Alamar's NULISAseq Immune 340 and NULISAseq Neuro 220 panels will be used to investigate disease progression, biological subtypes and treatment response
FREMONT, Calif., Nov. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alamar Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALMR), a leader in precision proteomics dedicated to enabling the earliest detection of disease, today announced a strategic scientific collaboration with GSK plc (LSE/NYSE: GSK) that will use Alamar's NULISA platform in a large-scale study examining how circulating protein signatures relate to disease progression, biological subtypes and treatment response across respiratory, liver, kidney, neurological and autoimmune conditions. The collaboration intends to generate deep proteomic insights to advance precision prevention, treatment and earlier disease detection in real-world health care settings.
Many diseases that share the same clinical diagnosis encompass biologically distinct patient populations, contributing to differences in disease progression and treatment response. By combining large-scale proteomic profiling with real-world clinical data, Alamar and GSK aim to identify protein signatures that better distinguish these underlying biological differences and improve how disease is classified, studied and treated.
To achieve these goals, Alamar's NULISA platform will analyze more than 60,000 serum samples, drawn from a diverse patient cohort, using the NULISAseq Immune 340 and NULISAseq Neuro 220 panels. The combination of immune and neurological proteomic profiling at this scale is designed to generate a deep biomarker dataset spanning disease areas where heterogeneity has historically made therapeutic development difficult.
The scientific collaboration will focus on the following areas of inquiry:
- Proteomic correlates of disease outcomes: mapping protein signals to recorded diagnoses, prescribing patterns, and clinical events
- Diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive biomarker identification: characterizing single and multiplex protein patterns associated with disease susceptibility and severity over time and throughout aging
- Mechanistic endotyping: uncovering the biological subtypes underlying conditions currently grouped under a single clinical label
- Proteomic measures of drug response: characterizing how patients' protein profiles relate to individualized responses to existing therapeutic mechanisms
"Proteomics has emerged as one of the most promising frontiers in precision medicine, and the quality of measurements from Alamar's NULISA platform offer enormous potential," said Robert Scott, senior vice president, R&D translational sciences at GSK. "By profiling the proteome at scale across a diverse patient population, we have the potential to shape how we identify patient populations, design clinical trials, and ultimately develop more targeted and effective therapies. This collaboration offers considerable promise to advance our work to discover and develop medicines for patients."
"We believe the application of our ultra-sensitive NULISA platform will uncover proteomic patterns that were previously obscured, yielding signatures capable of stratifying patients for precision prevention and treatment at the earliest possible stage," said Dr. Yuling Luo, founder, chief executive officer and chair of Alamar. "The insights generated here have the potential inform drug development programs and advance a new standard for what proteomics can deliver in precision medicine."
