Beckman Coulter Life Sciences Webinar Zeroes in on Proteome-Centric Precision Medicine
Yorba Linda, CA (PRWEB) May 31, 2016 -- Precision medicine, an approach to healthcare that considers individuals’ genetic characteristics and the physical and behavioral worlds in which they live, functions best when personalized medicine and precision therapy work in sync. In personalized medicine, diagnosing an individual’s disease depends on accurately assessing his or her complex health and pathological status. Precision therapy effectively treats the individual’s specific disease, targeting for the correct pathological pathways.
An underlying premise from which to proceed is that an individual’s baseline proteome reflects his or her past and present, and will dictate the person’s future health and disease. Hence, the crux of precision medicine will be the identification and precise quantification of proteins and their modified forms.
Beckman Coulter Life Sciences, as part of the Beckman Coulter Webinar Series, is sponsoring a new, free educational webinar, “Proteome centric precision medicine: embracing pathological diversity,” which will discuss data that supports the theory that an individual’s baseline proteome dictates the manifestation of his or her disease, its progression, and the person’s response to therapy. This concept has driven decision-making processes around new drug trials that consider altered pathological proteomes.
The speaker is Jennifer Van Eyk, PhD, Director, Advanced Clinical Biosystems Research Institute and Director of the Basic Science Research of the Barbra Streisand Woman’s Heart Center. Dr. Van Eyk notes this work has led the researchers to consider the need for continuous patent-centric biomarker analysis at the population level. More detailed information is found on the LabRoots webpage for this event.
The free webinar, hosted by LabRoots, will be presented on June 30, 2016, at 7:30 am PT/10:30 am ET.
