Hotel Description
The BDC focuses on translating candidate biomarkers into validated clinical tests using highly specific, ultra-sensitive, high-throughput methodologies based on LC-MS/MS and immunoassays to analyse proteins, peptides and metabolites in complex biological samples. In its beginning, the BDC will focus on 3 major disease areas: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and Type II Diabetes (T2D). The BDC is an open innovation network leveraging on the expertise of multiple analytical laboratories and multiple clinical centres. We collaborate closely with the group of Peter Horvatovich (member of the DTL) when it comes to data processing and data analysis.
- Quantitative LC-MS/MS based proteomics, peptidomics and metabolomics
- Clinical biomarker assays by NMR
- Biomarker discovery and validation
- Clinical chemistry
- Quantitative bioanalysis of proteins, peptides and metabolites
- Mass spectrometry based differential profiling
Expertise and Track Record
435000013 Metabolic differences induced by slowly and rapidly digestible starch with dr. M.G. Priebe (UMC Groningen)
The integration of technology-driven research with clinical applications is rather unique in the Netherlands as is the focus on biomarker validation rather than discovery. This allows for a direct translation of research results into multi-centric clinical validation studies. Our open innovation network should allow close interactions with other partners in the DTL.
