Revolutionizing biomarker research with Olink technology

Hear from Professor Guillaume Paré from McMaster University, as he discusses the critical shift away from the traditional 'one biomarker, one disease' paradigm. He advocates for a more dynamic view of biomarkers, particularly focusing on protein signatures that can support better disease understanding and therapy development.

Olink is paving the way with its PEA technology to support the analysis of 5–5400+ proteins simultaneously. By working with an Olink Certified Service Provider such as CRLB-GMEL headed by Professor Guillaume Paré, investigators are enabled to redefine the boundaries of medical research and gain unique insights into disease biology, aiding the identification of new therapeutic targets and biomarkers.

Olink Proteomics

Olink Proteomics is a Swedish company dedicated to innovation, quality, rigor and transparency, providing outstanding products and services for human protein biomarker discovery. Olink panels for precision proteomics help scientists make research decisions more quickly and confidently through robust, multiplex biomarker analysis. Its high-quality multiplex immunoassay panels help bring new insights into disease processes, improve disease detection, and contribute to a better understanding of biology.

Based on the pioneering research of Professor Ulf Landegren and his group at Uppsala University, Sweden, Olink was founded in 2004, The company has a successful history of developing molecular technologies, with a broad IP portfolio. Many of these have been commercialized through out-licensing to industry-leading partners such as Affymetrix, Life Technologies, and through the spin-out companies Qlinea and Halo Genomics (now part of Agilent). Olink sold its highly successful Duolink product line for in situ detection of proteins to Sigma-Aldrich in 2015.

Following a company reorganization in April, 2016, Olink Proteomics is focusing entirely on developing and expanding its platform of high-multiplex immunoassay panels for protein biomarker discovery.

ProteomicsProteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.BiomarkersBiomarkers are biological markers which can be measured and evaluated to indicate a biological state. The use of biomarkers in research and diagnosis can indicate a normal or disease state or drug response of cells / tissues. Biomarkers include genetic markers, cell surface markers such as antigens, antibodies or receptors and secreted molecules such as cytokines. An assay system is required for identification of biomarkers. :Protein DetectionProtein detection techniques are essential for understanding protein expression, localization, and function. Methods such as western blotting, ELISA, and mass spectrometry are commonly used in research and diagnostics.
