title: Report of the roundtable discussion organised by the Swiss Proteomics Society (SPS), Bern, 8th December 2004.
abstract: How close are we to using proteomics tools in the every day practice of physicians? What are the socio-economical issues our health care system may face with the advent of biomarkers for early diagnosis? How to get the specialists from the various disciplines integrated in proteomics to establish a common understanding of the clinical issues and develop the necessary standards (methods, biochemicals and IT)? These were the kind of questions a panel of specialists tried to answer during the roundtable discussion that took place in Bern during the Swiss Proteomics Society 2004 congress.
