Pixelgen Technologies to Shine at ASH Annual Meeting
Pixelgen Technologies, a frontrunner in the field of cell surface proteomics, has made headlines by announcing its participation at the
66th American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting and Exposition in San Diego, California, from December 7-10, 2024. This event not only marks a significant milestone for the company as they step into the hematology domain but also showcases their pioneering technology,
Molecular Pixelation (MPX).
Molecular Pixelation is a patented method that enables researchers to spatially map the organization of cell surface proteins at unprecedented resolution. This capability is especially crucial for hematology, as it offers valuable insights into the roles and interactions of proteins essential for blood cell function and pathology.
As stated by
Simon Fredriksson, Ph.D., CEO of Pixelgen Technologies, “With spatial mapping of cell surface proteins, hematology researchers can gain unprecedented insights into the organization and function of protein and protein complexes critical to blood cell function and disease.” He emphasized that this technology holds promise for advancing diagnostics, fostering personalized therapeutic approaches, and facilitating the development of innovative treatments targeting blood cancers and hematological disorders.
Participation Details at ASH 2024
During the prestigious ASH conference, Pixelgen will present two major sessions:
- - Industry Presentation: Simon Fredriksson will deliver a presentation titled “The Spatial Organization of Surface Proteins of Single Cells in Myelodysplastic Syndrome for Diagnostics and Drug Target Discovery by Molecular Pixelation.” This session is scheduled for December 7, from 3:30 PM to 3:45 PM in Room 5B, featuring collaboration data from Dr. Aaron Viny from Columbia University.
- - Poster Presentation: Dr. Jessica Nordlund, along with Dr. Maria Globisch, from the Molecular Precision Medicine research group at Uppsala University will present a poster showcasing their research on “Mapping the Spatial Proteome of Individual Leukemia Cells Undergoing Fludarabine Treatment.” This session takes place from 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM on December 7, at session number 803, in Halls G-H.
Additionally, Pixelgen will have a booth (#2852) where attendees can interact with company representatives, who will be showcasing the latest findings concerning CAR-T cells and the comprehensive mapping of their surface proteome to understand detailed mechanisms of action.
To bolster their efforts in hematology, Pixelgen has partnered with
Illumina to create an Application Note that explores cancer-specific protein patterns in blood cancer cells, which will be made available during ASH.
