NIH Awards MoBiTec's Partner BellBrook Labs Phase II Grant

GÖTTINGEN, Germany - May 17, 2018 - PRLog -- The National Institutes of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) recently awarded BellBrook Labs a $1 million phase II Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant to develop new assays to detect cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) levels in biological samples. The assays will be used to discover, develop, and monitor new treatments for autoimmune diseases and cancer by targeting the cGAS-STING pathway.

BellBrook's HTS Assays
Universal HTS assays for enzymes using direct detection of nucleotides and homogenous fluorescent readouts. Targets include Kinases, ATPases, Phosphodiesterases, Methyltransferases, Glycosyltransferases, GTPases, and more!

Four Assays Cover Thousands of Target Enzymes.

Universal, high throughput screening platform for enzymes based on direct detection of nucleotide enzyme products with far red FI, FP and TR-FRET readouts.

Transcreener is a universal assay method that can be used across entire families of nucleotide-dependent enzymes. Rather than using separate assays for a multitude of specific reaction products, such as phosphorylated proteins or lipids, a single nucleotide detection assay can be used for all of the enzymes that generate a common nucleotide product.
