Parasite-based Proteomics

Precision Proteomics Services


At Biogenity, we use proteomics to dissect the biology of parasites and their interactions with hosts, enabling deeper insight into infection mechanisms and supporting advances in parasitic disease research.

Parasites are organisms that live in or on a host organism. There are three main classes: ectoparasites, helminths, and protozoa, such as louse, roundworms, and Sarcodina, respectively. Understanding the parasitic nature of these organisms is important for various reasons, such as fighting parasitic diseases like malaria. Proteomics provides a strong tool to understand the parasites' underlying biology and the infection they cause.

If you’d like to learn more, we are happy to discuss your project and help you get the most out of your parasite proteomics analysis.

Guiding you from sample to biology

Our experts are ready to help you with your parasite research. Ideally, we set up an online meeting where we get to learn about your project. Most parasites have only been subjected to limited research compared with other organisms, such as mice, so we will investigate what proteomics databases for bioinformatics are available, how much of the proteome can be found, and the quality hereof before our meeting. We can also use your FASTA files if you have performed genomic or transcriptomic studies.

We invite you to an online consultation, during which we can address your questions and offer an expert assessment of how our proteomics strategies for parasites can be customized to meet your research goals.


Sample preparation and sample analysis

Sample preparation of parasite-based proteins

Different methods can be required to extract the proteome, which is dependent on the parasite class, when performing the sample preparation of parasites. Biogenity always uses Standard Operating Procedures and provides you with the methods used to analyze your samples, providing transparency.

Biogenity’s team works with the highest standards to ensure the best quality handling and analysis of your samples. We ensure that every aspect of the workflow is executed by specialized personnel.

More than 10,000 proteins in a study

When analyzing parasites, you can sometimes have the challenge of limited material. At Biogenity, you benefit from instruments for mass spectrometry by Thermo Fisher Scientific and a laboratory specializing in low input samples. So, whether you have limited material or want deep proteome coverages, we got you covered.

Because many parasites are far less studied than model organisms such as mice, we also help you find the best protein databases for the bioinformatic analysis of your samples.

Data analysis, including report, figures, and tables

Insight into your parasite-based proteomics analysis

Data analysis is where you get the overview of your parasite-based proteome analysis. You will receive an easy-to-follow report describing the data analysis and results hereof, step-by-step, together with a folder containing all tables and figures. To ensure that you have the material needed, we always provide a vast number of figures and tables.



Let us be your data scientist

Biogenity’s data analysis is much more than simply a data analysis. It offers an insight into what biology is, e.g., potentially activated or deactivated in the different conditions, without the hassle of postprocessing the data. Our team does it all: data filtration, outlier testing, variance plotting with PCA, clustering, and the statistics - and that is just with the statistical data analysis.

Delivery and discussion

Delivery, post-consultation and discussion

At the conclusion of our parasite proteomics analysis, we ensure a seamless transition from discovery to application. We deliver detailed reports and data, followed by a post-delivery consultation to discuss your study's insights and findings.


What to expect during post-consultation:

  • Explanation of the different steps in the sample analysis
  • Discussion of the data
  • Explanation of the different steps in the data analysis
  • Q&A to the report(s)

Together, we ensure that you have the best prerequisite for your further research. The consultation can also be used to explore the next step, whether you are looking to expand the project with additional omics studies or validate the results.
