FIMM Genomics Targeted Biomarker assays / Biomedicum Functional Genomics Unit (FuGU)

 Overview of the Services

We are one of the nodes of the HiLIFE Genome Analysis Infrastructure (HGI) at the University of Helsinki, and offer the following profiling services: 

NanoString nCounter targeted gene expression analysis: This biomarker analysis service is based on nCounter technology multiplexing up to 800 gene expression targets and using direct digital detection chemistry. Designed to target specific gene subsets, NanoString’s probe panels enable quantification of target RNA transcripts by a direct count of the fluorescent signals. Data analysis can be easily done by researcher using NanoString's own analysis tools.

Olink targeted biomarker protein analysis: This service is based on detecting specific protein expression by antibodies that are linked with oligos. Each protein is detected by two antibodies, which are linked with complementary oligos. Binding of the oligos can be detected and protein expression from up to 90 proteins from 88 samples is quantified using qPCR.
