Expression Pathology is developing targeted, quantitative
mass spectrometry-based assays that can be used to measure
protein expression in standard formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded
(FFPE) tumor samples. The assays include a wide range of drug
target pathway proteins including EFGR, IGF-1R, cMET, cSRC, mTOR,
MEK, and ERK, and their phosphorylation states.
Our
assays can be multiplexed and have great potential in drug development, clinical
trials and personalized medicine. Measuring protein expression
in standard
formalin-fixed tissue samples can provide diagnostic
and prognostic information to guide treatment decisions.
Absolute quantitation * Multiplexed Assays * Phosphoproteins * Drug Targets
Our development program is based on two proprietary
technologies; tissue dissection using our DIRECTOR laser microdissection
slides, and the ability to solubilize FFPE tissue using the
patented Liquid Tissue MS Protein Prep protocol so the sample
can be analyzed
using a range of different mass spectroscopy applications.
