Improving clinical development productivity with high-plex proteomics
Improving clinical development productivity with high-plex proteomics
While the vast majority of approved pharmaceuticals target proteins, knowledge of the full complement of proteins that are acted on by drugs, or are potentially druggable, remains incomplete. Assessment of the human proteome is thus increasingly recognized as a priority for successful and cost-effective drug development and clinical research.
Recent remarkable advances in high-plex technology are also bringing proteomics to the fore of precision medicine applications. While increasingly appreciated as powerful tools for target discovery and validation, such high-resolution proteomics approaches can also positively impact many other aspects of the clinical development process, from early through later stages.
This webcast will describe several levers of productivity that proteomics is well-positioned to support, providing evidence for each garnered over many years of innovative collaboration with biotech and pharma. Positive impacts on decision-making that affect economic considerations and ultimate trial success will also be highlighted.
Learn about:
- Applying proteomics in clinical development and strengths of a high-plex aptamer-based platform
- Statistical and machine learning approaches to protein models that reflect clinical phenotypes
- How proteomics applications can move biotech and pharma productivity levers toward improving success rates
