Biognosys Supports Cancer Scout, a Large-Scale Multi-Omics Research Project to Accelerate Personalized Cancer Medicine
12.10.2021 09:00:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Biognosys, a leader in next-generation proteomics solutions for drug discovery and development, announces today that it is supporting Cancer Scout as Proteomics provider.
Cancer Scout is a large-scale joint research project led by University Medical Center Göttingen and Siemens Healthineers. The project received funding of EUR 10 million by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) 1.
The objective of Cancer Scout is to provide a new Artificial Intelligence tool for precision medicine in the fight against cancer. The research project will analyze and combine genomics, proteomics, and pathology data through Artificial Intelligence to generate a "digital biopsy" of molecular changes in tumors. Identifying these molecular changes can support early and accurate cancer diagnosis and predict personalized therapies for a patient’s tumor.
Oliver Rinner, PhD, CEO and founder of Biognosys states: “We are excited to be part of this visionary multi-omics research project and contribute to the development of more personalized clinical diagnostics and therapies for cancer with our proteomics solutions.”
Biognosys was selected as the provider for the Proteomics data analysis in Cancer Scout, based on its unique technologies and workflows for large-scale proteomics, comprehensive quality standards for clinical research, and extensive expertise in precision oncology.
Biognosys’ discovery proteomics platform utilizes proprietary, patented Hyper Reaction Monitoring (HRM™) mass spectrometry technology to quantify complete proteomes with unmatched precision, depth, and reproducibility. This solution can be applied with high throughput in large-scale studies involving thousands of samples from a broad range of clinical sample types.
Professor Philipp Ströbel, Director of Pathology at the University Hospital Göttingen, comments: “Combining digital pathology with proteomics and other omics data is essential to identify the full spectrum of molecular changes in tumors and enable truly personalized cancer care.”
Christian Wolfrum, Head of New Business Development and Planning at Siemens Healthineers, adds: “We are excited to work with Biognosys to generate novel scientific insights in Cancer Scout and translate these into personalized cancer care solutions for clinical practice.”

Study: Heatwaves Increase Cough Urge, Which Salt Aerosols Reduce15.9.2026 16:15:00 EEST | Press release
SC Therapeutics, with University North Carolina, Imperial College London, and Boston University, announced publication on Tuesday in Nature Scientific Reports of results from a multi-institutional study indicating that the aridity inherent in heatwaves increases cough hypersensitivity in human airways by collapsing mucus onto cilia in a manner common to chronic respiratory diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, and asthma. The researchers find that alkaline aerosols of magnesium salts reverse mucosal collapse for several hours, and reduce cough hypersensitivity as reflected in placebo-adjusted suppression of daily cough bout rate (59%, p=0.03) and persistence of suppression post treatment for 1 to 3 weeks in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 10 refractory chronic cough patients. “Paris recorded 5,764 excess deaths between 17 June and 2 July, a period of time during which we report atmospheric aridity in the city increased approximately 3-fold relative to the 35 year a
ADM’s Fourth Annual Regenerative Agriculture Report Highlights Growing Resilience Across the Food System15.9.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
ADM (NYSE: ADM), a global leader in innovative solutions from nature, today released its fourth annual regenerative agriculture report, showing how its programs are supporting farmers, strengthening agricultural supply chains and delivering measurable environmental outcomes around the world. “Resilience starts on the farm.
