ADx NeuroSciences and Alamar Biosciences announce partnership to provide customized blood-based biomarker assay solutions to accelerate biopharma clinical development
Collaboration will expand access to high sensitivity NULISA immunoassays for clinical biomarker analysis
October 28, 2024 – Gent, Belgium and Fremont, CA, USA – ADx NeuroSciences, a wholly owned subsidiary of Fujirebio and a leader in neurodegenerative disease biomarker development, and Alamar Biosciences, a leader in ultra-sensitive immunoassay technologies, today announced a partnership in the development of customized biomarker assay solutions using Alamar’s NULISA™ (Nucleic Acid Linked Immuno-Sandwich Assay) immunoassay platform and ARGO™ HT System. This collaboration aims to provide advanced tools for the detection and quantification of critical biomarkers to support neurological disease therapeutic development.
Under the terms of the partnership, Alamar Biosciences and ADx NeuroSciences will combine their respective expertise to provide tailored assay solutions to meet the specific needs of pharmaceutical companies advancing novel therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and ALS.
"We are excited to partner with ADx NeuroSciences, a recognized leader in the field of neurodegenerative biomarker research," said Dr. Yuling Luo, Chairman and CEO of Alamar Biosciences. "By combining our NULISA platform's ultra-sensitive detection capabilities with ADx’s extensive expertise in neuroscience antibody and assay development, we aim to accelerate the development of biomarker assays that can facilitate the development and approval of disease modifying therapies for neurodegenerative diseases.”
Koen Dewaele, CEO of ADx NeuroSciences, commented, "Our collaboration with Alamar Biosciences marks a significant step forward in our mission to support pharmaceutical companies advancing their therapeutic programs. Every phase in the search for a therapeutic, from preclinical work up to the launch of the ultimate drug, requires specific biomarker tools. By working with various technology platforms, we are able to make our biomarker assays available on the right technology at the right time. By adding the NULISA platform with its remarkable sensitivity to our range of possible platforms, it enforces our capabilities to support our pharma network in their search for tailor-made biomarkers."
This strategic collaboration highlights both companies' commitment to advancing biomarker detection and expanding the possibilities for early diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. By harnessing the power of the NULISA platform, Alamar Biosciences and ADx NeuroSciences aim to deliver cutting-edge solutions that will benefit clinical research and aid in the development of novel therapeutics.
