Infectious Diseases & Microbiome

OMICS4 combines host transcriptomics and microbiome profiling to help researchers understand host-pathogen interactions and microbial community dynamics, in-house and with our infectious-disease partner.

Overview

Host and microbiome, in one workflow

OMICS4 combines host transcriptomics and microbiome profiling to help researchers understand host-pathogen interactions and microbial community dynamics in infectious disease research. Specialist infectious-disease expertise is available through our partner IHU Méditerranée Infection, alongside our in-house sequencing and metagenomics platforms.

Partner spotlight: IHU Méditerranée Infection For infectious-disease programs that call for specialist clinical microbiology expertise beyond our in-house platforms, we work with IHU Méditerranée Infection under the same single point of contact and QC framework as our own lab.

OMICS4 capabilities

Built for infection and microbiome research

Host-pathogen interaction transcriptomics

Host and pathogen transcriptional dynamics across infection time-course.

  • Dual RNA-seq (host + pathogen) where applicable
  • Infection time-course transcriptional profiling
  • Host immune response signature characterization
See related platform

Microbiome community profiling (16S / metagenomics)

Community composition and function tracked longitudinally.

  • 16S rRNA and shotgun metagenomic sequencing
  • Diversity, composition & functional pathway analysis
  • Longitudinal microbiome shift tracking
See related platform

Infection response biomarker support

Host biomarker candidates quantified and validated across cohorts.

  • Host biomarker candidates for severity/response
  • Orthogonal quantification (qPCR/ddPCR) across cohorts
  • Integration with clinical/epidemiological metadata
See related platform

Integrated bioinformatics & AI interpretation, via GenXMap

Combined host + microbiome models, delivered by GenXMap's Computational Biology & AI layer on top of our wet-lab data.

  • Combined host + microbiome data models
  • Reproducible pipelines for outbreak or cohort studies
  • Reporting adapted to research or public-health contexts

How OMICS4 adapts

How OMICS4 adapts to your process

No two programs run the same workflow. Here is how OMICS4 fits into what you already have in place.

Their reality

Samples can be biosafety-sensitive (BSL-2/3 pathogens) and require specific handling chains.

How OMICS4 adapts

Sample logistics and lab handling are scoped to your biosafety and containment requirements from intake.

Their reality

Studies often combine hospital, field, and lab-collected samples of variable quality.

How OMICS4 adapts

QC thresholds and processing are adapted per sample source rather than applying one blanket standard.

Their reality

Findings need to connect to epidemiological or clinical severity data, not just molecular signal.

How OMICS4 adapts

Molecular results are delivered alongside your clinical/epidemiological metadata for direct interpretation.

Their reality

Some programs (public health, outbreak response) run on compressed timelines.

How OMICS4 adapts

Turnaround is scoped to the urgency of the program, from standard R&D pace to rapid-response windows.
