Sebia partners with Inserm Transfert to develop a unique diagnostic test for haemoglobin diseases
Collaboration will focus mainly on the diagnosis of thalassaemias
A preliminary study of this test has been carried out on 54 subjects (consisting of 20 patients suffering from beta-thalassaemia, 6 patients with alpha-thalassaemia, and a 28-reference control group). The phenotypes of the different haemoglobins were studied using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods. This technique ensures an accurate measurement of foetal haemoglobin (HbF) and HbA2, the percentage of which is an important element for the diagnosis of thalassaemias. “HPLC and capillary electrophoresis separation techniques are valuable tools for identifying or confirming the presence of abnormal haemoglobins,” explains Véronique Baudin-Creuza.

Diagnostics is at the heart of modern medicine and forms a crucial interface between research and patient care in the biotech and pharmaceutical industries. It not only enables early detection and monitoring of disease, but also plays a central role in individualized medicine by enabling targeted therapies based on an individual's genetic and molecular signature.
