From a pinhole to a panorama
Proteins are functional drivers of biology and thus key indicators of status in any living organism. To truly understand biology, we must empower researchers with the tools necessary to discover, annotate, and understand the rich universe of the proteome.
For decades, a critical limiting factor has been the inability to access the proteome in an unbiased, deep manner rapidly and at the scale necessary to survey and understand its diversity.
To create a more transformative view of the proteome, we had to create a new technology; one that provides a new lens on the proteome, enabling researchers to see the breadth, depth and dynamic nature of proteome diversity across populations and time. This is done across orders of magnitude of protein abundance; and is applicable to longitudinal population studies in a rapid and robust manner. While technologies exist today that can provide one or more of these attributes, Seer is expected to be the first to combine them all into a single, efficient workflow.
We aim to empower researchers to see more of the proteome and understand more of its diversity

Philip Ma is the Chief Business Officer for Seer. Previously, he was Vice-President for Digital Health Technologies and Data Sciences at Biogen, a group that he established in 2015 to discover insights and create value for Biogen and its patients. Prior to joining Biogen, Philip was Senior Partner at McKinsey & Company, where he served global leaders in the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors, leading the West Coast Healthcare Practice and global Personalized Medicine practice for the Firm. Active in community affairs, Philip also serves on the Board of Committee of 100, a group of Chinese-American business and community leaders focused on U.S. China relations and the Asian-American experience. Before McKinsey, Philip was a macromolecular crystallographer in the lab of Dr. Carl O. Pabo at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he received his Ph.D. in Biology. Philip also has degrees in Biochemistry (A.B. from Harvard College) and in Economics (MPhil from Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes Scholar).
