Genome and Biomarker Sciences

Leveraging diverse expertise in measurement science to be partners in problem solving.

Our journey for cutting-edge medicines for patients.

The Genome and Biomarker Sciences (GBx) unit advances targets rooted in human genetics and genomics. We invest in innovative genomic and biomarker technologies for maximal pipeline impact. We leverage disease-relevant tissue samples to identify and apply genomic and protein biomarkers to inform clinical decision-making and exploratory research. Our goal is to translate the best human genetic targets into actionable biology.

Worldwide operations​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Human genetics helps to bring medications to life by leveraging:
  • Genetic targets
  • Functional genomics
  • Profiling and biomarkers
  • Data science and operations

Our organization​​​​​​​​​​​​

GBx's interconnected functions collaborate to drive the discovery of clinical trial process forward:
  • Early discovery genetics and genetics London – Leverages the power of human-validated genetic targets, large well-curated clinical trial datasets, and data derived from partnerships collected around the world.
  • Genome sciences – Establish and deploy functional genomics platforms to enable high-throughput biology. 
  • Discovery and clinical pharmacogenomics – Leverages high-through genetic and genomic technologies to discover and validate meaningful biomarkers.
  • Integrated operations – Provides operational excellence to efficiently execute on genomic biomarkers in all clinical trials.
  • Profiling and expression – Provides tissue-based analysis of human disease and model systems to enable mechanistic target validation, proof-of-activity and biomarker strategies. 
  • Oncology genomics and analytics – Apply analytics to pre-clinical and clinical oncology data.
  • Translational molecular biomarkers – Develop, validate and deploy biomarker assays for all therapeutic areas and all stages of clinical development. 
  • Pacific translational biomarkers – Develop and deploy molecular and imaging biomarkers to enable early clinical development or reverse translation; leverage Singapore external collaborations to advance our pipeline.
