Protagen signs collaboration with QIAGEN to develop novel protein-based companion diagnostics for autoimmune therapies

Protagen AG has recently entered into a long-term collaboration agreement with QIAGEN targeting the development of novel protein-based companion diagnostics for autoimmune disorders. Under the terms of the agreement, QIAGEN will gain access to the proprietary SeroTag technology platform of Protagen, which enables the discovery and validation of novel protein-based marker panels. Such markers hold great promise for the development into companion diagnostics to guide treatment decisions in various autoimmune disorders. The synergistic combination of the unique expertise of QIAGEN and Protagen in the development and commercialization of companion diagnostics will offer a complete solution for pharmaceutical and biotech companies targeting the development of new therapeutic compounds, diagnostic or companion diagnostic tests in the area of autoimmune disorders.
