We recently showed you where to find the wealth of IHC data available from Human Protein Atlas Web portal.  Now you can listen to Dr. Fredrik Ponten, the Vice-program Director of Human Protein Atlas Project describe an antibody-based proteomics strategy to identify cancer biomarkers using Human Protein Atlas data.  Just click on our latest webinar, “Antibody-based Biomarker Discovery in Cancer Research”

The strategy combines high-throughput generation of mono-specific antibodies with protein profiling in human tissues and cells using immunohistochemistry (IHC) on cell and tissue microarrays (TMAs).  Dr. Ponten covers the development and validation of Prestige Antibodies® powered by Atlas and explores the use of these antibodies in the search and characterization of biomarkers related to cancer.

The webinar concludes with a brief overview of Your Favorite Gene Powered by Ingenuity given by yours truly.
I also recommend Kyle’s video if you want the highlights of this powerful research tool.

It’s with great pride that we tell you Sigma Life Science is Where bio Begins.

To quote our VP of Marketing, Dr. Helge Bastian…“We want to help life science researchers address their research challenges and are committed, more than ever to support them on their way to new and revolutionary discoveries.”

Over the past decade, Sigma Life Science has built a repertoire of products and technologies to support the biological researcher. Part of our commitment to biology is to share our knowledge and resources with you.

If you’ve been following us over the last 30+ days, you have noticed that we are using social media as a means to get to know the biological community at a whole new level. We’ll continue this trend here. As we go forward look to sigmabioblogs.com for the skinny on new techniques, improving old techniques, exciting applications, war stories from technical services, and information about scientists from all over the bio community.

Here is a video of our President, Dave Smoller, to tell you the details.

Watch the video and then check out our great tools and techniques listed below.

• Targeted Genome editing
• Knock out research models
• Custom oligo services
• Biomolecules including antibodies and small molecules
• Reprogramming tools for stem cell research
• siRNA and shRNA’s for gene knockdown
• Biological search tool

Thanks for talking to us. We are having fun and hope you are too.

Welcome to Sigma Life Science. This is Where Bio Begins.
