City of Hope

American Laboratory Products Company (ALPCO) was founded in 1991 as an importer and distributor of immunoassay based products for the North American life science markets. Our origin began through an exclusive partnership with one European manufacturer and has since grown into a premier channel representing over 60 collaborating partners from around the globe. In 2007, we expanded our capabilities with the launch of our organically developed product line focused in the area of diabetes and obesity research while also remaining true to our roots by continuing to provide “Immunoassays Beyond the Ordinary.”

As the research and diagnostic endeavors of our customers continue to evolve, so does ALPCO’s commitment to providing high quality products and superior customer support. Over the years we’ve expanded our offering into applications for HPLC, LC-MS/MS, purified antibodies, recombinant proteins, flow cytometry reagents and recently launched our new STELLUX® line of chemiluminescent based detection systems in 2013. Additionally, our promise to provide optimal support continues to progress through a growing network of valuable online resources, collaborative relationships, and customized technical solutions. While our vision has evolved to serve a broader segment of life science research and healthcare professionals, our mission to deliver “Scientific Solutions for Life” remains the same.

Kinexus Bioinformatics Corporation maps and monitors the molecular communications networks of living cells for biomedical research into the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of human diseases. In particular, the company tracks enzymes called protein kinases that control other proteins by carrying out their phosphorylation at regulatory sites known as phosphosites. Phosphosites act as on/off switches for proteins. Their malfunction has been linked to more than 400 human diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and inflammation.

Currently, Kinexus measures the presence and activation states of over 650 different protein kinases and other regulatory proteins and many of their phosphosites in cell and tissue specimens through our integrated platform of cell culture, protein microarray, immunoblotting, mass spectrometry and immunohistochemistry services.

These innovative proprietary services utilize unique and stringent screening methods to facilitate the discovery and validation of biomarkers, drug targets and the rapid exclusion of inappropriate drug leads in the early stages of the drug discovery process. This is further augmented by a suite of open source, online bioinformatics services that are offered by Kinexus. Our bioinformatics studies are helping us to create new tools for biomedical research that include enzymes, antibodies and peptides.

For over 12 years, Kinexus has provided our unique services to over 1600 laboratories in 35 countries.

RiboWiz Scientific is a digital biotechnology company integrating both A.I. software and life science. RiboWiz offers customized service and cloud-based subscription licensing to accurately predict and maximize recombinant protein production for life science companies using proprietary RiboScan™ software platform.

Creating high-value recombinant proteins, e.g. biologics, enzymes, vaccines, antibodies, and pesticides, is important to life science companies across a broad range of industrial applications. For example, proteins can be over-expressed for use in basic research, used as insecticides, or used as targets for small molecule drugs or antibodies for the treatments of AIDS, diabetes, cancer and other diseases.

Many R&D projects are stymied by conventional protein expression methods that require multiple trial-and-error laboratory testing to produce proteins at the desired level. RiboScan™ provides more of the desired protein candidates with fewer folding errors and protein aggregations by simulating and modulating ribosomal speed and accuracy during protein synthesis.

Unlike current alternatives that require synthesis and laboratory testing of hundreds of genes construct, RiboScan™ accurately predicts protein expression levels and designs an optimized gene construct with minimal subsequent laboratory testing. This significantly accelerates clients’ R&D projects, reduces costs, expedites innovations, and enhances protein quality to make clients more competitive in bringing multiple novel compounds to market faster.

RiboWiz’s mission is to help clients successfully produce high-value, difficult-to-make recombinant proteins faster for new treatments of diseases and also for the advancement of medicine and biotechnology.
