Bio Screening Facility

Our mission

Expert delivery of High Throughput Screening (HTS) and Biomarker Analysis Services for our Academic, Clinical, and Commercial customers.

HTS allows the rapid identification of novel targets, enabling researchers to identify new avenues for their research. The Bio Screening Facility uses state of the art equipment and biological reagents to cater for researchers working with both mammalian and microbial cell-based systems.

Our Biomarker team translates biologically relevant markers at cell/tissue level onto markers that can be measured and confidently assessed in humans or animals. Services cover from sample processing to biomarkers methodological validation and their assessment in large sample collections, with a view to exploit their translational potential to wider areas of research.

Our two key areas 

1. High Throughput Screening (HTS) - HTS allows the rapid identification of novel targets, enabling researchers to identify new avenues for their research. The Bio Screening Facility uses state of the art equipment and biological reagents to cater for researchers working with both mammalian and microbial cell-based systems.

2. Bio Screening - a biomarker is defined as a characteristic that is objectively measured and evaluated as an indicator of normal biological processes as well as pathogenic ones. Our team translates biologically relevant markers at cell/tissue level onto markers that can be measured and confidently assessed in humans or animals through methodological validation so that these biomarkers can be applied to wider areas of research.

Applications include: genetic screening, drug screening, sample handling and processing and biomarker analysis.
