Supporting the Fight Against COVID-19

Learn how Sciomics supports COVID-19 research

 

Accelerated research is the best opportunity to increase the understanding of COVID-19 disease and efficiently fighting the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Testing multiple proteins in parallel accelerates your research and enables in-depth insights regarding the underlying molecular mechanisms.

 

Learn here how multiplex protein profiling can support your COVID-19 research. All information is also available as a pdf.

 

 

   Immune Response Profiling & Biomarker Discovery

> Immune Response Profiling

Explore how the immune system reacts to a SARS-CoV-2 infection in different age groups, risk groups and certain individuals. Are there common mechanisms which can be used for preventing severe disease ?  A parallel profiling of 121 cytokines / chemokines and 141 cell surface markers can provide novel insights. Such analyses are possible from patient samples (plasma / serum), cell culture as well as animal models.

> Disease Severity biomarkers for COVID-19

Discover new biomarkers for COVID-19 patient stratification, early prevention and improvement of disease management by multiplex screens from plasma or serum samples.
< scioDiscover >

> Outcome Prediction after positive SARS-CoV-2 test

Identify risk factors and correlating protein biomarkers indicating severe COVID-19 progression for improved disease management.
< scioDiscover >

 

    Development of therapeutics against COVID-19

> Benchmarking of Therapeutics & Drug Repurposing

Accelerate your COVID-19 research by assessing pathway activity, early toxicology and mechanisms of action for an efficient benchmarking of compounds or drug repurposing candidates.
< scioDiscover >  < scioPhospho >

> Therapy Response biomarkers

Identify predictive biomarkers for your COVID-19 drug candidate to stratify responders from non-responders
< scioDiscover >

 

   Development of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2

> SARS-CoV-2 vaccine development

In-depth analysis of responses to vaccine candidates from animal and patient samples. Analyses are possible from plasma / serum samples or from purified immune cells.
< scioCD >  < scioDiscover >  < scioPhospho >

> Profiling of animal models

Characterize response in different model organisms (mouse, rat and more) for your SARS-CoV-2 vaccine development
< scioDiscover >  < scioPhospho >

> Screening of viral SARS-CoV-2 epitopes

Analyse the antibody response to different vaccine candidates in animal models and patients using plasma/serum samples.
Analyse serum samples from COVID-19 patients to identify highly immunogenic epitopes.

New Sciomics Proteomics Research Blog has Launched!

Sciomics Protomics Research Blog

 

At Sciomics, we are dedicated to advancing healthcare through proteomics research. We are collaborating with research groups and big pharma, alongside our in-house biomarker research initiatives. To make this research more accessible to you, we are launching the new Sciomics science blog!

The first study we will feature was published this year in a journal in the Nature publishing group. It's a topic that affects us all. Any guesses? Stay tuned!

 

 

Testimonials

Tara Sigdel, PhD

Associate Professor, Department of Surgery, University of California San Francisco

"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."

Dr. Matthew Wright

Chief Scientific Officer, Kinarus Therapeutics AG, Basel, Switzerland

"We are a small biotech company without our own wet labs. Sciomics recommended a UK CRO that performed cell culture experiments for our studies. Sciomics seamlessly coordinated the transfer of the biologic materials to their facility and performed the scioCD panel to characterize cell surface markers and cytokines in cell lines treated with our small molecule drug candidates. The Sciomics data were instrumental in supporting our IP protection strategy. Their advice was very helpful and they worked with us to extract the most out of the data. We are very satisfied and highly recommend the Sciomics platform and the team."
