Early detection, risk stratification, and drug target identification in pulmonary arterial hypertension with plasma proteomics
Early detection, risk stratification, and drug target identification in pulmonary arterial hypertension with plasma proteomics
Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a rare condition that is clinically heterogenous and often diagnosed late in disease progression. Plasma proteomics offers the potential to diagnose earlier, risk-stratify patients, and identify new drug targets.
Learning Objectives
- Pulmonary arterial hypertension as a clinical condition
- Applying proteomics to risk stratification
- Combining proteomics with genome-wide association studies to identify protein quantitative trait loci associated with the condition

WebinarBoutique Webinar : Predicting Pregnancy Complications with High-Plex Proteomics
The interdisciplinary team, comprising 10-15 scientists and clinician-scientists, is dedicated to advancing diagnostics and therapeutics aimed at enhancing maternal and fetal care. Their primary focus lies in the development of interventions for conditions such as ectopic pregnancy and preeclampsia, alongside the creation of diagnostics to prevent stillbirth.
