Predicting pregnancy complications with high-plex proteomics
A SomaLogic boutique 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. In this webinar, Dr. Lucy Bartho delves into the transformative role of SomaLogic’s SomaScan® assay in their biomarker discovery endeavors. She will also elaborate on how this technology has facilitated the development of clinical tools for the early identification of preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction.
Lucy Bartho, PhD
Dr. Lucy Bartho is a postdoctoral fellow from the Translational Obstetrics Group at the University of Melbourne, co-led by Professor Stephen Tong and Professor Tu’uhevaha Kaitu’u-Lino. The team of 10-15 scientists and clinician-scientists is dedicated to developing diagnostics and therapeutics aimed at enhancing the care of pregnant women and their fetuses. The research arising from the team focuses on identifying novel biomarkers for predicting pregnancy complications, developing treatments for ectopic pregnancy and preeclampsia, and elucidating the pathogenesis of these conditions.

WebinarBoutique Webinar Aptamers with protein-like side chains as a versatile tool for high-content proteomics
Proteins, encoded in 20,000 genes in humans, do much of the work in biology. Measuring proteins, which change in response to various perturbations and represent targets for almost all drugs, offers insights about the health status of an organism. Since proteins operate in complex networks rather than in isolation, measuring multiple proteins simultaneously offers richer insights compared to single protein measurements.
WebinarUsing Proteomics To Advance Understanding of Alzheimer’s Disease
Limited understanding due to its complex pathophysiology and lack of definitive biomarkers currently constrains the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). But new research is uncovering dynamic brain changes during Alzheimer’s progression, offering potential therapeutic targets. This webinar explores how proteomics and systems biology can be integrated to elucidate AD pathology.
WebinarPredictive modeling and reliable biomarker discovery in clinical omics studies
High-content omic technologies coupled machine learning methods have transformed the biomarker discovery process. However, the translation of computational results into scalable clinical biomarkers remains challenging. A rate-limiting step is the rigorous selection of reliable biomarker candidates among a host of biological features. Drawing examples from real-world clinical omics studies, I will introduce Stabl, a general machine learning framework that identifies a sparse, reliable set of biomarkers by integrating noise injection and a data-driven signal-to-noise threshold into multivariable predictive modeling.
