scioDiscover - Drug Target Discovery

 

You have identified a compound with the desired effect ?

You are looking for its targets ?

Which additional pathways are affected ?

Which proteins are altered in a diseased tissue ?

Get a complete picture of protein expression in multiple pathways !

 

In-depth knowledge about protein expression levels is crucial for the discovery and evaluation of new drug targets. Our Scio-Discover service is fully immuno-based and covers proteins involved in key disease and signaling pathways as well as secreted proteins. Only minimal sample amounts are required for highly parallel protein analysis. There is no need for sample fractionation or depletion. Our platform is capable of processing most biological samples without extensive sample preparation, saving valuable time and resources.

 

Applications

  • Drug target identification and verification studies
  • Mechanistic studies for various indications
  • Correlation of next-gen sequencing (NGS) data with protein expression levels
  • Profile cytokine and inflammatory status of your samples

 

Key Advantages

  • Low sample consumption, for example*
    • Plasma sample: 5µl
    • Tissue: 1mg (fresh-frozen)
    • Cells: 100,000
    • CSF: 5µl
  • Investigation of human, murine and rat samples**
  • Fast turnaround time, as little as two weeks***
  • No need for laborious sample depletion or fractionation
  • High sensitivity (as sensitive as or more sensitive than ELISA)
  • High reproducibility (CV < 10%)
  • Various sample types can be analyzed
    • Blood serum or plasma
    • Tissue
    • Cell culture
    • Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)

*Minimum quantity. These values may vary depending on the sample type, study design, storage conditions. and additional parameters.

** Antibody array is designed to target human proteins. Due to a high sequence homology of vast majority of proteins it was often successfully applied to study murine, rat and ovine models as well  [Thorenz A. et al. (2018), Peiro J. et al. (2018), Reichman H. et al. (2019), Raquel F. et al. (2020)].

*** Depending on study design and sample numbers.

Testimonials

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."
