Proteomics Taking you Beyond The Genome

Mapping protein expression and modifications that define biological processes to improve research outcomes
Developing drugs in the post-genomic era faces new challenges to enable faster regulatory approval and development of precision medicine. Proteome Sciences has developed an analytical proteomic pipeline to provide broad biological context of targets and drug mechanisms based on unbiased analysis of protein expression and phosphorylation (SysQuant), statistical data modeling (FeaST) and a novel functional analysis tool (FAT). SysQuant® proteomics is the perfect tool to support smarter target discovery and validation, characterization of disease models and determination of complete mechanisms of action.

 Technology Selector  
I am interested in seeing changes in protein phosphorylation and global expression levels SysQuant
I am only interested in global protein expression levels with the widest coverage TMT LC-MS2
I am only interested in global protein expression levels with the highest quantitative accuracy TMT LC-MS3

Protein expression and regulation of pathway activity cannot be inferred from genomic or transcriptomic data but hold the key in understanding how new agents affect their targets and wider disease biology. Our specialized proteomics workflows can be applied across all aspects of drug development to deliver deeper insights, discover biomarker candidates and enable better decision making.
