Illumina® Protein Prep launches to drive greater proteomic insights for improved drug discovery and development

Illumina Protein Prep can measure 9500 unique human protein targets, offering new insights into protein biology to fuel novel discovery for treatment of disease

Following early access program, customers commend scale, high consistency, and easy sample to insights workflow

Launch follows Illumina’s announcement of agreement to acquire SomaLogic

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Illumina Inc. (NASDAQ: ILMN) today announced the launch of Illumina Protein Prep, an assay introducing superior performance for next-generation sequencing (NGS) based proteomics discovery at scale. Illumina Protein Prep has been available through an early-access program, and is now broadly available to customers worldwide, enabling researchers to add proteomics to large-scale genomics studies and fuel new insights across cancer and cardio metabolic and immunologic diseases, with a streamlined sample-to-insights solution for discovery and clinical research. 

 

Launch the next era of proteomics with the Illumina Protein Prep solution.

“NGS-based proteomics provides critical speed, accuracy, reproducibility, and scalability to power large studies and accelerate the drug discovery pipeline for our ecosystem partners in biopharma,” said Steve Barnard, chief technology officer of Illumina. “Proteomics is essential to advancing our understanding of disease and is a central pillar of multiomics. Illumina Protein Prep will help deliver multiomics at scale to transform biologic discovery.”

Proteomics offers a view into proteins and their functions in biologic processes. Understanding their roles in gene expression and how proteins change throughout disease states is critical to biomarker discovery and precision therapy development. Illumina Protein Prep is powered by SOMAmer™ technology and can measure 9500 unique human protein targets, the most with an NGS readout; offering the greatest insights into protein biology.

Combining Illumina Protein Prep with the power and scalability of Illumina NovaSeq sequencing platforms enables the simultaneous interrogation of thousands of proteins in a single experiment, maximizing the discovery power of proteomics studies. After sequencing, Illumina DRAGEN™ Protein Quantification and Connected Multiomics software work together to turn complex proteomic data into clear insights. This powerful combination helps researchers streamline analysis and accelerate progress from discovery to therapeutic development, supporting pharma, contract research organizations, and translational research worldwide. 

Early access customers commend scale, high consistency, and easy workflow

Since 2024, Illumina has worked with nearly 40 early collaborators to pilot Illumina Protein Prep, informing development and leading to an optimized customer experience. Since the inception of early access, about 30,000 samples have been processed with the Illumina Protein Prep 6K assay and over 6000 samples with the Illumina Protein Prep 9.5K assay, which was made available through early access this March.

Illumina Protein Prep accelerates global discovery initiative in rare disease

Proteomic studies bridge the gap between genotype and phenotype, providing a real-time snapshot of cellular activity between healthy and disease states. Large-scale proteomic studies can accelerate the discovery of biomarkers for the early detection and monitoring of cancer and other diseases. Proteogenomics studies, which combine proteomic, genomic, and transcriptomic data, identify critical links between gene variants and protein expression that can be used to guide drug discovery. 

Researchers leading Genomics England’s 100,000 Genomes Project have implemented a multiomics program aimed at improving upon the 2019 diagnostic yield of about 25% for the rare disease cohort. As part of that, they’ve leveraged Illumina Protein Prep to profile more than 7800 participants. Data from the initial 500-sample pilot study showed a significant 7.5% increase in diagnostic yield.

“Until now, proteomics has been considered as a standalone research test, and what this study shows is it will have a much bigger clinical impact on both rare and common diseases,” said Professor Matthew Brown, chief scientific officer of Genomics England. “I am confident based on our pilot that proteomics will have significant clinical value in the not-too-distant future.”

The findings stemmed from the discovery of abundant differential proteins in specific disease categories, which supports the diagnostic potential of proteomics to advance rare genetic disease research by revealing disease-associated genes and pathways.

“The large content and high analytical sensitivity of Illumina Protein Prep is a big advantage to identify the differentially abundant proteins that link strongly with known factors involved in the disease category concerned, especially with rare disease,” said Brown.

Leveraging proteomics to understand rare melanomas

Immunotherapy has changed how oncologists treat cutaneous melanomas—a common and aggressive form of skin cancer. Unfortunately, these therapies are less effective against rare melanomas, such as ocular, acral, and mucosal. Kasey Couts, PhD, codirector of the CU Center for Rare Melanomas at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, is working to understand why this happens and investigating new ways to improve melanoma care.

Illumina Protein Prep is giving Couts’s research team a powerful, unbiased tool to interrogate these unique conditions. Other proteomic technologies the lab has used were limited to 92 proteins.

“Illumina Protein Prep can help us identify as many as 9500 proteins,” Couts said. “This scale is tremendously useful, as we try to dissect the mechanisms that are making these rare tumors resistant to immunotherapy.”

The team is using Illumina Protein Prep to investigate how cutaneous and rare melanomas can generate different proteomic signatures. Once identified, these biomarkers could eventually lead to new diagnostics and therapies.

“We are looking at what’s happening in the tumor cells, as well as the types of immune cells inside tumors and the overall tumor microenvironment,” Couts continued. “Illumina Protein Prep is helping us broaden our analyses to systemically investigate circulating proteins and the different factors that could be impacting the immune response.”

More proteomics news from Illumina

In January, Illumina announced a pilot proteomics program with UK Biobank and a consortium of biopharma collaborators to analyze 50,000 samples with Illumina Protein Prep, the NovaSeq X Plus System, and the DRAGEN Protein Quantification pipeline. The study will generate a new collection of high-quality, NGS-based proteomics data for the research community and pharma partners to advance biological insights.

In June, Illumina announced a definitive agreement with Standard BioTools (NASDAQ: LAB) under which Illumina will acquire SomaLogic, a leader in data-driven proteomics technology. The move enhances Illumina’s presence in the expanding proteomics market, advances the company’s multiomics strategy, and reinforces the value of the NovaSeq X Series as an enabler of the next generation of multiomic applications.

Once the transaction closes, Illumina platforms will continue to support all NGS-based proteomics solutions. Illumina will also continue to support SomaLogic’s currently offered array-based proteomics solutions. Until that time, Illumina and SomaLogic remain and will continue to operate as separate entities.

Early-access collaborators will be presenting at upcoming conferences, including the American Society of Human Genetics Annual Meeting in October, visit the event page, and the Human Proteome Organization World Congress in November.

Patrick Mahomes said, “Partnering with Hublot is an honor—it’s a brand that understands the value of timeliness, precision, and also performance. I’m proud to be a part of a legacy that was built on mastering time with style” 

A Game Changer in the World of Sports

Known for his exceptional athleticism and ability to perform under pressure, Mahomes has already broken multiple records and led his team to historic victories, including three Super Bowl championships and two-time MVP honors, to name a few. His innovative playing style and leadership on and off the field have redefined the quarterback position, making him a true game changer in the world of sports.

Much like Hublot, Patrick Mahomes redefines precision and performance—challenging norms and pushing boundaries with every throw, every game, and every season. He is the only quarterback in history to throw for over 5,000 yards in both college and the NFL in a single season. Mahomes reached 300 career touchdown passes faster than any quarterback in league history, holds the record for the most total yards in a single NFL season, and became the youngest QB to start in four Super Bowls. With three Super Bowl titles and two league MVPs already to his name, Mahomes isn’t just playing the game—he’s transforming it. His relentless pursuit of greatness aligns seamlessly with Hublot’s commitment to performance, culture, and style. Mahomes embodies passionate singularity—a rare fusion of talent, vision, and unyielding ambition that sets him apart as one of the most electrifying athletes of his generation. Beyond his athletic achievements, he shares a deep appreciation for the art of horology, innovation, and staying ahead of the curve, making this collaboration a natural and powerful match.

Excellence and Record-Breaking Ambition

Hublot has long been associated with excellence in the world of sports, having collaborated with some of the greatest athletes of all time, including Usain Bolt, Novak Djokovic, Kylian Mbappé, amongst others. Together, Mahomes and Hublot will continue to break records, inspire greatness, and elevate the standard of what it means to be the best both on and off the field.

“There are good players. Great players. And then, there’s Patrick Mahomes! Patrick is a true champion who represents everything that Hublot stands for. He is a leader, he has a vision, he brought a new style of playing for the beauty of the game, all of this with confidence, passion and instinct. At Hublot we recognize that mindset: a relentless pursuit of excellence, the courage to take risks and do it differently than others, and the dedication to continually break new ground. I have no doubt we’re up to great things next to Patrick and I can’t wait that together we will inspire billions around the world” stated Julien Tornare, Hublot CEO.

HUBLOT

In 1980 and for the first time, a watch dared to put a gold case on a rubber strap, turning the luxury watch world upside down in the process. Named for the porthole-shaped bezel with its exposed screws, Hublot was born and with it, the Art of Fusion.

In 2005 the brand took this exercise in creative thinking to a new level with the Big Bang and its iconic design, size and layered construction case. That same year, Hublot received the Best Design award at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève. Since then, spurred by this revolutionary mindset, the Big Bang has never stopped reinventing itself. The twenty-first century has its first watch Icon.

The concept of fusion is omnipresent, the guiding principle for every collection. Big Bang timepieces reshape the geometries of time; Classic Fusion balances boldness and restraint, while the Exceptional Timepieces overwrite expectations to create unprecedented horological objects. With its disruptive approach of challenging convention, Hublot’s DNA is transcribed in the Unico, Meca-10 and tourbillon in-house movements, to add another tier of meaning to the Art of Fusion.

Alchemy is ingrained into Hublot and not just at La Manufacture. Magic can take place on a football pitch, producing partnerships with major events (UEFA Champions League and UEFA EuroTM). Sometimes it happens at a concert, a basketball match, an artistic performance or at a unique gastronomic experience with Hublot’s family of starred Chefs. And so, the Hublot Vibes come to life, through shared moments of exaltation amongst the Hublotistas, its very own community of proud Hublot owners. The Art of Fusion goes beyond the tangible. It is a way of being, the Hublot way of life.

BIG BANG 20TH ANNIVERSARY – A CELEBRATION OF THE BIG BANG REVOLUTIONARY MINDSET

In 2005 the Big Bang marked the advent of a new era in watchmaking, more closely attuned than ever to the privileges of its name. Few timepieces have transformed contemporary watchmaking like the Big Bang. Twenty years after its launch, it remains the incarnation of a Manufacture that constantly pushes the boundaries of the unknown. Through exclusive materials and in-house movements, led by the Unico and the Meca-10, the Big Bang breaks with tradition – a notion it has never completely embraced. Singular for its bold aesthetic, plural for its versatility, this is the Big Bang.
