“Ask me anything” with Parag Mallick, Andreas Huhmer, and featuring special guest Don Kirkpatrick, Ph.D.

On this episode of Translating Proteomics, Parag, Andreas, and special guest Don Kirkpatrick answer questions submitted by the Translating Proteomics community. They cover:Needs in plasma proteomicsHow proteomics impacts drug development – with special guest Don Kirkpatrick, Ph.D.!How lifestyle impacts the proteomeHow the Nautilus Proteome Analysis Platform is impacting tau and Alzheimer’s disease researchReferencesShome et al., 2022 - Serum autoantibodyome reveals that healthy individuals share common autoantibodieshttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2211124722006489LaBaer Lab paper investigating autoantibody levels in plasma and their relationship to health.Sylman et al., 2018 - A Temporal Examination of Platelet Counts as a Predictor of Prognosis in Lung, Prostate, and Colon Cancer Patientshttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-25019-1Mallick lab paper investigating temporal changes in platelets and their associations with cancer biology.Krönke et al., 2014 - Lenalidomide causes selective degradation of IKZF1 and IKZF3 in multiple myeloma cellshttps://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.1244851Seminal paper describing selective protein degradation caused by lenalidomide.Fink and Ebert 2015 - The novel mechanism of lenalidomide activityhttps://ashpublications.org/blood/article/126/21/2366/34644/The-novel-mechanism-of-lenalidomide-activityReview of research elucidating the mechanisms of lenalidomide activityNdoja et al., 2025 - COP1 Deficiency in BRAFV600E&nbsp;Melanomas Confers Resistance to Inhibitors of the MAPK Pathwayhttps://www.mdpi.com/2073-4409/14/13/975Describe links between kinase inhibitor vemurafenib and changes in ETV transcription factor degradationSong et al., 2022 - RTK-Dependent Inducible Degradation of Mutant PI3Kα Drives GDC-0077 (Inavolisib) Efficacyhttps://aacrjournals.org/cancerdiscovery/article/12/1/204/675622/RTK-Dependent-Inducible-Degradation-of-Mutant-PI3KUse proteomics to discover that inavolisib acts through selective degradation of mutant PI3KαCanon et al., 2019 - The clinical KRAS(G12C) inhibitor AMG 510 drives anti-tumour immunityhttps://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1694-1Covers the development of an inhibitor of KRAS mutant KRAS (G12C).Schneider et al., 2024 - Feeding gut microbes to nourish the brain: unravelling the diet-microbiota-gut-brain axishttps://www.nature.com/articles/s42255-024-01108-6Review on the gut-brain axisWebpage for Johanna Lampe’s Lab at Fred Hutch Cancer Center<a href="https://www.fredhutch.org/en/faculty-lab-directory/lampe-johanna.html" rel="noopener noreferrer"...
