Collaboration to bolster end-to-end services from assay development to confident informed clinical decision making MUNICH and KASSEL, Germany, June 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Definiens, a leading international Artificial Intelligence (AI)–based biomarker analysis and advanced data mining provider for immuno-oncology research, and Targos, a CAP/CLIA-accredited global leader in clinical trials-led biomarker services, today announced a collaboration for the integration of AI-powered data and multi-omics analytics of the tumor microenvironment with multiplexed immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay development in precision medicine global clinical trials. "The core of this collaboration unites the power of Definiens' AI-based biomarker analysis and data science expertise with Targos' vast experience in tissue-based biomarker analysis and application in global clinical trials," said Dr. Thomas Henkel, Chief Executive Officer of Targos. "Further joint development of novel multiplexing immunohistological protocols under GCP guidance together with Definiens' unique ability to integrate spatial immune cell distribution and multi-omics analytics will provide new innovative tools spanning from research to the development of new companion diagnostics in immuno-oncology." Definiens and Targos have already collaborated successfully in biomarker services for pharma and academic partners. On its own, Definiens has provided 2,500+ custom solutions across several indications, while Targos has supported more than 400 global clinical trials. Through this partnership, customers can take advantage of co-validated custom and standardized multiplex IHC solutions. The targeted biomarker spatial and advanced analytics are provided through an interactive online shareable web portal with live status updates. In addition, the customers will be guided by a team of data and translational scientists, clinical pathologists, assay development, image analysis, and regulatory experts from the exploratory phase to clinical phase.
