Ludesi wins prestigious contract

Bioinformatics solutions provider Ludesi has just signed a large contract with the renowned John Hopkins Bayview Proteomics Center in the US, for its complete image analysis processing of two-dimensional gels.

Ludesi’s gel image analysis obtained from two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis is a key technology within the growing field of expression proteomics.

“Ludesi offers by far, the industry’s most accurate option when it comes to 2D gel image analysis. Our technology is uncovering crucial information in 2D gel images that conventional 2D gel software doesn’t find because of analysis errors,” says Ola Forsstrom-Olsson, Ludesi’s CEO.

The Johns Hopkins Bayview Proteomics Center in Baltimore, US, is run by Jennifer Van Eyk, an associate professor in the departments of medicine, biological chemistry and biomedical engineering at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. She is also a Fellow of the American Heart Association, and a member of the editorial boards of a number of key scientific journals. Her research group focuses on the use and optimization of proteomic analysis of tissue and serum for the development of treatment and diagnostics for heart disease.

“The Johns Hopkins Bayview Proteomics Center and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine is world-renowned for scientific excellence and front-end applied medical research. It is an honor to work with such successful and skilled scientists,” Forsstrom-Olsson admits.
