Hello Bio launches ValidAbs™ following collaboration with University of Bristol KTP

29 Mar 2022

InnovateUK/UKRI logo.Hello Bio announced today the launch of ValidAbs™ - a unique highly-validated range of data-rich antibodies.

The ValidAb™ range is the result of an ongoing collaboration between Hello Bio and the University of Bristol, as part of a successful Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP). The partnership aims to bring novel, uniquely-validated research antibodies to scientists worldwide, improve quality standards in the industry, and advance research into neurodegenerative conditions.

Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) aim to help businesses to improve their competitiveness and productivity through the better use of knowledge, technology and skills within the UK knowledge base. This KTP project was funded by UKRI through Innovate UK.

The new ValidAbs™ range is carefully curated and comprehensively validated and includes primary antibodies, neuronal and astrocyte markers. The product range is launched with a detailed range of protocols and guides to further support researchers. Click here for more details about ValidAbs

There has been a lot of publicity re the growing 'data reproducibility crisis' affecting scientists today, with research suffering from poorly validated antibodies and the ensuing waste of valuable time in the lab. Our exciting collaboration with the University of Bristol has led us to launch ValidAbs™ -  a highly validated range of data-rich antibodies for life science research. With ValidAbs™, we can help to improve research outcomes, reduce animal wastage and increase trust in the quality of antibody-driven life science research. Steve Roome PhD, Managing Director, Hello Bio

Elek Molnar, Professor of Neuroscience at the University of Bristol is the knowledge base lead for the KTP. Professor Molnar commented:

I am delighted that we are able to support Hello Bio with our antibody expertise, enabling them to develop and embed this knowledge within their organisation, and I am delighted that our collaboration has resulted in the launch of this antibody range. I anticipate that it will have a real impact on researchers and reseach outcomes in the neuroscience field. 

Dr. Geraint Jones is the Knowledge Transfer Adviser for Greater Bristol and South Wales and commented:

“KTPs provide companies with in-house full-time Associates for up to three years, supported ½ a day a week by a world-leading academic team to transfer and embed key technologies and processes to underpin growth. It’s been a pleasure to work with HelloBio and the University of Bristol, in a partnership that’s really “Prepared for Success”, and I’m sure there is much more to come!
