While the revolution in genomics has led to rapid improvements in the cost and speed of sequencing and created new insights into the genetic drivers of health and wellness, proteomics has lagged behind. Being able to capture a comprehensive view of the changing level of proteins in an individual could play a significant role in bringing about an era of precision medicine. SomaLogic is providing a push in that direction with its SomaScan Discovery platform, which can read 5,000 protein measurements in the blood through a single assay. We spoke to Roy Smythe, CEO of SomaLogic, about the role proteins play in health and wellness, the way the company’s technology works, and the opportunity for it to help advance the area of precision medicine.
