IndiSwitch from VLife Sciences Technologies Pvt. Lt is a new indication discovery research service and helps companies to fully exploit protected IP by discovering new indications for approved molecules by design thus enabling repurposing of those molecules.

VLife brings 2 layered approach with New Indication service:
• Layer 1: Identifying benefits of existing molecule by means of exploring new indication for pursuing it in clinical trial
• Layer 2: Identifying and comparing Positive controls by understanding molecule’s mechanism of action

This service is delivered through cutting edge VLifeRVHTS technology for exploring potential New Indications for a given molecule or a set of molecules. Through VLife offering, the client accesses not only the power of VLifeRVHTS technology platform but also a highly knowledgeable scientific team having cumulative experience of over 300 man years in computational research. VLife IndiSwitch service has already delivered 7 new indication discoveries; several of these are in clinical trials with VLife clients.

VLifeRVHTS technology platform benefits over conventional research approaches:
• Study of molecule’s likely usefulness against targets for which Bio-assays are not available.
• Molecule’s interaction with the targets whose crystal structures are yet to be elucidated (in the case when model is available)

IndiSwitch - New Indication Discovery

VLife Sciences Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

In the prevailing patent regime, the discovery of New Indications for approved drugs acts as an important Product Lifecycle Management strategy. If you have a product in the market which is getting off-patent or a product that is not meeting its business objectives in the approved area, we can help you in discovering new indications where it can have a protectable intellectual property position. We undertake New Indication research deploying three independent approaches which ensure extensive exploration and hardly leave chance of false negatives and false positives. This research is carried out by expert VLife scientists who have a sterling track record in discovery of new indications and is enabled by our computational technologies and a multi core parallel processing computational cluster. We cover the following work-flow with the scope of engagement with client covering some or all of the following steps: 1.Computational discovery research 2.Novelty search and provisional patent filing 3.In-vitro testing & lead optimization 4.Full application filing under PCT 5.Assignment of the filed patent to the client Connect with VLife Expert to know more about this offering and how VLife can create intellectual property for you.

Lab-on-a-ChipLab-on-a-chip (LOC) technology uses microfluidic chips, such as microarrays, to perform biochemical assays on a small scale. Benefits of lab-on-a-chip include the small volume of sample required as well as the speed of analysis. In selecting lab-on-a-chip devices consider the assay, cost, reliability, sensitivity and signal to noise ratio.Data AnalysisData analysis hardware and software is available to make data processing straight-forward yet powerful. Data software can be used for math and stats, technical graphing and image analysis. In addition, software is available for specific data analysis of electrophoresis, densitometry, ELISA and DNA sequencing.Chem / BioinformaticsCheminformatics and bioinformatics are computational techniques used in chemistry and biology, respectively, for data acquisition, processing and storage. Cheminformatics focuses on compound information, whereas bioinformatics is mainly applied to analysis and modeling of genomics, genetic and sequencing information. Hardware and software is available for data acquisition, analysis, management and storage.Consultancy ServicesLaboratory consultancy services are available for automated systems design, research and development, lab equipment procurement and lab equipment rental.Integration ServicesIncorporate lab systems, software and equipment with integration services.Biopharmaceutical AdvancesBiopharmaceutical advances follow the development of pharmaceuticals derived from biotechnology, also known as biotechnology medicines. Biopharmaceuticals may be produced from cell lines, plants, or microbial cells. Important considerations of biopharmaceutical use include application, cost, production process and purification.
