Global NASH congress
ABSTRACT
Using the power of the world’s largest proteomic platform coupled with machine learning , clinical samples and known biopsy results were used to build proteomic models capable of staging steatosis, inflammation, ballooning and fibrosis, and diagnosing at-risk NASH. These models exhibit competitive performance vs. existing standard methods. Use-cases in drug development include a participant rule-out prior to biopsy and precision demonstration of pharmacodynamic mechanistic impacts on individual liver components with multiple longitudinal measurements. Combination of the liquid liver biopsy with other proteomic tests on the same platform can expand the assessment of drug impact to include changes in cardiovascular risk, insulin resistance, kidney function and body composition. This will result in smaller, faster and more comprehensive clinical trials in the future.
Highlights:
- Proteomic models capable of staging and diagnosing conditions for “at-risk” NASH
- Assessment of pharmacodynamic mechanisms over time
- Simultaneous drug impact assessment of multiple biological metrics

WebinarLinking the plasma proteome to echocardiographic parameters in patients with chronic heart failure
Recent advancements in proteomic profiling have unlocked new possibilities for understanding the complex mechanisms that drive heart failure. Measuring thousands of proteins simultaneously makes it possible to capture a comprehensive overview of the patient's health state and investigate underlying disease progression at a subclinical level.
WebinarB Cell Repertoire in Determining Responses to Checkpoint Blockade in NSCLC
In this webinar, Gary Middleton, MD, PhD, and Akshay Patel, PhD, from the University of Birmingham explore the role of the B cell repertoire and autoantibodies in shaping responses to checkpoint blockade immunotherapy in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). They demonstrate how autoantibody profiling using the i-Ome™ Discovery protein microarray revealed biomarkers predictive of treatment efficacy and immune-related adverse events (irAEs), providing insights into biomarker development and personalized immunotherapy strategies.
WebinarSerum Autoantibodies Differentiate Rheumatoid Arthritis Subgroups
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can be categorized as either anti-citrullinated protein antibody-positive (ACPA+) or negative (ACPA-). In this webinar, Dr. Sung will present his research exploring a broad range of serological autoantibodies to uncover immunological differences between these RA subgroups using data from ACPA+ RA patients, ACPA- RA patients, and matched healthy controls.
