New partnership to accelerate precision medicine research

Evosep, a Denmark-based provider of sample preparation solutions for mass spectrometry-based proteomics, has entered a strategic alliance with Thermo Fisher Scientific, a world leader in serving science. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in advancing robust high-throughput workflows for clinical proteomics by combining Evosep's cutting-edge sample separation technology with Thermo Fisher Scientific's state-of-the-art mass spectrometry instruments and global scale.

A strategic alliance aimed at growth

Rosy Lee, Vice President and General Manager, Life Science Mass Spectrometry, Thermo Fisher Scientific, stated in a press release celebrating the partnership:

"Thermo Fisher is committed to advancing scientific research and enabling breakthroughs in healthcare. This collaboration with Evosep will enable us to provide researchers with cutting-edge tools and technologies. Together, we can help researchers unlock the full potential of mass spectrometry in clinical proteomics."

The alliance will boost Evosep’s growth and development of new innovative clinical proteomics, representing a major opportunity for the development of new therapies. The company anticipates adding multiple new positions in the near future as its market expands, both geographically but also as the shift to precision medicine drives demand for its technology. To accommodate its growth, Evosep will relocate to new and larger facilities in Odense, Denmark, an emerging hub in the field of proteomics.

We are thrilled to embark on this collaborative journey with Thermo Fisher Scientific in the paradigm shift from research based applications to drug discovery and precision medicine. This strategic alliance represents a pivotal moment in advancing mass spectrometry-based clinical
proteomics for transformative impacts on healthcare,

Morten Bern CEO at Evosep

The strategic alliance between Thermo Fisher Scientific and Evosep is set to significantly influence the pharmaceutical industry by enhancing precision medicine research and facilitating the development of personalized therapies. This collaboration merges Evosep's innovative sample preparation solutions with Thermo Fisher Scientific's advanced mass spectrometry instruments, aiming to improve clinical proteomics workflows. Such advancements could lead to more efficient drug discovery and development processes, potentially reducing the time and cost to bring new therapies to market.

Positioned in Denmark's dynamic biotech ecosystem, the alliance benefits from a rich talent pool and innovative environment. This collaboration not only promises to accelerate growth and innovation within the sector but also strengthens Denmark's role as a global hub for biotechnology and pharmaceutical research.

A Thriving Ecosystem

Denmark has emerged as a hub for commercialising and scaling new innovations in biotechnology. Given their origins in the research ecosystem of Denmark, Evosep draws on a unique pipeline of talent and opportunities to collaborate with some of the many biotech companies in the country. Denmark’s biotech ecosystem is characterized by a dynamic interplay of research institutions, start-ups, and established companies, all driving innovation in the field.

According to the Association of the Pharmaceutical Association (LIF), the pharmaceutical industry accounts for more than 17 percent of total exports from Denmark, with ambitions for increasing this number over the coming decade. The Life Science sector continues to attract investment activity to Denmark, from larger corporate stakeholders to a range of niche companies in the industry.

Accelerate your growth in Europe through Denmark

Denmark is consistently ranked as one of the most innovative regions in Europe, with the Life Sciences sector generating opportunities for investors, start-ups, and larger corporate entities with a platform for growth. Being Scandinavia's most cost-efficient location with favourable business conditions, it is not surprising that many companies choose Denmark for their base in Europe or find highly innovative partners, such as Evosep, that have novel technologies ready to be scaled to a global market.

“From a cost-quality perspective, Denmark is extremely competitive. We have a highly educated workforce with collaborative academic institutions, ensuring that skills are up to date and knowledge is applied to industry as it emerges. This allows to move quickly from idea to commercial opportunity. As a digital frontrunner, Danish companies adopt digital and automation solutions quickly, meaning that companies can scale as new technologies are made available. With this partnership, Thermo Fisher and Evosep bring Danish solutions to a whole new set of partners,”
