Every oncology R&D program eventually confronts the same key questions: Is our target of interest truly druggable in patient tumors? Are the relevant signaling pathways activated in the tumor and effectively modulated by the drug? And what resistance mechanisms should we anticipate – prior to them emerging in the clinic? Genomic and transcriptomic data can suggest the answers, but only protein-level tumor biology data can provide direct evidence of this dynamic functional biology.
In this webinar, hosted by Technology Networks, researchers from Sapient present a mass spectrometry-based proteomics approach that quantifies 12,000+ proteins across tissues – including fresh-frozen and FFPE samples – to make the functional tumor proteome accessible at scale in human tumors.
From Target Accessibility to Resistance Mechanisms: What Proteomics Now Reveals in Patient Tumors
We show how these workflows simultaneously resolve surface target accessibility for ADC, T-cell engager, and radioligand therapy programs, as well as phosphorylation-driven pathway activation, immune cell composition, and resistance-associated protein networks: the functional dimensions of tumor biology that determine whether a drug will be effective in the patient tumor. You’ll come away with:
- An understanding of how mass spectrometry-based proteomics delivers functional tumor biology data from FFPE and fresh-frozen tissue at scale
- Appreciation for where protein-level evidence can augment or replace genomic inference at critical decision points in oncology drug development, from target selection through translational biomarker strategy
- Real-world examples of mass spectrometry-based proteomics applied across diverse tumor samples to reveal novel insights into cell surface targets, functional tumor signaling, immune activation, and resistance mechanisms with single protein and pathway-level resolution
Data from ovarian, colorectal, lung, and other tumor types will illustrate the novel insights uncovered through protein-level profiling that are missed by sequencing alone. You’ll gain a practical understanding of how functional proteomics evidence can be incorporated earlier in development programs – and what that means for target selection, biomarker strategy, and clinical readiness.
