Automatization of Immunohistochemistry Data Analysis for Protocol Validation
This presentation was given by Marie Gerus-Durand, Principal Scientist & Validation Engineer at Cerba Research Montpellier at the JMP Discovery Summit Europe.
Cerba Research is a global company providing high-quality, specialized analytical and diagnostic solutions for clinical trials. Cerba Research Montpellier develops customized immunohistochemistry protocols to detect the expression of selected targets on patients’ tissue sections.
To be used in clinical trials, these protocols must meet the regulatory agencies’ criteria to ensure that the protocol will allow consistent results on precious patients’ samples. With the diversity of parameters evaluated and the types of evaluation possible in implementing these custom protocols, automating data analysis became a need.
Thanks to various JMP® tools, we have developed an automated analysis that saves time and homogenizes protocol performance reports by including statistical and graphical data in a Dashboard. This process, submitted as JMP Add-in, has been incorporated into our user workflows, thus facilitating our procedures.
Learn how Cerba Research and Fulgent are enhancing genomic data in clinical trials for better patient outcomes across all phases through their NGS services. In this presentation, you’ll learn how we’re accelerating precision medicine with next generation biomarker discovery through our partnership and specific expertise in oncology, rare disease, CNS, metabolic, and infectious diseases.
Discover the art of histopathology through the eyes of our most skilled scientists.
Immunohistochemistry biomarkers are key players in clinical development success. Tissue biomarkers can aid in the confirmation of diagnosis, patient selection, and/or for mechanistic evaluation.

The Value of Biomarkers from Discovery to Commercialization
Why do some patients respond to therapy while others do not? The answer can be found in the concept of biomarkers: objective, measurable indicators of the presence or severity of disease. Used for decades to aid medical diagnosis, researchers today use biomarkers in every phase of drug discovery and development. There’s good reason. Biomarkers can triple drug development success rates, accelerating the availability of new therapeutics.
