Glucose metabolism disturbances, particularly type 2 diabetes (T2D), are significant risk factors for cardiovascular disease. However, the biomarkers for atherosclerosis development in patients with T2D or prediabetes remain largely unexplored.
In this webinar, cardiovascular expert Prof. Karol Kaminski, MD, PhD, will present a study that contributes to closing this gap in research. This study identified proteomic biomarkers in individuals with untreated glucose metabolism disturbances who are not diagnosed with diabetes, chronic inflammatory, neoplastic, or cardiovascular disease.
Using an innovative high-throughput proteomic analysis method, which measures approximately 1,000 abundance proteins in plasma across a wide range of biological pathways, numerous proteins have been identified that distinguish healthy controls from those with prediabetes and T2D.
Join this webinar to gain insights into how specific proteins can indicate more severe metabolic disorders and provide a better understanding of the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease in diabetic patients.

Professor Karol Kamiński, MD, PhD, is a distinguished cardiologist and full professor at the Medical University of Białystok in Poland. He serves as the Head of the Department of Cardiology and Internal Medicine, which includes the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit.
After studies that included attachments at Harvard Medical School, Heidelberg University, St. Thomas’ School of Medicine in London and St. George’s School of Medicine in London, he graduated from the Medical University of Białystok in 1999.
He had research fellowships in experimental cardiology in Harvard Medical School and Hannover Medical School. He has been the Fellow of the European Society of Cardiology, recipient of multiple awards from the Polish Society of Cardiology, European Society of Cardiology, Ministry of Health and Rector of the Medical University of Bialystok.
Professor Kamiński is the recipient of Ministry of Science scholarship postgraduate course in science, commercialization and innovation at Stanford University. He is the Vice-Rector of the Medical University of Bialystok and is the co-author of papers published in renowned international journals, including Cell, Circulation, FASEB, International Journal of Cardiology and European Journal of Heart Failure. He is the PI of a general population-based cohort study Bialystok PLUS.
