Bead Assisted Mass Spectrometry (BAMSTM):
A High-Resolution, Immunoassay Platform for Multiplexed Biomarker Screening
|
|
|
|
The ability to quantitatively probe diverse panels of proteins and their post-translational modifications (PTMs) across multiple samples would aid a broad range of biological, biochemical, and pharmacological research efforts. A novel microarray-based immunoassay technology that can support highly multiplexed, targeted proteomic studies has been developed by Adeptrix. The technology, termed Affinity-Bead Assisted Mass Spectrometry (Affi-BAMSTM), combines immunoaffinity capture with mass spectrometry detection, and it enables the development of highly specific and customizable assay panels for simultaneous profiling of multiple proteins, PTMs, and proteoforms.
|
|
The Affi-BAMSTM workflow uses a bead-based enrichment approach in which each bead contains a single, protein (or site) specific antibody. Multiplexing capability is achieved by combining Affi-BAMSTM beads that have different specificities. With Affi-BAMS, both intact proteins and protein fragments can be monitored for targeted proteomics applications. Affi-BAMSTM reagents have been created for protein targets in the areas of oncology, neurology, epigenetics, virology, and food allergens. The presentation will introduce the Affi-BAMSTM workflow and highlight several application areas.

Chief Technology Officer
Adeptrix Corporation

Dr. Jeffrey Silva got his Master’s and Ph.D. in Chemistry from Johns Hopkins University studying natural product biosynthesis and secondary metabolism in fungi, to examine how aflatoxin is produced by Aspergillus parasiticus. After graduate school, he pursued his post-doc at Harvard Medical School studying prokaryotic signal transduction of the model, two-component systems, PhoBR and VanRS. After that, he transitioned to the industry working as a senior scientist at a start-up company called Microbia (currently known as Ironwood Pharmaceuticals) focusing on Bioengineering fungal secondary metabolism and signal transduction machinery to overproduce pharmaceutically relevant natural products. After Microbia he spent many years working at Water Corporation as a development scientist in the area of global proteomics using novel LCMS methods. He later joined Cell Signaling Technology, where he served as the Director of the Proteomics Service Group, integrating affinity capture with mass spectrometry to carry out quantitative proteomics in the areas signal transduction (Serine, Threonine and Tyrosine phosphorylation), ubiquitin-directed protein degradation, as well as protein methylation and acetylation. He joined Adeptrix Corporation in 2017, and serves as the Chief Technology Officer to introduce a new assay technology platform that combines single-bead immunoaffinity capture with MALDI mass spectrometry for a wide range of targeted proteomic applications. He has also served as an Advisory Board Member at the Life Sciences Consortium of the North Shore, and a member of the Education Advisory Council at the Gloucester Marine Genomic Institute and their Biotechnology Academy.

About Adeptrix Corp
|
|
Adeptrix Corp is a developer and manufacturer of analytical reagents and assays that are based on the company’s proprietary platform technology termed Bead Assisted Mass Spectrometry (BAMS). BAMS™ is an innovative and powerful analytical platform that allows immunoassays to be measured by MALDI mass spectrometry for rapid, precise and sensitive target analyte detection. The BAMS platform technology is both multiplexed (capable of measuring multiple target analytes in a single assay) and high-throughput (capable of measuring hundreds to thousands of assays per day), making it amenable for a wide range of bio-analytical applications in drug development, basic research and clinical diagnostics. The current inventory of BAMS reagents have been configured for protein analysis in the fields of neurology, oncology and epigenetics.
