A multiomic approach to prediction, causation, and prevention of preterm birth and preeclampsia
A multiomic approach to prediction, causation, and prevention of preterm birth and preeclampsia
Recent advances in both genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics have allowed for the development of novel technologies with greater capabilities for biomarker profiling and discovery. When coupled with high-content data analysis, these multiomic approaches have allowed researchers to generate high-efficiency data to enable new correlations and insights between the genome, transcriptome, and proteome at a molecular level in health and disease. For example, an area of unmet need where multiomics is poised to impact significantly is pregnancy-related complications, such as preterm birth and preeclampsia. A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of feto-maternal changes during pregnancy could help save lives and improve birthing processes.
Our distinguished presenters — members of the Gaudillière lab at Stanford University — describe how they employed a translational approach that combines single-cell mass cytometry with high-plex proteomic and metabolomic analyses to study the role of the human immune system in the pathobiology of fundamental clinical problems, including pregnancy pathologies. The presenters also explain how they used novel machine-learning methods to train multiomic models and identify biologically relevant predictive biomarkers to develop robust diagnostics rooted in a precise understanding of underlying pathobiological mechanisms.

WebinarOpening the black box: Building and evaluating machine learning models for proteomics
Machine learning can be a powerful way to extract multivariate signals from high-dimensional proteomics data, but only when models are built and evaluated with rigor. In this on-demand webinar, explore a practical framework for developing predictive and explanatory models, with an emphasis on study design choices that help prevent data leakage, reduce overfitting, and improve reproducibility.
WebinarBeyond the trees: See the bigger biological picture with pathway enrichment analysis
Proteomic data holds enormous potential—but the biology is rarely contained in a single protein. When you’re handed a list of differentially abundant proteins, the next challenge is turning that list into a clear, testable story about mechanisms and processes.
WebinarFinding the signal: Identifying reproducible biomarkers in high-plex proteomics
In biomarker discovery, the challenge is rarely a lack of data. Rather, it is knowing how to separate meaningful biological signal from technical distraction. This webinar focuses on how to use univariate analysis as a practical and powerful entry point for biomarker discovery in high-plex proteomics studies.
