The Somascan® Assay: Biomarker discovery to delivery
ABSTRACT
The SomaScan® Assay is a proteomic platform that uses single-stranded DNA engineered with aromatic hydrocarbon side chains for binding to protein targets. The SomaScan Assay has been used to identify signals as surrogates for clinical outcomes, discover proteins associated with disease states, and correlate protein measurements with genetic variants.

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.
