About Us
Proteomics International Laboratories Ltd (ASX:PIQ) is a pioneering medical technology company operating at the forefront of predictive diagnostics and bio-analytical services. Founded in 2001, the Company specialises in proteomics – the industrial scale study of the structure and function of proteins.
Proteomics International’s mission is to improve the quality of lives by the creation and application of innovative tools that enable the improved treatment of disease.
Proteomics International is a wholly-owned subsidiary and trading name of Proteomics International Laboratories Ltd (PILL; ASX: PIQ).
Proteomics International’s business model is to bring its pipeline of novel diagnostic tests, exemplified by PromarkerD, PromarkerEndo, PromarkerEso and OxiDx, to major markets across the world, and offset the cash burn from R&D and product development through its analytical services revenue, coupled with the R&D tax incentive rebate. This diversified model enables the group to make optimum use of its resources.
Proteomics International’s activities have evolved during FY24 and now fall into three strategic areas:
1. Commercialisation of our precision diagnostic pipeline: We are progressing our suite of tests towards full market adoption.
2. Precision diagnostic tests in development: New tests are under development, aiming to solve unmet medical needs.
3. Specialist accredited analytical services: We are offering cutting-edge accredited services on a commercial scale.
Proteomics International was established in 2001, and is now recognised as a global leader in the field of proteomics. It operates from state-of-the art facilities at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research in Perth, Western Australia.
What is proteomics?
Proteomics is the large-scale mapping of the structure and function of proteins.
- Unlike our genes, the protein make-up in our bodies differs from cell to cell and changes considerably over time. For example, a cancerous cell will have significantly different proteins to a healthy cell.
- The caterpillar and butterfly have exactly the same genes but differences in their proteins cause dramatic differences during the lifecycle.
