The results of a major study were published recently in Science Translational Medicine (STM), which suggest that quantifying a combination of blood proteins can distinguish between benign lung nodules and early-stage lung cancer with high probability.
In this webinar hosted by Caprion Proteomics, learn about the details of the candidate identification, assay development, testing and results, beginning with the derivation of the initial list of candidates, to the identification of the five blood-based proteins, which together constitute the biomarker panel used in the commercial protein expression test, developed in collaboration with Integrated Diagnostics (InDi).
Specific topics covered by the speaker will include the use of Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM or SRM) technology as a critical factor in the successful development of a multi-protein classifier panel, as well as the various strategies used to ensure disease specificity and relevance in the final panel.
Speaker
Daniel Chelsky, Chief Scientific Officer, Caprion Proteomics
Dan brings to Caprion Proteomics deep industrial experience in applying the CellCarta® proteomics platform to drug target and biomarker discovery. Prior to joining Caprion, Dan was President and General Manager of BioSignal Packard Inc. (a division of Perkin Elmer), where he oversaw development of novel technologies and reagents for drug discovery and genomics research, including the AlphaScreenTM and BRET2TM technologies and product lines. During his tenure at Pharmacopeia as Senior Director of Biology, Dan’s team identified a number of lead compounds from their in-house million member combinatorial chemistry libraries, resulting in multiple compounds in the clinic. Dan’s previous experience also includes positions at Onyx Pharmaceuticals and the DuPont Merck Pharmaceutical Company in cancer research.
Dan received a B.Sc. from UC Santa Barbara, his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Oregon Institute of Molecular Biology and was an American Cancer Society fellow at UC Berkeley.
