Predicting heart failure using the plasma proteome
ABSTRACT
To determine whether the plasma proteome adds value to established predictors in heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). We sought to derive and validate a plasma proteomic risk score (PRS) for survival in patients with HFrEF (HFrEF-PRS).
Until recently, proteomics had not been as thoroughly explored partly due to comparatively low-throughput. However, emerging proteomic technologies have recently matured and newer high-throughput techniques now allow larger scale proteomic characterization. One of these newer technological innovations, enhanced aptamer-based assays, has enabled a massively expanded candidate approach that borders on true proteomics in scale; thousands of protein-derived factors can be efficiently assayed simultaneously in a small biologic sample. In this webinar, you will explore this new large-scale protein array using an established HF patient registry to understand how the plasma proteome could meaningfully predict the risk of death or HF worsening and add to best conventional risk stratification, including clinical score and natriuretic peptides. By using the circulating proteome to improve risk prediction, it could add a new tool to help manage patients with HF and contribute to discovery of novel HF markers and pathways.

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.
