Company to host scientific workshop featuring emerging eMTBR-Tau and BD-pTau217 research data for Alzheimer’s disease detection and staging
FREMONT, Calif., July 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alamar Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALMR), a leader in precision proteomics dedicated to enabling the earliest detection of disease, today announced that its NULISA™ platform will be featured in more than 140 poster and session presentations at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference (AAIC), taking place July 12-15 in London. The volume of data reflects widespread adoption of NULISA and ARGO™ HT technology among researchers studying Alzheimer’s and related dementias.
"With more than 140 posters and presentations featuring NULISA, over four times the number at the previous AAIC, we're seeing just how quickly the field has embraced multiplex protein profiling with NULISA for Alzheimer's research," said Steve Williams, MD, PhD, chief scientific officer at Alamar. “Our workshop this year goes beyond pTau-217 to show what's possible when you can measure tau pathology, neuroinflammation, and neurodegeneration markers together in one workflow.”
Alamar will host a workshop titled, “Beyond p-tau217: Expanding Alzheimer's Insights with Multiplex Protein Profiling” during AAIC on Tuesday, July 14, 1:20-2:00 PM BST. The program will showcase new data generated on Alamar’s NULISA platform, specifically on its eMTBR-Tau and BD-pTau217 assays. Highlights include:
- eMTBR-Tau and BD-pTau217 represent two of the most specific blood-based indicators of Alzheimer’s disease identified to date and were measured alongside more than 220 disease-related proteins on a single NULISAseq™ panel.
- Evidence that measuring BD-pTau217 and eMTBR-Tau improves discrimination across the Alzheimer's continuum compared to single-analyte pTau-217 measurement alone and data supporting the use of combined amyloid and tau biomarkers to enable earlier detection and more precise disease staging.
- Applications of the NULISA platform across presymptomatic, prodromal, and diagnosed Alzheimer’s populations.
“The ability to measure eMTBR-Tau and BD-pTau217 alongside a broad panel of CNS-relevant proteins in a single workflow gives us a resolution on tau pathology and disease staging that single-marker assays can't match. We believe this kind of multiplex data is what will move the field past pTau-217 as the default readout,” said Thomas K. Karikari, PhD, Director of the Biomarker and Neurogenetics Core at the University of Pittsburgh.
The Alzheimer's Association International Conference is the world's premier forum for the scientific community focused on dementia and Alzheimer's research. Every year, the conference gathers leading experts, scientists, clinicians, and stakeholders to share the latest discoveries, foster collaborations, and accelerate the quest for effective diagnostics and therapies. Alamar will be exhibiting at Booth 530 throughout the conference.
