The translation of biomedical discoveries from animal models to human applications is a critical bridge in the journey of drug development. NeoVentures Biotechnology’s Aptamarker platform emerges as a transformative force in this process, offering a unique solution to the challenges faced in traditional antibody development. In this blog, we delve into the intricacies of translating biomarkers from animals to humans, showcasing how Aptamarkers, with their distinct advantages, are revolutionizing this crucial aspect of biomedical research.
The Immune Tolerance Advantage of Aptamarkers
Traditional antibody development often encounters challenges related to immune tolerance, limiting the detection of orthologous epitopes—the equivalent structures across species. Aptamarkers, with their lack of immune tolerance, overcome this barrier, allowing them to detect a broader range of orthologous epitopes. This unique characteristic means that Aptamarkers can recognize epitopes that would be eliminated during antibody development, leading to a more extensive and inclusive biomarker detection capability.
Aptamarkers vs. Antibodies: A Quantitative Advantage
The lack of immune tolerance in Aptamarker development translates into a quantitative advantage. Simply put, more Aptamarkers can bind to a given biomarker compared to antibodies. This abundance of binding opportunities amplifies the potential for translation between animal trials and human trials. The broader recognition spectrum ensures that the biomarker landscape identified in animal models aligns more closely with the human context, providing researchers with a more accurate and translatable foundation.
Training Aptamarkers in Animal Trials
The versatility of Aptamarkers extends beyond their enhanced biomarker detection capabilities. Aptamarkers can be trained in animal trials, allowing researchers to lay the groundwork for subsequent human trials. This proactive approach enables earlier screening for treatment effects, enhancing the efficiency of the drug development process. The ability to fine-tune and optimize Aptamarkers in animal models ensures a smoother transition to human applications, reducing the risk of unforeseen challenges during clinical trials.
The Aptamarker Platform: A New Science
The Aptamarker platform represents a paradigm shift in the field of biomarker development. As a new science, it opens doors to innovative possibilities and applications that were once hindered by the limitations of traditional methods. The unique features of Aptamarkers invite collaboration and exploration, encouraging researchers and partners to contribute their thoughts and ideas to expand the horizons of this transformative technology.

Dr. Gregory Penner academic training was a blend of very practical plant breeding theory combined with molecular biology. He has used this blend of biology and mathematics to first develop and lead a cereal biotechnology research team with the government of Canada and subsequently as a global research leader with Monsanto Inc. He has been a thought leader in aptamer development globally for the last twenty years as CEO and President of NeoVentures. He has led this company to financial stability without outside investment with an integrated approach to aptamer discovery and commercialization. In 2015, he co- founded a second company, NeoNeuro in Paris France, focused on an innovative approach to identify Aptamarkers for complex diseases.
