Targos and Ultivue Partner to Incorporate Highly Standardized UltiMapper™ Tissue Multiplex Phenotypic Assays in Support of Clinical Research Services
Targos Molecular Pathology GmbH, a market leader in clinical biomarker services announced today a technology partnership with Ultivue, the innovation leader in multiplex tissue biomarker assays, to offer the biopharmaceutical industry new capabilities to improve the characterization of cancer patients’ samples selected for clinical research programs. UltiMapper multiplex immuno-histochemistry assays enable the precise identification of cellular phenotypes that can be associated to drug efficacy and further used to develop a companion diagnostic assay.
“UltiMapper assays are very modular by design, allowing for various levels of multiplexing and throughput, and supporting same day staining-to-data workflows,” stated Dr. Thomas Henkel, CEO of Targos. “The adoption of highly standardized multiplex tissue biomarker assays is a strategic fit with our mission to continuously improve the success of clinical trials and deliver exceptional value to our biopharma partners.”
Ultivue technologies and UltiMapper assays are widely used in tumor immune-profiling research strategies by the biomedical community to demonstrate the clinical utility of panels of markers. “Through our collaboration with Targos, the same panels can seamlessly be used in their existing setup to create a very effective continuum of translational and clinical research,” said Philippe Mourere, SVP Commercial Operations at Ultivue. “Targos also offers highly customizable UltiMapper panels that can be used in combination with the company’s broad menu of additional assays and end-to-end quality services.”
Additional details on the partnership will be communicated at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) Annual Meeting at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, MD on November 8 and 9, 2019 at the Ultivue booth #428.

About Ultivue
By developing a single set of novel, proprietary reagents used both for biomarker discovery (higher content, low throughput) and translational use (lower content, high throughput), Ultivue is connecting the insights gained from research directly into the pathology lab. Ultivue’s UltiMapper™ multiplexed assays applied to tissue biopsy samples enable simultaneous quantitation of multiple biomarkers with sub-cellular spatial resolution, while fitting completely within traditional IHC workflows. Translational and clinical researchers leverage UltiMapper™ assays to elucidate complex biology and demonstrate their clinical utility as precision medicine research tools. Ultivue is expanding its UltiMapper™ assay product portfolio and menu of contract research services to provide a comprehensive set of personalized medicine solutions for oncology research as well as other therapeutic areas.
