BIOINFORMATICS SERVICES

Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) has significantly advanced biological sciences by generating vast amounts of data at unprecedented speeds. This technology has revolutionized fields such as genomics, transcriptomics, metagenomics, and epigenetics, expanding our understanding of complex biological systems and driving scientific discovery. However, the extensive data generated requires programming skills and bioinformatics expertise to deliver comprehensive analysis and insights.

Labena’s bioinformatics team offers statistical and bioinformatics services to help process large volumes of sequencing data. Our services include study design, pipeline development, data analysis, interactive visualization, and data interpretation, providing tailored solutions to meet your research needs. By continually upgrading our knowledge and expertise, our bioinformatics team supports clients and partners through every stage of their project, from initial planning to final results.

ENVIRONMENTAL DNA ANALYSIS

Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis involves studying DNA present in the environment, offering a fast and efficient method to identify the presence and relative abundance of organisms in various ecosystems. This analysis provides valuable insights into biodiversity, ecosystem health, and the impact of human activity on natural environments.

Labena’s eDNA Labs, located in Zagreb, serves as both a service and research and development laboratory within the Labena Group. Through advanced analytical methods and innovative technologies, Labena’s expert teams contribute to research and innovation in environmental science.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and Development is a registered research group within Labena. We offer our partners and clients services in managing research and development projects, consulting on the use of EU funds, and facilitating contractual relationships with manufacturers in high-tech research and development.

CLINICAL DIAGNOSTICS BASED ON TRANSLATION MEDICINE

Translational medicine represents an innovative approach in medical research, aiming to accelerate the transition of fundamental scientific insights into practical clinical applications. This integrative approach facilitates the implementation of novel diagnostic methods and therapies, substantially enhancing patient care.

Traditionally, clinical diagnostics rely on clinical studies, laboratory analyses, and morphological observations. Translational medicine, however, incorporates extensive genetic and molecular data, deepening our understanding of complex disease mechanisms. This integration aids in identifying novel biomarkers, setting therapeutic objectives, and enables personalized treatment strategies tailored to individual patients.

Labena’s laboratory team includes molecular biologists, genetic engineers, and bioinformatics experts, all working with advanced equipment such as Next Generation Sequencing, Single-Cell Sequencing Analyzers, and ddPCR technology for fast and precise diagnostics. Our comprehensive services cover genetic testing for rare diseases, early risk assessment for individuals with heightened disease susceptibility, and personalized treatment plans based on a patient’s unique genetic profile. We provide these services to public healthcare institutions, hospitals, academic and research institutions, and pharmaceutical companies involved in translational clinical diagnostics for clinical studies.
