Proteomic Tools to Advance Your Infectious Disease Research

Infectious diseases are transmitted from person-to-person or from animals to humans. The diseases are caused by bacteria and viruses, and cause an immune response that is often characterized by inflammation. These pathogens can be transmitted by air, physical contact, or touching an item that an infected person has touched. Infectious diseases can become an epidemic if there is a sudden increase in cases, or a pandemic if the disease infects many people across several continents. Also known as communicable diseases, infectious diseases are defined by a value called R-naught (R0) to gauge how severe an outbreak may be. The R0 reflects how many people a single infected person is likely to infect.

RayBiotech provides a wide range of advanced tools that allow researchers to gain a deeper understanding of diseases, from their causes to their potential cures / vaccine development. Disease proteomic research tools are specifically designed to help researchers better understand the proteins involved in diseases. From long-standing diseases, such as cancer and Alzheimer's, to recent pandemics, such as COVID-19 and Monkeypox, we pride ourselves on developing innovative research tools and services as soon as (or even before) researchers realize they need them.
