Researchers Likely To Develop Personalised Medicine Soon
Proteomics is the study of protein’s structure, function, and interactions within a cell or organism.Metabolomics is the study of the small molecules (metabolites) found in cells, tissues, and bodily fluids.
Hyderabad: Rapid advances in the study of proteomics and metabolomics will help in faster discovery of biomarkers, improving early disease detection and the development of personalised medicine.

Speaking at the 17th Annual Conference of the Proteomics Society, India (PSI-2025), held at the CSIR–Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB), scientists said cutting-edge analytical technologies are transforming healthcare, agriculture and environmental research.
Scientists noted that recent breakthroughs in high-resolution mass spectrometry, combined with advanced bioinformatics and multi-omics integration, have enabled deeper and more precise analysis of cellular pathways than ever before.
In agriculture, speakers highlighted how proteomic and metabolomic approaches are being used to understand plant stress responses, crop productivity and disease resistance, helping to design resilient and climate-adaptive farming strategies.
Dr Swasti Raychaudhuri, senior principal scientist at CCMB and a lead organiser, said the rapid evolution of these disciplines is expanding their real-world impact. “National platforms like PSI-2025 catalyse the exchange of ideas, foster collaborations and help advance the frontiers of proteomics and metabolomics in India,” she said.
