Proteomics provides a powerful, non-invasive way to explore cancer biology. Assistant Professor Kacey Couts and her team at the University of Colorado are using SomaSeq Discovery (formally Illumina Protein Prep) to uncover novel insights into rare melanomas. This assay identifies 9.5K unique human proteins across more than 200 biological pathways, enabling her team to maximize discovery power as they search for novel biomarkers and investigate treatment responses.
