Using Proteomics to Advance Drug Development – Translating Proteomics Episode 14

Nautilus Biotechnology
January 9, 2025
On this episode of Translating Proteomics, co-hosts Parag Mallick and Andreas Huhmer of Nautilus Biotechnology discuss how clinical researchers can leverage proteomics for drug development. Some of the themes covered in this episode include:
- Proteomics and pre-clinical models
- How proteomics can drive patient selection
- Choosing the right end points in clinical trials
This post serves as a great companion to Translating Proteomics Episode 8 – Expanding the Druggable Universe with Proteomics.
