I am
very pleased to welcome you to Pantomics, Inc., a start up company engaging in
tissue array production and related services.
To
achieve high quality and homogeneity in tissue array products, we started our
company with a dedicated tissue
acquisition and processing system. We have now built up a large volume of
optimally processed tissues with comprehensive accompanying data including age,
sex, diagnosis and appropriate grading/staging. This rich repository has allowed
us to make tissue arrays covering a wide range of normal, reactive,
pre-malignant and malignant conditions. I would like to invite you to experience
our high quality products.
For
more than 20 years, I have been working in the field of clinical, academic and
biotech pathology, being heavily involved in the use of human tissues and their
derivatives. My group started to adopt tissue array technology soon after it was
introduced in the late 90’s. Tissue array technology greatly accelerated our
gene expression profiling projects employing immunohistochemistry (IHC) and
in situ hybridization (ISH). With this technology, we were able to organize
relevant and subtle histological changes into “pathology models’ that greatly
helped us to eliminate targets unrelated to disease during the drug discovery
process in my former biotech company. Despite their usefulness, we noticed that
IHC and ISH analyses on tissue arrays often required extra efforts in protocol
optimization. This was due to construction of arrays from heterogeneous tissue
blocks of different quality caused by variation in storage age and
fixation/processing history. Our accumulated experience in the use of tissue
arrays has become the foundation for setting up Pantomics, Inc., and for
designing and providing our array products and array-based services.
Our
website provides a wealth of information about our products and services. I hope
that you enjoy your time spent here. We look forward to establishing a long and
fruitful relationship with you, and thank you for your interest in our company.
Sincerely,
Langxing Pan, M.D., Ph.D.
Founder, President and CEO
