Partnership Philosophy

We break down barriers and harness talent. The PROOF Centre of Excellence brings together the local and global resources and strategies required for the discovery and development of biomarkers. By uniting a cross-disciplinary hub of people and teams in a not-for-profit model, we can speed up development of these new tests and apply them sooner.

Our strategy is to build biomarker resources for the healthcare community, through partnerships and the provision of contract services. These resources include patient cohorts, biomarker platforms, computational and modeling expertise, biological and clinical depth, health economics and commercialization experience, health system and regulatory navigation and private sector engagement.

Our approach makes financial sense. Our flexible business model and end-to-end expertise makes financial sense to our commercial partners who see an opportunity to decrease their risk through speed, expertise and efficiencies. Our model will also create training and research opportunities in science and business. Most importantly, we can reduce the financial burden on the health care system by preventing disease and improving health.

Our community of partners includes clinicians, industry, health systems, government, consortia, patient advocates, scientists, ethicists and economists. See our PROOF Centre of Excellence Partner Fact Sheet
