Seminar from Dr. Jinjun Shi from Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School to highlight study of proteomic perturbations resulting from a novel approach to cancer therapy revealed using Seer’s Proteograph™ Product Suite
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Feb. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Seer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SEER), a leading life sciences company commercializing a disruptive new platform for proteomics, today announced that the company will showcase new findings at the 21st Annual US Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) Conference in Philadelphia, PA, from February 22-26, 2025. As a US HUPO Conference sponsor, Seer will host a seminar highlighting novel advances in scalable deep cellular proteomics using Seer’s Proteograph™ Product Suite. The seminar will feature a case study detailing a groundbreaking new co-delivery therapeutic platform for targeting cancer vulnerabilities with siRNA and mRNA therapeutics. The first-of-its-kind study describes the simultaneous inactivation of tumorigenic drivers using siRNA while activating lost tumor suppressors using mRNA and establishes a new core strategy for treatment of a broad range of cancers. Studying the cellular proteomic changes in response to these therapies yields critical biological insights that can drive further improvements in our ability to treat cancer.
Additional presentations from Seer and collaborators will highlight the Proteograph Product Suite’s role in deep proteomic studies to understand tissue biology, uncover biomarkers for cardiometabolic dysfunction, enable advancements in mass spectrometry proteomics throughput, and leverage model organisms to advance human health.
“This year’s US HUPO Conference represents the latest in a string of recent high-profile scientific meetings where leading research institutions will display new breakthroughs enabled by Seer’s technology,” said Asim Siddiqui, Senior Vice President & Scientific Fellow at Seer. “Partnering with prominent cancer researchers like Dr. Shi demonstrates Seer’s commitment to provide deep, unbiased proteomic insights that promise to accelerate advancements in precision cancer treatments.”
Dr. Shi’s presentation accompanies Seer’s introduction earlier this year of a new workflow that allows Proteograph users to conduct deep cellular proteome analysis using the company’s existing assay and instrument. This new capability adds to a growing list of 10+ Proteograph protocols available to conduct proteomic analysis on a diverse list of sample types, including non-human plasma/serum, conditioned media, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and dried blood spots.
