About
Progenus is a Belgian biotechnology company with over 25 years of experience in molecular biology, animal genetics and molecular assay development. We are currently involved in two Horizon Europe projects and are looking to expand our European R&D collaborations.
We offer expertise in molecular analysis and microbial characterization to support research on livestock microbiomes, animal health and sustainable farming.
Our potential contributions include:
-
Bacterial identification and characterization using 16S rRNA sequencing and whole-genome sequencing (WGS).
-
Development and validation of targeted PCR/qPCR assays.
-
DNA extraction, sequencing and molecular characterization of biological samples.
-
Development of customized analytical methods adapted to specific research objectives.
-
Laboratory testing and analytical validation within collaborative research projects.
We are particularly interested in working with universities, veterinary research institutes, livestock research centres, microbiome specialists and biotechnology companies.
We are seeking to join Horizon Europe consortia as an R&D partner, contributing molecular biology expertise to experimental work packages and the development of new analytical approaches for livestock health and sustainability.
