A discussion of Alnylam's RNAi therapeutic called patiseran for identification of biomarkers associated with the knockdown of a disease-causing protein transthyretin.

A discussion with a leading multiomics researcher, Dr. Karsten Suhre of Weill Cornell Medicine in Qatar. Plenty of discussion around intermediate phenotypes, metabolomics, genomics and proteomics, and the increasing role of population health projects.

The annual American Society of Human Genetics (#ASHG22) conference was held October 25 to 29, 2022 in the Los Angeles Convention Center, and the co-hosts discuss the highlights of the conference and notable trends.

A discussion of a recent Scientific Advances paper by Katz et al comparing aptamer- and antibody-based protein detection methods using genetics and clinical traits, just in time for the American Society for Human Genetics conference (#ASHG22) in Los Angeles.

Introduction to the hosts of the Proteomics in Proximity podcast, Dale Yuzuki, Cindy Lawley and Sarantis Chlamydas, with their respective backgrounds in academia and industry.
