Mainz Biomed and Thermo Fisher Scientific sign collaboration agreement
Development of next-generation colorectal cancer screening product for global markets
Mainz Biomed N.V. announced a collaborative agreement with Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (NYSE: TMO), through its subsidiary Life Technologies Corporation (“Thermo Fisher”), a world leader in supplying life sciences solutions and services.
The collaboration agreement will enable Mainz Biomed and Thermo Fisher to jointly develop and potentially commercialize Mainz Biomed’s Next Generation colorectal cancer screening product. The collaboration will harness Thermo Fisher’s powerful technologies, instrumentation and information translation systems to enable Mainz Biomed to develop the proprietary assays for its mRNA-based next-generation CRC screening tests which are redefining standards in early cancer detection. Mainz Biomed’s flagship non-invasive test not only targets the early detection of colorectal cancer but also focuses on precancerous lesions, particularly advanced adenomas, demonstrating significant clinical success in both US and European trials.
The collaboration will leverage combined capabilities to deliver testing solutions being developed at Mainz Biomed’s laboratories in Mainz, Germany.
Guido Baechler, CEO of Mainz Biomed, said: “This collaboration with Thermo Fisher will be instrumental to our goal to bring to market a home collection colorectal screening tool with highly effective detection of adenomas. Our product development will be greatly enhanced by Thermo Fisher’s knowledge and scalable, class-leading technologies, providing both partners with a means to accelerate the availability of an innovative new test for colorectal cancer screening around the world.”
Peter Jacobs, Director, EMEA Clinical Business Development, Thermo Fisher Scientific, said: “We are excited at the prospect of working with Mainz Biomed on their next generation screening test and are confident that together we will be able to achieve rapid progress and deliver innovative new assays for the global clinical marketplace.”
