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.

"...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)
