Using proteomics to advance understanding of Alzheimer’s disease
Using 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.
You’ll learn how mass spectrometry-based proteomics provides insights into brain changes and assists biomarker discovery in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma, and discover the potential of affinity-based proteomics for reliable biomarker identification. Our expert speaker will delve into intricate networks like proteostasis and the matrisome, highlighting their implications for therapeutic development.
Attend this webinar to:
- Gain insights into the landscape of AD brain changes using unbiased mass spectrometry-based proteomics
- Learn about biomarker discovery in AD cerebrospinal fluid and plasma through multi-platform proteomic analysis
- Understand the potential of affinity-based proteomics, including modified aptamer technology, in identifying reliable biomarkers for AD
- Explore the intricate networks associated with AD pathology and their implications for therapeutic development

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.
