BioMerieux Will Use Proteome Sciences Biomarkers to Develop Stroke Dx

May 23, 2006

NEW YORK, May 23 (GenomeWeb News) - Proteome Sciences today said it has penned a license agreement with bioMerieux to use its biomarkers in blood to detect, diagnose, and monitor stroke. 

 

Under the terms of the agreement, bioMerieux will test Proteome Sciences' biomarkers for a stroke diagnostic panel across a patient population in Continental Europe.

 

The biomarkers were discovered and validated using a combination of different proteomic approaches, all of which are available for external use through the proprietary ProteoSHOP platform.

 

Financial terms were not disclosed.
