Evolve Biomarker Lab
Lab Overview
The Evolve Biomarker Lab is a translational measurement platform for converting biological samples into clinically interpretable signals. Within UNIC Evolve, it functions as the interface between human biology, precision health, and deployable analytics, enabling the quantification of immune, metabolic, inflammatory, and cellular states with the rigor required for longitudinal studies, intervention trials, and biomarker-led innovation.
Research & Innovation Focus
The lab supports work that connects biological variation to measurable health trajectories. It enables immunophenotyping, inflammation profiling, metabolic assessment, cell-based readouts, multiplex biomarker discovery, and assay workflows that can inform precision medicine, longevity research, preventive health programmes, and biomedical product development. Its value lies not only in measurement, but in generating biological data that can be integrated with omics, clinical, environmental, and behavioural datasets.
Core Capabilities
Core capabilities include flow cytometry for cellular characterisation, multiplex protein and cytokine profiling, automated chemistry testing, absorbance-, fluorescence-, and luminescence-based plate assays, automated cell counting, magnetic bead workflows, microplate washing, and biosafety-enabled sample handling.

Applications & Impact
The lab supports precision health studies, immune monitoring, metabolic risk assessment, inflammation mapping, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical response profiling, biomarker discovery, and validation of wellness or clinical interventions. It is also relevant to biotech and pharma partners developing diagnostics, companion biomarkers, early efficacy indicators, or translational readouts for therapeutic and preventive programmes.
