This webinar offers a unique opportunity to hear directly from Professor Mathias Uhlén, lead author of the recent Science publication introducing the human pan-disease blood atlas. Built on extensive proteomic and clinical data, this landmark resource maps how thousands of plasma proteins vary across 59 diseases, aging, and health states.
Professor Uhlén will discuss the scientific concepts, analytical approaches, and discoveries behind this effort. Participants will also gain first-hand insights from the Human Protein Atlas team on how they leveraged Olink® Explore HT, a high-throughput NGS-based proteomics platform, to quantify more than 5,000 plasma proteins across over 8,000 individuals.
This large-scale profiling effort provides unprecedented resolution into how protein signatures shift across disease and the human lifespan—establishing a new foundation for precision medicine and translational biomarker research.
Learning Objectives:
Gain insight into the conceptual framework and experimental design that enabled the creation of the pan-disease Human Disease Blood Atlas.
Discover the translational potential of this resource for biomarker discovery, early disease detection, and personalized health monitoring.
Understand current limitations, future challenges, and how the scientific community can build upon this foundational atlas to advance precision medicine.
