French to English translations [PRO]
Science - Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-)
French term or phrase: Infectiologie
The term is used for a field of study for a biology degree at a French university. The term is used with microbiology, virology and immunology. Perhaps it is something like study of infectious diseases. It is also used with Protéomique.

Explanation:
Infectious Diseases & Microbiology
The academic Department, based at the Hammersmith Hospital, St. Mary's and South Kensington campus sites, represents one of the leading centres for research and teaching in Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology with particular emphasis on bacterial pathogenesis, fungal disease, retrovirology and cell biology.

As for protéomique, the Grand Dictionnaire Terminologique gives the following:

protéomique n. f.
proteomics

Définition :
Nouvelle discipline issue dans la foulée de la génomique, qui regroupe les activités de recherche destinées à rassembler l\'information complète sur l\'expression des protéines des organismes dont le génome a été identifié.


Note(s) :
Le terme « protéomique » est dérivé du mot « protéome », inventé en 1994 par Mark Wilkins pour désigner le complément protéique d\'un organisme.
La recherche sur le protéome, incluant des activités de détection, de séparation, d\'analyse et d\'identification des protéines, viendra compléter et étendre la recherche portant sur le génome d\'organismes et de micro-organismes revêtant une importance particulière en médecine et en biologie.

Proteomics is the large-scale study of proteins, particularly their structures and functions. This term was coined to make an analogy with genomics, and is often viewed as the \"next step\", but proteomics is much more complicated than genomics. Most importantly, while the genome is a rather constant entity, the proteome is constantly changing through its biochemical interactions with the genome. One organism will have radically different protein expression in different parts of its body and in different stages of its life cycle.

The entirety of proteins in existence in an organism throughout its life cycle, or on a smaller scale the entirety of proteins found in a particular cell type under a particular type of stimulation, are referred to as the proteome of the organism or cell type respectively.

With completion of a rough draft of the human genome, many researchers are now looking at how genes and proteins interact to form other proteins. A surprising finding of the Human Genome Project is that there are far fewer genes that code for proteins in the human genome than there are proteins in the human proteome (~33,000 genes vs ~200,000 proteins). The large increase in protein diversity is thought to be due to post-translational modification of proteins.

To catalogue all human proteins and ascertain their functions and interactions presents a daunting challenge for scientists. An international collaboration to achieve these goals is being co-ordinated by the Human Proteome Organisation

This seems to work best although 'study of' can too. The info on proteomics is very helpful. Thanks to all.
