Potential
anti-cancer targets through gene expression
profiling in healthy tissues and tumors
|
 |
Location
of expression to specific cell types using cytochemistry
|
|
|
Localized
protein expression in tumor tissues, either
in specific tissues or using oncology arrays
|
|
Importance
of Human Tissue Research
|
|
|
Delivers
fast and cost effective data while reducing
the extent of in vivo animal testing required
|
|
|
Closest
model to human in vivo function, eliminating
species variation and generating human proof
of concept data earlier in the development cycle
|
|
|
Early,
accurate, go/no-go decisions can be made on
human data in real disease environments, reducing
the time, risk and cost of development
|
|
|
Screen
different populations and patient groups with
real patient variability, allowing earlier decisions
to be made prior to clinical testing |

Simbiosys
has put significant resources on the ground
to gain ethical approval to use human tissue
and to widen its network of providers. Surgical
ressection and cadaveric tissues are available
to Simbiosys through a wide network of hospitals.
Full informed consent is obtained prior to retrieval
of the tissues and we also obtain ethical permission
for our research studies from the relevant bioethics
committee. Simbiosys is not a tissue supplier.
We only allow use of human tissues to help our
partners through offering specialized tissue
research services.
