Drug development
Get a high-resolution view of your mechanism of action. To supercharge drug development, we support biomarker discovery, mechanism of action analysis, efficacy, and off-target effect studies with the highest-quality single-cell data.
Ultraprecision along the drug development pipeline
Discover new targets
By capturing gene expression profiles at the individual cell level, single-cell sequencing uncovers previously hidden molecular mechanisms and cell subpopulations, providing invaluable insights to guide the development of targeted therapies.
Find novel biomarkers
By providing a high-resolution view of cellular diversity and gene expression dynamics, single-cell sequencing enables the detection of novel biomarkers, contributing to a more accurate and effective drug development process.
Optimize efficacy
Understanding how your therapeutic is internalized within tissue and affects different cell subpopulations is key to understanding potency and resistant cell types.
Maximize insights from complex models
By taking a high-resolution view of disease states and cellular responses to therapeutics, you can make the most of your precious samples. We have experience in organoid and organ-on-a-chip as well as canonical models of mouse, rat, guinea pig, dog, frog, crab-eating macaque, chicken, and many more.
Catch off-target effects
Studying therapeutic response at the single-cell level will ensure you capture off-target effects before testing it in the clinic.
Understand tissue tropism
Single-cell sequencing can provide insight into how viral vectors interact preferentially with different cell populations to express the desired cargo.
Technology
We currently offer single-cell and bulk transcriptomics. Our R&D team is actively testing new single-cell multi-omic technologies and spatial modalities to offer additional insight into our clients’ biological questions.
