About the Author

DANIEL FIGEYS, Ph.D., is the Director of the Ottowa Institute of Systems Biology. Prior to joining the institute, Dr. Figeys was senior vice president, systems biology at MDS Proteomics and a research officer at the NRC-Canada. He did his postdoc at the Department of Molecular Biotechnology in Seattle with Dr. R. Aebersold.

Reviews

"...very well written and cover[s] a wide range of methods." (The Quarterly Review of Biology, September 2005) "...an excellent text that provides an overview of a number of industrial applications...is useful to anyone involved with proteomics based research." (Clinical Biochemistry, August 2005)
