When the Immune System Misfires
Leveraging Self-recognition Failures in Autoimmunity

Eric Johansen, PhD - R&D Scientist, CDI Labs

Discover the cutting-edge field of seromics – autoantibody discovery – and its potential to unravel the causal roles of autoantibodies in disease. This workshop will explore innovative proteomic tools that enable researchers to map and characterize molecular interactions across entire proteomes. We will delve into autoantibody profiling, monoclonal antibody specificity and target identification testing, as well as viral exposure profiling.
