Explore New Approaches to Protein Biomarker Measurement

Measuring low-abundance protein biomarkers can create challenges across translational research, from limited sample availability to the need for sensitive and reproducible quantification.

Join Feng Xuan, Founder & CEO of Spear Bio, for an interactive Lunch & Learn exploring the science behind SPEAR’s homogeneous, wash-free immunoassay technology and its application to protein biomarker research. The discussion will cover current biomarker assays, example applications, the assay development roadmap, and opportunities to develop custom assays for emerging or program-specific targets.

Bring your research questions and join Biogen colleagues and Spear Bio experts for lunch, discussion, and Q&A.

What You’ll Learn

• Explore how SPEAR technology approaches sensitive protein biomarker measurement using a homogeneous, wash-free format.
• See examples of how SPEAR immunoassays can be applied across translational and neurodegenerative disease biomarker research.
• Discover the current SPEAR assay menu and areas of ongoing assay development.
• Learn how low-volume, qPCR-based biomarker workflows can support a range of research applications.
• Discuss opportunities for custom assay development around emerging or program-specific biomarker targets.
