Company Description
ORB is a growing life science company in the research tools sector of
biotechnology. Our mission is to provide accurate, affordable, and
information-rich genomic services to the Health Care and Life Science
industries. We are headquartered in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, near the
geographic center of a rapidly developing Life Science Cluster. Demand for
high quality genomic services is steadily increasing for both research and
clinical applications. ORB is capitalizing on that growth due to our capability of
providing these services at attractive pricing in combination with excellent
customer service.
Partnerships
ORB develops many of its services in close collaboration with Microarrays Inc.,
the industry leader in probe deposition-based microarray technology. We
recently partnered with Toxikon, a well-respected pre-clinical CRO with
operations in the U.S. and Europe, in order to support an expansion of
available drug discovery-related services to their clients, as well as to broaden
the global marketing reach of ORB. We also maintain a co-marketing
arrangement with Immunosite, another South Florida-based CRO with
expertise
in
cell-based
assays
and
particle
characterization.
At the local level, ORB participates in the biotechnology training programs
offered by Palm Beach State College and the Employ Florida Banner Center.
ORB is affiliated with The Scripps Research Institute in Florida through our
Advisory
Board
as
well
as
research
collaborations.
We welcome inquiries from Life Science companies seeking product
distribution or co-marketing partnerships, or OEM services. We also invite
inquiries from academic institutions or corporations seeking to out-license
technology related to RNA profiling or multiplex protein analysis.
Research & Development
ORB staff recently coauthored studies appearing in the journals PNAS and
Nature with scientists at The Scripps Research Institute in Jupiter Florida. ORB is
also engaged in research collaborations with several academic institutes
focused on biomarker discovery in disease areas such as neurodegeneration,
cardiovascular disease, and emphysema. Our partners on these projects
include research groups at Emory University, Roosevelt Hospital in New York,
and the University of Miami. ORB is also developing a recently in-licensed
technology for RNA sample analysis with potential research and diagnostic
applications in oncology, inflammation, and neurology.
