About

  The core competence of BMGen is in the rapidly developing post-genomic era scientific discipline called functional genomics. Functional genomics explores changes and functions of genes in scope of large or even genome-wide gene-sets. These new research approaches, which became possible only after sequencing of the human genome was completed in 2003, have opened completely new avenues for academic research and offer new promising solutions for biotech and pharmaceutical companies.

Biochips are typically used to measure DNA copy number variation, mRNA or microRNA expression alterations or DNA-protein binding interactions in a genome-wide scale. Recombinant lentiviruses are used as carriers of a DNA piece, which expresses a desired gene in the cells or alternatively, produces a shRNA that switches off the expression of desired genes. This approach can directly identify relationships between gene function and a biological process or disease.

Functional genomics has revolutionized research and development concepts in practically all fields of life sciences and pharmaceutical research, generating multiple new approaches in the areas of pathway mapping, drug discovery, toxicity profiling, lead optimization and diagnostics. BMGen offers customers a chance to keep up with pace of rapidly evolving technologies, maintain a state-of-art R&D portfolio and outsource part of the research enabling customers to keep focus on their core expertise. We provide wide range of full service analyses, in which our work starts from the customer’s biological specimen or a gene list and we deliver customer the wanted biological information. BMGen also invites clients to partnerships, which encompass consultation with scientific experts, comprehensive analysis packages and solutions including multiple functional genomics platforms.
