Collaboration with key-opinion leaders in relevant therapeutic areas
High flexibility for assay development and bioanalysis

How we support you

We support UMCG researchers and external researchers.

As a UMCG researcher:

Are you working on a novel biomarker assay that could be promoted?
Have you been contacted by an industrial partner for a biomarker validation study and you don’t know how to start with a proposal?

If your answer is YES to any of these questions, please don’t hesitate to get in contact. If you are not sure, get in contact anyway and we can advise you.

As an external company:

Are you looking for a biomarker or clinical expert in a specific indication area?
Are you interested to find a sample collection to validate your biomarker?
Are you looking for expertise to develop or improve your biomarker assay?
Are you looking for a specific analysis to be performed on your samples?

If your answer is YES to any of these questions, please don’t hesitate to get in contact.
