March 2021
This month, our cover feature explores the proteomics battlegrounds in the fight against COVID-19 and provides expert insight on some of the developments we can expect in the future. We also get an inside view on the hunt for life on Mars – more specifically, the analysis of sulfates in Martian soil – and Michael Kurczy and Alison Hulme discuss their forays into the field of subcellular drug imaging. Elsewhere, we hear about the importance of ethics in clinical proteomics, Isabelle Kohler shares her thoughts on role models in academia, and we sit down with Davy Guillarme to talk about his work using HPLC for pharmaceutical applications.
