Comprehensive phenotyping and biological marker discovery
نویسنده
چکیده
There is an enormous unmet need for biological markers to characterize disease type, status, progression, and response to therapy. We are developing and applying an integrated bioanalytical platform and clinical research program to facilitate comprehensive differential phenotyping of patient samples and enable the discovery of biomarkers. The platform employs high-throughput, quantitative analysis for the characterization of thousands of parameters including cell populations, cell-surface antigen density, soluble proteins and soluble low molecular weight biomolecules, from small-volume biological samples in a clinical research laboratory-like setting.

Comprehensive Phenotyping in Multiple Sclerosis: Discovery Based Proteomics and the Current Understanding of Putative Biomarkers
Currently, there is no single test for multiple sclerosis (MS). Diagnosis is confirmed through clinical evaluation, abnormalities revealed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) chemistry. The early and accurate diagnosis of the disease, monitoring of progression, and gauging of therapeutic intervention are important but elusive elements of patient care. ...
متن کاملDeep phenotyping for precision medicine.
In medical contexts, the word "phenotype" is used to refer to some deviation from normal morphology, physiology, or behavior. The analysis of phenotype plays a key role in clinical practice and medical research, and yet phenotypic descriptions in clinical notes and medical publications are often imprecise. Deep phenotyping can be defined as the precise and comprehensive analysis of phenotypic a...

Drug testing with traditional behavioral assays constitutes a major bottleneck in the development of novel therapies. PsychoGenics developed three comprehensive high-throughput systems, SmartCube(®), NeuroCube(®) and PhenoCube(®) systems, to increase the efficiency of the drug screening and phenotyping in rodents. These three systems capture different domains of behavior, namely, cognitive, mot...
متن کاملCytochrome P450 in vitro reaction phenotyping: a re-evaluation of approaches used for P450 isoform identification.
Marker substrates, chemical inhibitors, and inhibitory antibodies are important tools for the identification of cytochrome P450 (P450) isoform responsible for the metabolism of therapeutic agents in vitro. In view of the versatile and nonspecific nature of P450 enzymes, many of the marker substrates and chemical inhibitors used for P450 in vitro reaction phenotyping are isoform selective but no...
