Clarifying Heart Failure Biomarkers Through Scientific Rigor

Simple Western

“Simple Western allowed us to confidently identify and validate multiple circulating forms of neprilysin. That clarity was essential for explaining why different immunoassays produce conflicting results—and for advancing biomarker research toward real clinical impact.”

Approaching Instrument Changes in QC: One Team's Journey on Changing from the iCE3 System to Maurice C.

Imaged Capillary Electrophoresis (iCE)

We assessed relevant instrument and method performance aspects such as sensitivity, proportionality between product concentration and observed signal, baseline comparability, peak position shifts, resolution, relative peak area, and measurement variance. Based on the generated data, we concluded that Maurice C was suitable to seamlessly continue iCE3-based release icIEF measurements.

Hear from the Experts: Optimizing Extracellular (EV) Analysis with Simple Western

Simple Western

"With these clinical applications, we can help patients with more predictive biomarkers for cancer, including biomarkers for earlier diagnosis. In a few years, this could help us improve patient survival."

From a Postdoc’s Perspective: Dr. Kerry Purtell

"Don't disregard results because an experiment did not turn out the way you or your PI expected."

From a Postdoc’s Perspective: Dr. Andrew Johnson

"I think it's very important that anyone who wants to work in biotech setting understands how research becomes a product, and that they are able to talk about their work and design their projects with that in mind."

RareGenomics BeHEARD Awardee, Dr. Melanie Gillingham

"We learn so much in biology by studying rare cases rather than only studying the routine or normal condition."

Interviews: 2019 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine - Cellular Oxygen Sensing

From a Postdoc’s Perspective: Dr. Sarah Hopp

"I've enjoyed teaching and mentoring more than I ever expected, and knowing that about myself has allowed me to pursue a specific career track as I apply for faculty positions that strongly emphasize undergraduate education."

Nobel Prize 2016 Interviews: What do autophagy’s leading scientists have to say about this year’s Nobel Prize and its recipient?

From a Postdoc’s Perspective: Dr. Brian Aguado

"I believe that biomaterials scientists will have to synergize with systems biologists to develop more effective therapies as a function of a patient's unique biology."

Rare Genomics BeHEARD Awardee, Bilon Khambu

"Follow your passion to understand the basics of the disease pathogenesis. It is always fulfilling to get the answer for the basic, fundamental research question that will have a future or immediate translational impact."
