Is massive scale proteomics causing a paradigm shift in biomarker discovery?
ABSTRACT
In this 45-minute talk, Dr. Stefánsson will discuss the largest population proteomics study ever performed to help provide more insight on disease and health outcomes. This collaborative research assembled expertise from deCODE Genetics and SomaLogic to combine the study of genetic and protein diversity to characterize disease biomarkers in the human population. The data from this type of proteomic study will inform drug discovery and development as well as improvements in health management. You will learn about:
- The high-throughput technologies that made this study possible
- The application of population proteomics in diagnosis and management of common and rare diseases

WebinarMore than the sum of its parts: How harmonized proteomic data reveals meaning across disparate clinical cohorts
Proteomics data generated across sites, time points, and workflows can be difficult to compare using standard normalization alone. This webinar shows how harmonization aligns datasets into a shared biological framework and reveals signals across studies and cohorts, highlighted through the GNPC’s analysis of 40,000 patient samples.
WebinarRethinking Neurodegeneration Through Blood-Based Biomarkers
Proteomics is reshaping how we predict, diagnose, and understand neurodegenerative diseases. In this roundtable, leading experts Tony Wyss-Coray, PhD, and Jacob Vogel, PhD, explore the power of blood-based biomarkers, from deep molecular studies to global-scale datasets using the SomaScan™ Assay. They discuss how protein signatures can reveal brain aging, predict dementia, and track changes in disease pathways over time, with moderation by Steve Williams, MD, PhD. Learn how cutting-edge proteomics is redefining what is possible in neurological research.
WebinarProteomics in Clinical Trials: Lessons from Semaglutide Treatment in Individuals with Obesity
Advancements in proteomic profiling have opened new avenues for understanding the complex mechanisms underlying obesity and its comorbidities. By measuring thousands of proteins at once, researchers gain a comprehensive view of an individual’s metabolic health, revealing subclinical processes and pinpointing potential therapeutic targets.
