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

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.
