Summary

Explore how ultra-sensitive proteomics is transforming biomarker discovery beyond traditional blood-based analyses.

The presentation will showcase how NULISA® technology and the ARGO™ HT System enable high-plex, ultra-sensitive protein detection across a wide range of novel and minimally invasive sample types, including dried blood and plasma spots.

The featured speaker, Dr. Niyati Jhaveri, Manager of the Technology Access Program at Alamar Biosciences, will discuss real-world translational and preclinical examples demonstrating how multiplexed proteomics can uncover disease-specific biology, assess therapeutic response and support scalable population-level research.

Join this webinar to learn how ultra-sensitive proteomic profiling from minimally invasive samples is reshaping disease biology and treatment insights across immunology, neuroscience and translational research.

Attendees will:

  • Discover how ultra-sensitive proteomics are expanding beyond blood to generate insights from low-volume and non-traditional sample types, including dried blood spots
  • Learn how NULISA technology delivers high-quality, multiplexed protein data from minimally invasive samples, enabling scalable studies without sacrificing sensitivity
  • Explore real-world examples showing how advanced proteomic profiling reveals disease biology and treatment effects across immunology, neurosciences and translational research

 

Steve Williams, MD, PhD

CSO

Dr. Willams serves as the company’s Chief Scientific Officer. He was previously Chief Medical Officer at Standard Biotools and at SomaLogic where he pioneered the discipline for discovery and validation of predictive, diagnostic and prognostic models using machine-learning applied to large-plex proteomics. 20 such tests were used for drug characterization, safety and efficacy when incorporated in clinical drug trials at Pharma/Biotech and 17 different multivariate tests were validated and translated into regulated healthcare uses. Prior to SomaLogic, Dr. Williams was at Pfizer in the UK and the USA as a clinical triallist in Translational Medicine, and subsequently as VP, Global Clinical Technology. He sat on the National Advisory Council for the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, the Executive Committee for the FNIH Biomarkers Consortium, and worked with FDA and PhRMA on developing evidentiary standards for biomarker qualification. Dr. William’s medical training was in London, at Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School, followed by a PhD in medicine/physiology at the same institution and training in Radiology at the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne. Steve is co-inventor on 26 proteomics patents and author/coauthor on multiple foundational proteomics manuscripts.

Justin McAnear

CFO

Mr. McAnear serves as the company’s Chief Financial Officer. He brings over 25 years of operational and financial leadership experience across various sectors and was instrumental in taking 10x Genomics public in 2019, serving as its CFO for over five years.
