What:
Personalized Medicine: The Need for Precise Protein Quantification and Identification
-
When:
Tuesday, April 18 from 11:00 - 12:00 p.m. EST

Why:
In this webinar, Dr. Van Eyk will discuss how the ability to accurately identify and quantify small changes in low abundant proteins is enabling healthcare professionals to better understand how patient heterogeneity influences disease development and treatment outcomes. The webinar will also discuss the use of Quanterix digital health solution, Simoa. Operating at a sensitivity up to 1,000 times greater than traditional ELISA technologies, the Simoa HD-1 Analyzer can identify these crucial biomarkers, even at trace concentrations, with extremely high precision. This is enabling the early detection of diseases across a variety of therapeutic areas, including neurology, cardiology, oncology, infection disease and inflammation.
Were honored to have Dr. Van Eyk share her insights and experiences with our colleagues, customers and partners, said Kevin Hrusovsky, CEO and Executive Chairman, Quanterix. Her extensive work and accomplishments in the field of personalized medicine have greatly enhanced our understanding of the role protein expression profiles play in disease progression and prognosis. Having Simoa involved in her work makes us very proud, and were looking forward to an informative and engaging discussion.
