Proteome Sciences is a CRO specialising in the analysis of proteins detected by Mass Spectrometry. We offer various Discovery and Targeted Services to characterise proteins and their associated post translational modifications. By using LC-MS2, SysQuant® and TMTcalibratorTM methodologies we can detect up to 8,000 of proteins/sample. With our proprietary bioinformatics software, these can be trimmed down to some tens of proteins that are either up-, or down-regulated with disease progression or drug treatment.

These key protein biomarkers can then be measured in a GCLP accredited Targeted Assay in a clinical trial, via a multiplexed assay of up to 100 proteins/sample.
