Dysregulated cell signalling is a major driver of complex disease, and mass spectrometry has enabled the global and unbiased analysis of signalling (‘phosphoproteomics') for over a decade. Our high-throughput phosphoproteomics technology (‘EasyPhos') greatly improves the reproducibility, sensitivity, and feasibility of very large phosphoproteomics studies. High-throughput phosphoproteomics has accelerated the analysis of dynamic and in vivo signalling in diverse biological fields and organisms. In this talk I will discuss progress made in recent years, highlighting the application of this technology to large-scale studies of signalling in human skeletal muscle where the unbiased analysis of phosphorylation has demonstrated the power of this technology for uncovering signalling mechanisms driving fundamental biology. I will demonstrate through examples approaches we are developing to uncover and annotate functional signalling in a global and unbiased manner, and how these approaches are applicable to a broad range of cellular contexts and diseases.
