Professor K. K. Jain is a neurologist/neurosurgeon by training and has been working inthe biotechnology/biopharmaceuticals industry for several years. He received graduatetraining in both Europe and USA, has held academic positions in several countries, and isa Fellow of the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Medicine of the Royal College of Physicians of UK. Currently, he is a consultant and CEO at Jain PharmaBiotech.Prof. Jain is the author of 440 publications including 21 books (4 as editor) and 50 specialreports which have covered important areas in biotechnology, gene therapy and biopharmaceuticals. He has also written a textbook of gene therapy which is the first book on this subject to be translated into the Chinese language. A book on gene therapy companies was published in 2000 by John Wiley & Sons. Both of these are now incorporated in a special report on gene therapy published in 2004 by JainPharmaBiotech with the latest edition in 2011. His latest books include "Handbook of Nanomedicine" (Humana/Springer 2008; Chinese edition, Peking University Press 2011,2
nd
ed Springer 2012), Textbook of Personalized Medicine (Springer 2009), "Handbook of Biomarkers" (Springer 2010), "Handbook of Neuroprotection" (Springer 2011),
“Applications of Biotechnology in Cardiovascular Therapeutics” (Springer 2011)
, and
“Applications of Biotechnology in Neurology” (Springer 2012).

 The proteomics report started as an expansion of the chapter on proteomics in Prof.Jain's report on "The Impact of Genomics on Drug Discovery and Development"published by Decision Resources Inc in 1999 and has been constantly updated since itspublication as a separate report in 2000 by Jain PharmaBiotech. It has been rewrittenseveral times since then.
