biOasis Technologies Inc. (BTI.V) is delighted to acknowledge and recognize Dr. (Leigh) Anderson, one of its scientific advisors, for his recent award, the 2009 Distinguished Achievement award in Proteomic Science. This award is given by the Human Proteome Organization to highlight outstanding achievements within the field of Proteomic Science. Leigh is considered one of the early pioneers in Proteomic Science and is clearly recognized as a world-leading expert in this field. Leigh’s early work with identifying and measuring human proteins dates back to the 1980’s and has continued with several recent technological and intellectual breakthroughs regarding the human proteome. One of Leigh’s major accomplishments is the invention of the new method called Stable Isotope Standards and Capture by Anti-Peptide Antibodies (SISCAPA) that allows multiplexed quantification of biomarkers in human blood plasma using robust and sensitive mass spectrometric analysis. biOasis is very fortunate to have such expertise within its science team.
“We are delighted to have high caliber Scientists such as Leigh on our team,” says CEO Rob Hutchison. “A very big part of our mandate over the past year has been to attract world recognized scientists like Leigh to help us attain our goal of delivering a biomarker to help physicians diagnose Alzheimer’s, a disease that is growing with epidemic proportions. Leigh, along with another member of our science team, Dr. Terry Pearson, are very near completion of the new SISCAPA blood plasma test for biOasis to measure and validate p97 as a biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease. This award provides recognition from within the industry as to Leigh’s stature and scientific contributions. biOasis congratulates Leigh and his family on achieving this award!”
