Diagnostics Development Services

As a research services provider, Protheragen understands the critical importance of early and accurate detection of ophthalmic diseases in driving the development of innovative therapeutics. We are committed to providing our customers with a one-stop ophthalmic disease therapy development service.

Diagnostics Development in Ophthalmic Diseases

The development of diagnostics for ophthalmic diseases involves a comprehensive journey of researching, evaluating, and validating diagnostic tools, biomarkers, and imaging methods for eye-related conditions. This intricate process entails leveraging state-of-the-art technologies, creating pertinent animal models, and meticulously assessing diagnostic efficacy to seamlessly transition innovative solutions from the lab to clinical settings.

The foundation of ophthalmic diagnostics development rests upon delving into the intricate biology of the eye and the ailments that impact it. This encompasses exploring ocular anatomy, visual physiology, and the immunological reactions linked to different eye conditions. Profound expertise in molecular biology, genetics, and bioinformatics plays a pivotal role in crafting diagnostic assays capable of identifying particular biomarkers, genetic mutations, and disease indicators.

Technologies for Ophthalmic Diseases Diagnostics Development

Molecular Diagnostics

Molecular diagnostics are pivotal in the advancement of ophthalmic diseases diagnostics. Innovations like polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) enable the identification of precise genetic mutations linked to hereditary eye disorders. These cutting-edge technologies have transformed the landscape of diagnosing conditions such as retinitis pigmentosa and Leber's congenital amaurosis.

Imaging Technologies

Advanced imaging technologies are essential in ophthalmic diagnostics. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides high-resolution cross-sectional images of the retina, aiding in the diagnosis of conditions like macular degeneration and glaucoma. Fundus autofluorescence (FAF) imaging offers insights into retinal pigment epithelium dysfunction, particularly in diseases like age-related macular degeneration.
