Drs. Sang-Won Lee and Jaewoo Kang to share early insights from Seer’s 20,000-sample collaboration with Korea University in breakfast symposium on AI-driven multi-cancer screening
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Seer, Inc. (Nasdaq: SEER), the pioneer and trusted partner for deep, unbiased proteomic insights, today announced its participation at the 2026 American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) Annual Conference, taking place May 31 to June 4 at the San Diego Convention Center. At the meeting, Seer and a broad set of collaborators will demonstrate how the Proteograph® Product Suite is enabling deep, unbiased, scalable proteomics with peptide-level precision, empowering researchers to uncover hidden biological insights and drive new discovery across translational and population-scale research.
Seer’s presence at ASMS 2026 will span a featured breakfast symposium previewing one of the most ambitious applications of AI-driven proteomics to date, an oral presentation introducing next-generation proteomic data processing tools, and a diverse set of customer-led scientific presentations. Together, these sessions reflect the accelerating adoption of nanoparticle-enabled proteomics across translational research, systems biology, biomarker discovery, and precision medicine.
“ASMS has long been a defining venue for the proteomics community, and the breadth of Seer-enabled science being presented this year reflects how rapidly deep, unbiased proteomics is advancing from specialized research into population-scale discovery. Studies combining this scale and depth were simply not possible before the Proteograph platform, and we believe they represent a scientific paradigm shift in how proteomics can be applied to human health. I could not be more proud of the role Seer, our collaborators, and our customers are playing in helping to make this future possible,” said Omid Farokhzad, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of Seer. “From AI-powered multi-cancer screening with our collaborators at Korea University to next-generation data processing infrastructure such as Radiant DIA, the work being shared at ASMS 2026 underscores both the scientific impact and operational maturity of the Proteograph platform as a foundation for the next generation of biomarker discovery and precision medicine.”
Seer Breakfast Symposium
ID-free AI Proteomics for Multi-Cancer Screening
Date: Monday, June 1, 2026 | Time: 7:00 a.m. PT | Location: Conference Center, Room 33B
Speakers:
- Sang-Won Lee, PhD, Korea University and TargetX Inc
- Jaewoo Kang, PhD, Korea University and AIGEN Sciences
The symposium will offer the first public preview of findings from Seer’s previously announced large-scale collaboration with Korea University, which is analyzing more than 20,000 clinical plasma samples using the Proteograph Product Suite. Drs. Lee and Kang will share how AI-driven analysis of deep, unbiased plasma proteomics can enable highly sensitive, scalable multi-cancer screening, which is impactful for population-scale precision health initiatives.
Seer Oral Presentation
Building Scalable Proteomics with Radiant DIA™ and the Fulcrum Pipeline™
Date: Tuesday, June 2, 2026 | Time: 9:50 a.m. PT | Location: Ballroom 20BC Presenter: Seth Just, Data Engineering and Software, Seer
As proteomics studies scale to tens of thousands of samples, data processing has emerged as a rate-limiting step constraining how quickly results can move from instrument to biological insight. In this oral presentation, Seer will introduce Radiant DIA™, a next-generation DIA proteomics search engine currently in development designed to deliver an order-of-magnitude reduction in runtime while preserving the depth and sensitivity required for discovery. Paired with the Fulcrum Pipeline™, a modular framework for distributed search and cluster-scale post-processing across local and cloud environments, Radiant DIA aims to remove one of the most significant computational constraints on modern population-scale proteomics, enabling researchers to process the largest cohorts in dramatically less time.
Scientific Presentations Featuring Seer Technology
ASMS attendees will also have access to a diverse set of customer-led presentations enabled by the Proteograph Product Suite. Highlights include development of a Human Blood Proteome (HuBP) database profiling over 10,000 proteins to advance understanding of human physiology and disease, comparative evaluations of next-generation plasma proteomics workflows and instrumentation platforms, multiomics investigations into Alzheimer’s disease and environmental exposure biology, and studies demonstrating advances in glycoproteomics, extracellular vesicle analysis, and deep plasma proteome characterization. Together, these presentations underscore the growing adoption of Seer-powered proteomics across translational research, systems biology, biomarker discovery, and precision medicine applications.
