The Somascan® Assay: biomarker discovery to delivery
Watch the webinar now
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.

WebinarAccelerating precision medicine of cancer with SomaScan® proteomics
Proteomics has emerged as the next frontier in precision medicine, and several innovative proteomics platforms have been developed to drive biomarker discovery. We [at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center] are using the currently most comprehensive proteomics technology -- the SomaScan Platform, which measures 7,000 proteins -- to discover and independently validate diagnostic, predictive, and prognostic biomarkers for various cancers.
WebinarImproving clinical development productivity with high-plex proteomics
While the vast majority of approved pharmaceuticals target proteins, knowledge of the full complement of proteins that are acted on by drugs, or are potentially druggable, remains incomplete. Assessment of the human proteome is thus increasingly recognized as a priority for successful and cost-effective drug development and clinical research.
