We thank our sponsors for the kind support of the e:Med Meeting 2017:

Through our dedication to innovation, quality, rigor and transparency, Swedish company Olink Proteomics provides outstanding products and services for targeted human protein biomarker discovery. We help scientists get answers quickly and confidently through robust, multiplex biomarker analysis. Olink immunoassay panels enable rapid, high-throughput analysis, with exceptional data quality and minimal sample consumption. Using just 1 μl of sample, 92 biomarkers are assayed simultaneously, with up to 96 samples run per panel. Our Proximity Extension Assay (PEA) technology enables this high level of multiplexing, as this dual recognition, DNA-coupled method provides exceptional readout specificity. Disease area or biological process-focused panels have both validated and exploratory biomarkers, and our rigorous assay validation data is freely available. Choosing either ready-to-use kits or our Analysis Service, customers get high quality data and rapid high-throughput analysis that makes the most effective use of their precious samples.

HMG’s vision - "the appropriate drug with the right dose at the right time for the right patient"
HMG Systems Engineering GmbH (HMG) located in Fürth (Bavaria), Germany is a small to medium-sized enterprise focused on IT-based innovations. We have 34 employees from eight different nations who work together to translate innovations into reality. Business activities range from offering comprehensive IT based systems engineering services for well-known multi-national companies up to our medical experts and decision support system - the PGXperts platform. Since 2014 we have been developing this platform to facilitate "precision medicine". It enables physicians to tailor medication more precisely providing additional information based on the individual patients pharmacogenetics profile, its clinical consequences and a drug interaction check. A clinical pilot (100 patients) has been performed and a drug interaction app including PGx related information will be introduced in September.
In 2016 HMG was awarded as one of the Top 100 (top100.de) most innovative SMEs in Germany and our PGXperts Platform was placed second at the PerMediCon (congress for personalized medicine), December 2016.

Based on more than two decades of expertise in the field of gene therapy, gene editing and immunotherapy GeneWerk GmbH was founded 2014 in the biotechnology metropolitan area Rhein-Neckar, Heidelberg, Germany. Our business partners appreciate our worldwide unique experience in assessing vector safety and efficacy in gene therapy and immune repertoire studies as well as assistance in associated regulatory demands. Thereby we provide highly sensitive technical platforms and bioinformatics to determine fusion sequences adjacent to known DNA or RNA fragments in minimal tissue samples. Applications include clonality and safety of viral vectors in gene therapy, on-target specificity of designer nucleases, immune repertoire studies in T and B cells and Next Generation Sequencing. Operating within several consortia (e.g. SCIDNET, CRACK IT) allows us to focus on our mission - to improve the safety of novel gene therapy products for patients and help reducing the reliance on animal models.
