The mission of the Single Cell Biomarkers UTechS (scBiomarkers UTechS) is to facilitate biomedical research through high-tech equipment for functional cell assays, multi-color phenotyping, cell sorting, profiling of proteins and transcripts, and single cell multi-OMICS. One of the scBiomarker’s strengths is its L2/L3 laboratory for handling human and infectious material. This configuration and the diversity of its technologies ensure support tailored to all the needs of a biomedical project.
Our support covers all steps of the project, spanning from experimental design, through sample processing, to data analysis. Our current technological portfolio includes 25 cutting-edge technologies installed in 6 dedicated laboratories. Our expertise covers:
- Cell culture and functional cell assays under controlled gas composition (in Bsl2+ environment)
- Cell phenotyping and sorting
- Multiplex and ultrasensitive protein quantification (immunoassays)
- RNA/DNA profiling in bulk
- single cell multi-OMICS
- Data analysis (sc RNA-Seq, multidimensional flow cytometry)
- Advanced immunomonitoring
The equipment is installed in six dedicated laboratories, enabling optimal experimental setup and sample analysis. A significant part of the equipment is situated within two fully equipped Bsl2+ cell culture laboratories allowing manipulation of human and infectious material.
Since 2011 the scBiomarkers UTechS is ISO9001 certified, providing quality assurance of our service. We are an IBISA-labeled platform.
scBiomarkers UTechS is highly collaborative platform, both nationally and internationally. We are a long-standing partner of Milieu Interieur Project, as well an active member and Center of Excellence of the Federation of Clinical Immunology laboratories (FOCIS).
The scBiomarkers UTechS ongoing developments focus on various novel pipelines for single cell multi-OMICS analysis, and on studies of immune profiles for the discovery of biomarkers in vaccinology and in different pathological contexts.
The scBiomarkers UTechS is affiliated with the Center for Technological Resources and Research (C2RT) and to the Immunology Department of the Institut Pasteur.
HOW TO ACCESS: The scBiomarkers UTechS an open-access facility that welcomes projects and teams from the Institut Pasteur, from the International Network of the Institut Pasteur, from academia, hospitals and industry. It hosts a large number of fundamental research projects, and those with various biomedical topics: infectious diseases, cancer, allergy, autoimmunity, transplantation, etc.
