How can we help you?

Modern mass spectrometry developments hold significant potential for the discovery and sensitive detection of innovative (sets of) biomarkers which will allow rapid and accurate diagnosis of multiple disorders simultaneously in a single patient’s small-volume sample. Whereas mass spectrometry imaging is increasingly being used in the clinic, it is only gradually finding its way to pathology. 

​

ProteoFormiX is specialized in mass spectrometry imaging analyses with a focus on, but not restricted to FFPE samples. We employ state-of-the-art and proprietary technology to identify disease-associated proteoforms (e.g., peptides) in clinically sampled human tissues and biofluids. 

​

ProteoFormiX' technology is unique as it represents a rare convergence of scientific innovation and clinical relevance. It transforms the existing pathology archives, locked up in huge FFPE biobanks all over the planet, into a living resource for discovery and diagnosis, offering the potential to revolutionize how we classify disease and tailor treatment.

Founder and industry support

ProteoFormiX was founded by Prof. Dr. Peter Verhaert in 2017. Peter Verhaert is part-time professor of the Department Imaging and Pathology (Translational Cell & Tissue Research Unit) at the University of Leuven Faculty of Medicine, Belgium, and visiting professor at the University of Witwatersrand, South Africa.

 

ProteoFormiX formerly resided at JLABS@BE, the European Johnson & Johnson Innovation Center and was founded with the support of BlueHealth InnovationEIT HealthFlanders Innovation and Entrepreneurship (VLAIO) and Imec.istart. Since 2025, ProteoFormiX' laboratory is located at the largest academic hospital in Belgium, i.e. the hospital of the university of Leuven.
