Extending the company’s existing SistemRNATM suite of drug discovery and development tools, the Companion Biomarker program simplifies the benefits of miRNA analysis and profiling to support timely decision making within clinical research. Drug discovery companies will be able to utilize new multiple miRNA biomarkers to determine the efficacy of targeted drugs, in major therapeutic areas and when developing companion biomarker strategies for future clinical development.
MicroRNA profiling has rapidly become an indispensable technology with a whole catalogue of applications and new opportunities. Companion biomarkers are the most recent extension of the technology and are set to provide valuable clinical data to guide both pre-clinical and clinical studies.
