US HUPO 2026 Breakfast Seminar

Monday, February 23, 2026 | 7:15 - 8:15 AM

Multiplexed Detection of Membranous Nephropathy Antigens in Clinical Practice


This seminar will present innovative Affinisep SPE kits designed to streamline sample preparation in MS-based proteomics. During this breakfast seminar, we will have the pleasure of welcoming Dr. Aaron Storey, Director of the Mass Spectrometry lab at Arkana Laboratories.


Dr. Aaron Storey will present his work on the implementation of a membranous nephropathy typing assay on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer in clinical practice, and will describe how the use of the BioSPEĀ® PurePep 96 well plates for microelution helped him minimize variances during the peptide desalting step of his protocol. By attending his talk, you will learn that:


  • Membranous nephropathy is caused by immune complex deposition in kidney tissue and driven by autoantibodies
  • Determining the protein targeted by the immune system is important for etiology, prognosis, and treatment
  • A workflow for immune complex extraction and typing membranous nephropathy in frozen tissue by MRM has been developed
  • Assays for measuring autoantibody levels in serum are needed by the nephrology community
  • Using BioSPEĀ® PurePep for desalting increases recovery of cysteine-alkylated peptides

SPEAKER INFORMATION


Aaron Storey, Ph.D.

Dr. Aaron Storey joined Arkana Laboratories in 2023 to direct the Mass Spectrometry Laboratory and is interested in developing and applying mass spectrometry techniques in clinical settings to improve the practice of medicine and address clinical needs. His academic career has provided him with a broad knowledge base, spanning molecular biology, neuroscience, genetics, proteomics, statistics, and data science. His skill set combines the application of cutting-edge proteomics techniques to generate large datasets containing high-quality information with the use of programming languages and data analysis techniques to turn this information into actionable insights. Currently, Dr. Storey is working on translating a mass spectrometry-based assay for the clinical typing of membranous nephropathy into practice. Dr. Storey received his B.Sc. in Behavioral Neuroscience in 2010 from the University of Evansville and his Ph.D. in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology in 2017 from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
