12. Biomarker Development Center
• A focus on application of innovation, not on biomarker discovery or new technologies
• The innovation is a clinically validated and applicable biomarker test method
• Bring together available state-of-the art biomarker expertise in an industrial process flow
• Sponsors and end-users define objectives (a.o. pharma, diagnostics, patients)
• Shared biomarker R&D in Open Innovation Network based on Public-Private-Partnership

EMT characterized by :
- altered cell morphology
- breakdown of cell junctions
- increased motility / invasion

21. Next Generation Life Sciences - Case study
Current data insufficient to reliably identify bona-fide miRNA targets
Need to improve understanding of effect miRNA on cancer cell metastasis
Need to combine transcriptomics, proteomics and dedicated bioinformatics

22. Proteomics approach
• Bottom-up proteomics (shotgun)
• Protein identification
• Differential protein expression profiling
Established (>300 projects done)
• Targeted proteomics
• Absolute/relative quantitation
Emerging (5 projects ongoing)
• Top-down proteomics
• Intact protein characterization
• Differential PTM analysis

Results
Gene ontology: cellular localization
• 3,824 proteins identified in a sample (98% cell specific)
• 2,550 proteins quantified and used for differential
analysis
• 178 proteins differentially expressed due to treatment:
(138 up, 40 down)
