Networks

		BIO Deutschland As the sector association of the biotechnology industry, BIO Deutschland has set itself the objective of supporting and promoting the development of an innovative economic sector based on modern biosciences.
		DECHEMA DECHEMA is the expert network for chemical engineering and biotechnology in Germany. As a non-profit professional society we represent these fields in science, industry, politics and the general public. DECHEMA promotes scientific and technical exchange among experts from different disciplines, organisations and generations. We consolidate the know-how of over 5,800 individual and sustaining members.
		BioRN Over the past few years the Rhine-Neckar biotech region has developed into one of Germany’s strongest biotechnology clusters. The cluster is located within a radius of 30 km around the cities of Heidelberg, Mannheim, Darmstadt and Ludwigshafen. It is the most prominent and concentrated biotech cluster in Germany in the fields of personalized medicine and cancer research.
		Technologiepark Heidelberg Heidelberg Technology Park is a science park where major research institutes and global corporations work side by side. The synergies are manifold so that what emerges is a science-based society in which science finds scope for experimentation in industry and scientific research gains new perspectives as a result of international cooperation.
		BioLAGO e.V. BioLAGO is the cross-border health network for life sciences in the four-country-region of Lake Constance (Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Liechtenstein). The network links industry with science for innovations; it promotes knowledge transfer and the foundation of new firms.
		Network Lab-on-a-Chip Technologies Lab-on-a-Chip approaches (short: LoaC) are the combination and integration of several analytical steps of classical and new laboratory analysis on a glass, silicium or plastic chip. The goal is to achiev a high degree of automation as well as the parallelization of many analytical steps (keyword " High Content Screening"). The network focuses on innovative products, production processes and services primarily in the fields of Point-of-care diagnostics systems / Biomarker development Replacement of animal experiments by "organ-on-a-chip" approaches cell analysis / microbiology chip manufacturing

Article | Lactate-driven immune hotspots resolved via SLC5A12 blockade

| August 2025 | Lactate signaling induces cytokine production and T/B cell clustering in Sjögren’s disease, and SLC5A12 blockade reverses these effects. Sciomics contributed to this study by comparing protein abundance and acetylation levels of murine cells using the scioDiscover protein profiling platform.

"From the very beginning, working with the friendly and highly competent team at Sciomics was both professional and refreshingly straightforward. We particularly valued their openness to our specific research questions and the expert support they provided in planning and interpreting our exploratory cytokine analysis in a preclinical lung injury model. Communication was always on equal footing, enriched by Sciomics’ deep expertise, which also sparked new ideas for future projects."

"We collaborated with Sciomics GmbH in Germany to analyze proteomics data from blood samples of kidney transplant recipients and liver perfusates during normothermic machine perfusion. Throughout the process, Sciomics provided exceptional support, ensuring timely data delivery and valuable assistance with data analysis. Their expertise and commitment have been instrumental in advancing our research, and we are currently using their data in multiple manuscript submissions. I highly recommend Sciomics for their reliable service and expertise in proteomics."
