Who we are

Olink Proteomics is a rapidly growing life science company committed to advancing the understanding of human diseases through proteomics. Our novel Proximity Extension Assays (PEA) are used by scientists across the globe to find novel protein biomarker signatures to predict, detect and monitor disease status and treatment efficacy and gain a fuller understanding of human biology in the research setting. We allow researchers to interrogate hundreds-to-thousands of protein biomarkers simultaneously in a high-throughput and reproducible manner, all from just a few microliters of sample.

Olink now enables researchers to bring our platform into their labs and provides the requisite training to ensure success. In addition, we continue to offer services through our labs in Uppsala, Sweden and Watertown, MA.
