aggregated information from hundreds of scientists actively engaged in protein research who participated in the series of online surveys this fall. They will detail the methods used by scientists in a specific area of protein research and offer readers a detailed statistical analysis of the responses to each surveys questions, as well as visual representations of the data. The survey responses will uncover what protein research products or techniques scientists use and how they employ them, as well as identify the top product suppliers in each market. BioInformatics has already received an overwhelming interest in The Tools & Techniques of Protein Science: Catalyzing the Future of Proteomics" from the biotechnology industry. Many companies have recognized that these reports will be vital in understanding the technology requirements of their customers in the protein science market.
