The Institute and Allumiqs join forces to offer advanced bioanalytical solutions for research

Halifax, NS and Montreal, QC, May 5, 2025 – Allumiqs is excited to announce a new strategic partnership with The Research Institute of McGill University Health Centre (The Institute), a world-renowned biomedical and healthcare research centre. By combining their strengths, the two organizations aim to provide researchers with expanded access to cutting-edge bioanalytical services, helping accelerate discoveries in biopharma, biotech, and academia.

At the heart of the partnership is a shared commitment to advancing science through integrated, cross-platform solutions. Researchers will benefit from a streamlined “one-stop shop” that connects Allumiqs’ expertise in multiomics – proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics –  and advanced data analytics with The Institute’s state-of-the-art instrumentation, preclinical services, and specialized expertise housed within the Centre for Translational Biology (CTB) Technology Platforms.

One immediate advantage for researchers: Allumiqs’ customers will now have access to all The Institute’s Technology Platforms, including small animal imaging services through The Institute’s Small Animal Imaging Lab (SAIL) to support studies that link molecular insights with in vivo biological models. Research teams at The Institute will benefit from enhanced multiomics profiling and data integration services developed by Allumiqs, opening new possibilities for biomarker discovery, patient stratification, and mechanism-of-action research.

“Bringing together subject matter experts, services, and technologies in a collaborative ecosystem delivers exponential benefits to research teams,” explains Derek Gooderham, Chief Commercial Officer at Allumiqs. “This partnership with The Institute helps simplify procurement, streamline projects, and most importantly, empowers scientists with faster access to comprehensive solutions.”

The collaboration also supports The Institute’s 2030 Vision of advancing precision health across the life course by enhancing access to next-generation multiomic technologies and fostering partnerships that strengthen the long-term sustainability of its platforms.

“This partnership expands our service offering, fosters new scientific collaborations, and accelerates discovery and innovation across sectors,” said Patrice Vaillancourt, Manager, Operations and Platforms at The Institute. “By joining forces with Allumiqs, we are better positioned to deliver cross-platform, integrated capabilities that help researchers turn complex data into meaningful insights.”
