In today’s economy future planning is essential. This award is for the company with the highest number of antibodies which are the only available one to a target - Atlas Antibodies.
From the data generated through CiteAb we are able to gain a really clear picture of the way antibodies are used around the world. We can tell which countries are investing most in research using antibodies, which companies are seeing growth or decline, which antibodies are most successful and which areas of research are seeing growth.
Atlas Antibodies has been selected for this award based on our analysis of all the proteins in the human genome, for which we’ve worked out how many antibodies are available to each protein.
This award recognises Atlas Antibodies as the company which has produced the most antibodies that are ‘first in class’ for a particular target - making them the only antibody available. The company focuses on rabbit polyclonals generated as part of the human protein atlas project – giving it a huge number of unique products and therefore a large competitive advantage.
Andrew Chalmers, founder of CiteAb, said: “We’ve been keeping a close eye on Atlas Antibodies – the company has seen sustained large growth in market share in the past four to five years and is strong across Europe, especially in Scandinavia and its home country of Sweden. Atlas Antibodies is doing a great job of making novel products available to researchers, making them a very exciting company in today’s market.”
