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.

WebinarScaling Proteomics: Balancing Performance and Measuring Enough Proteins
As proteomics platforms have advanced, the number of proteins measured and sample throughput have dramatically increased. However, have sacrifices or trade-offs been necessary to make these gains? To find out, Stephen Williams will analyze how the performance of proteomics platforms has changed over time, comparing precision, sensitivity and specificity as throughput increases.
WebinarFrom discovery to clinical insights – the power of integrating proteomics and genomics data

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.
