Oct 26 - SomaLogic Presentation

SomaLogic Platform New system for protein biomarker discovery and validation
Dr John Wilkins - Manitoba Centre for Proteomics & Systems Biology

2:00 – 3:00 
CCMB Lecture Theatre
SOMAscan employs Somamers (Slow Off-rate Modified aptamers) in a pool for simultaneous relative quantitation of 1310 protein analytes from a single 65μL sample. SomaLogic is useful for sequential analysis of patient derived materials including plasma, serum, cell and tissue lysates and supernatants. Potential assay applications include biomarker identification, predicting response to therapy, interrogation of basic biological processes in vitro and vivo.
