Neil Kelleher: The Human Proteoform Project Could Transform Healthcare

1. Proteomics holds the potential to revolutionize healthcare, enhance precision medicine, and predict and prevent diseases. 2. A structured, standardized approach to defining proteoforms through the Human Proteoform Project is crucial. 3. High-resolution reference proteomes are essential to enable next-gen proteomics. 4. Neil Kelleher envisions a future where proteomics technologies are fully integrated into healthcare systems, impacting early-stage R&D and drug development. 5. The lack of interest from major stakeholders is a primary hurdle in turning the blue-sky vision of proteomics into reality.
