VICA™ Applications

VICA™ Applications in research and discovery

From comparing discovery candidates to measuring a target in water or a biological sample, research teams need different forms of interaction data. The application pages below describe how selected VICA™ studies can contribute in each setting, with relevant study options, research examples and ways to work with Pavonis.

Biopharma and Biotechnology

For teams selecting molecules for further characterization, VICA™ studies compare candidate binding, specificity and kinetics. Pavonis plans and delivers that work with the scientific lead and project manager.

AI-Driven Antibody and Peptide Discovery

Experimental testing connects computationally designed peptides, proteins and antibodies with measurements of their binding. Your team can use those comparisons to shortlist candidates or inform another design cycle.

Life Sciences Research

For environmental, agricultural and veterinary research, investigate targets in relevant samples or measure them where the research is happening. Explore how a portable VICA™ assay can support field work when sending specimens to a laboratory would delay the answer.

CROs

When a client program needs additional binding measurements, a fee-for-service Pavonis study can supplement your existing assays. Review how the study, reporting and sample handoff are arranged.

Academic and Government Research

For laboratory, environmental and field research, the study must account for both the samples and where the work will take place. Explore a Pavonis-run study or discuss possible access in your own laboratory or research setting.
