Inflammatory diseases, such as asthma, arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease, involve ongoing inflammation where the body does not return to its normal healthy state. There are a wide range of factors which can cause inflammation excess, including lifestyle and external pollutants.
Inflammatory Diseases
Our Approach
Our multidisciplinary expertise allows us to help clients develop drugs to address the therapeutic area of inflammation and immunology.
Flow cytometry is a popular technique used to examine the characteristics of cells or particles. It can simultaneously analyse multiple parameters such as relative size, internal complexity, relative fluorescence intensity, etc on the same cell within seconds.
Cells are passed through a focused laser beam to produce optical signals including light scattering and fluorescence, which are characteristic to them. There are various technology platforms such as Attune Nxt (Thermo Fisher) and Guava® (Merck Millipore) that successfully measure physical and chemical properties of cells.
Our bioscientists are well-experienced in using these platforms for a wide range of cell analysis applications ranging from phenotyping to cell health and viability.
Expertise in Assay Development
With long standing expertise in assay development, alongside our experience in medicinal chemistry, bioscience and DMPK, we can offer a fully integrated drug discovery service for clients looking for clinical solutions to a range of inflammatory diseases.
