Innovative immunomonitoring

We offer  a immunomonitoring platform for research, pre-clinical and clinical studies which includes cellular phenotyping, functional assays, circulating and secreted biomarker discovery assays, HLA typing and  generic diagnostic. We are expert in harmonizing immunomonitoring protocols to reduce variations introduced by differences in logistics from sampling to analyses of the samples.
