RIBOLUTION Biomarker Center

We are your partner for:

• the development of algorithms and classification models for in vitro diagnostics.
• gaining detailed insights into the mechanisms of action and resistance of novel drugs, such as gene and cell therapies, by using single cell analytics.
• the accompanying evaluation of treatment results for clinical trials using omics-wide and multimodal measurements.
• the implementation of the resulting biomarker signature as a software prototype for medical devices (for example as software for in vitro diagnostics).

Classical NGS methods:

• Whole transcriptome sequencing (mRNA, totalRNA): gene expression profiling for biological and/or medical questions (for example, cancers, rare syndromes) as well as translational research
• Amplicon-based sequencing: sequencing of selected genomic regions for precision oncology as well as testing for hereditary diseases
• Genome sequencing / exome sequencing: genome profiling for cancer studies as well as translational research
• Small genome sequencing: targeted or complete sequencing of genomes with low complexity (such as bacteria, viruses or phages)

Advanced NGS methods

• Single cell sequencing and multiomics: transcriptome profiling and parallel detection of surface proteins of single cells. For example, for functional control of therapeutic CARs (e.g. CAR-T cells, CAR-NK cells) and for monitoring the success of therapy in patients.
• Spatial sequencing (spatial transciptomics): Spatially resolved gene expression profiles in tissues close to single cell resolution, for example for parallel molecular and imaging characterization of tumor, tumor infiltrating immune cells and tumor microenvironment.

Medical Bioinformatics
