Description: Danny Hills makes a case for the next frontier of cancer research: proteomics, the study of proteins in the body. As Hillis explains it, genomics shows us a list of the ingredients of the body -- while proteomics shows us what those ingredients produce. Understanding what's going on in your body at the protein level may lead to a new understanding of how cancer happens.

Danny Hillis: Understanding cancer through proteomics

Understanding cancer through proteomics

Genomics offers a parts list of the body, but proteomics reveals the dynamic processes, unlocking new cancer understanding.

Viewing 'cancering' as a verb, not a noun, shifts focus from battling symptoms to understanding systemic failures in the body.

Future cancer treatments may be tailored simulations, guiding our bodies back to health with precise, individualized interventions.
