Data quality is decided in the surgery room.
Tumor tissue starts changing the moment it loses its blood supply. That is why we standardized our collection: median <12 minutes, on every sample, at every site, since 2002.
Unique Database There was no data that matched our ambitions. So, we created our own.
An in-depth multi-omics analysis of matched tumor and normal tissue, combined with comprehensive clinical data, is the foundation of Indivumed’s R&D programs.
Collected and processed in a standardized way in global clinical collaboration over decades, we can now draw on our proprietary database IndivuType® that reflects the molecular reality of cancer at a level never seen before. This is the key to our cutting-edge data analytics for innovative target and drug discovery.

Twelve minutes make all the difference.
It takes years for novel drugs to reach the market, however, the first twelve minutes in the collection, processing, and conservation process are crucial. Research shows that minimizing ischemia time has a major impact on the integrity of tissue samples and is very important to preserve the expression of otherwise undetectable therapeutic targets.

Tissue collection SOPs Special surgery procedures to protect sample integrity
While surgeons focus on removing the tumor and pathologists on subsequent tissue diagnostics, there is routinely no attention to the conservation of patient material that could be used for further biomedical research.
Together with specialists in our global clinical network, we have developed a series of special standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the collection and preservation of tissue samples. These procedures ensure pre-analytically controlled specimens with a very high sample integrity.
