About us

Addressing unmet diagnostic needs in women's health through new glycoprotein biomarker panel clinical mass spectrometry-based blood tests that are simple for patients and doctors, but sophisticated and cost-effective in the clinical laboratory. ProSeek Bio is securing exclusive rights to commercialise the ovarian cancer biomarkers discovered by Associate Professor Michelle Hill's laboratory at QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute, using the lectin magnetic bead array (LeMBA)-mass spectrometry platform developed earlier in her laboratory at The University of Queensland.

    I am delighted to announce that I have joined ProSeek Bio as Commercialisation Lead. Roughly 5-10% of all women will develop an adnexal mass in their lifetime. An adnexal mass is a growth on or around the ovaries. Most adnexal masses eventually clear from the body without treatment, but 20% are cancerous. There are no safe and reliable non-invasive tests to determine if the mass is cancerous, so typically the ovaries are removed. In the US alone, 200,000 women every year will undergo surgery to remove one or both ovaries because of an adnexal mass, and roughly 80% of all of these surgeries are unnecessary because the mass turns out to be non-cancerous. Proseek Bio is pioneering desperately needed new blood tests for ovarian and other women’s cancers. Our goal is to reduce the number of unnecessary surgeries and improve survival rates through more reliable and earlier detection of these cancers using our novel platform. I’m personally thrilled to be working towards finding better solutions in an area of such high unmet need with the Proseek Bio team! www.proseekbio.com #OvarianCancer #MedTech #Diagnostics

    Presentation by our founder Michelle Hill, PhD at #imsc2024 highlighted a rootcause of #womenshealthgap that’s missing from action plans: effective diagnostic tests to rule-in/out conditions with common symptoms such as #ovariancancer. Current risk stratification protocols deem younger women at low risk thus allowing their cancers to progress to late, fatal stages. To change this appalling situation, ProSeek Bio is working with international parnerts to develop novel #clinical #massspectrometry blood test that use glycoform biomarker panel for ovarisn cancer diagnosis.

    Founder & Director ProSeek Bio | Women's health diagnostics innovation | Glycoform proteomic biomarker panel mass spectrometry diagnostic blood test | Multi-omic translational science | Metabolic and Systemic Health

    Only 4 weeks left until IMSC2024! Excited to unveil #ProSeekBio's groundbreaking clinical mass spec assay pipeline for serum glycoform biomarker panels, beginning with an #ovarian cancer diagnostic blood test. Early detection is crucial for ovarian cancer, which has a high survival rate when treated at early stages. However, outdated tests lead to delayed diagnoses, with most cases detected at advanced stages after prolonged vague symptoms. #ProSeekBio is dedicated to enhancing women's health by collaborating with key stakeholders to create innovative clinical tests addressing unmet diagnostic needs. Stay tuned for more updates! #masspec #ovariancancer #Innovation

    Neglecting women's health innovations and access is costly, not just for women. According to the latest Closing Women's Health Gap report from World Economic Forum & McKinsey Health Institute: - Addressing the women’s health gap could potentially boost the global economy by at least $1 trillion annually by 2040. - Women spend 25% more of the lives in debilitating health. No geographic region or age group is unaffected. Recommended five-pronged action across multi-stakeholders: 1. Invest in women's centric research. 2. Systematically collect sex and gender specific research data. 3. Increase access to women-specific care in all areas from prevention to treatment. 4. Create incentives for investment in women's health innovation. 5. Implement policies supporting women's health. ProSeek Bio aims to contribute to better women's health through cancer screening tests, starting with ovarian cancer. Our mass spectrometry-based glycoform-specific biomarker platform is pathology lab-ready, allowing rapid implementation after machine learning algorithm development. We will soon be looking for passionate and skilled team members, advocates and networks.

    Navigating the complex landscape of biomarker discovery is daunting. Worse is investing months, or even years, thinking you've found specific biomarkers only to realize they're worthless when applied to prospective data. This mini-tutorial walks the reader through a pervasive, but inappropriate, Machine Learning strategy that selects features in a biased manner to make lackluster proteomics data look impressive. This is NOT what you should do with your data, but this knowledge will hopefully make it a bit more likely that you won't waste your time chasing biomarker ghosts. How (Not) to Generate a Highly Predictive Biomarker Panel Using Machine Learning. https://lnkd.in/grWaz27F JMSACL (Journal of Mass Spectrometry & Advances in the Clinical Lab) Mass Spectrometry & Advances in the Clinical Lab Females in Mass Spectrometry Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine
