Detect biomarkers associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
Detect biomarkers associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
Abstract
In this 1-hour discussion, learn how the SomaScan® Assay can be used to detect biomarkers associated with NAFLD—specifically, the identification of circulating proteins associated with fibrosis in NAFLD using a custom 5k-plex SomaScan Assay. Also discussed is the importance of identifying non-invasive biomarkers that improve clinical decision-making and drug development for NAFLD, and the strategies for multiplexed validation of candidate biomarkers discovered using the SomaScan Assay.

WebinarUsing Antibody Profiling to Identify Novel Diagnostic Biomarkers
Current cancer screening methods often lead to false positives, false negatives and invasive biopsies that lack prognostic insights. Emerging research suggests that cancer-specific IgM and IgG antibodies – produced by B cells upon recognizing malignant cells – could serve as stable, easily measurable blood biomarkers for detecting and monitoring high-incidence cancers like melanoma and breast, prostate, bowel, lung and pancreatic cancer. This approach has the potential to improve early diagnosis, reduce uncertainty and enhance treatment planning.
