The collaboration between Vector Laboratories and Navinci Diagnostics will empower researchers’ ability to understand the glycosylation state of specific protein targets in the spatial context of tissue. This new innovative approach simplifies the detection of this challenging post-translational modification. Until now, researchers have been limited to visualizing either proteins or glycans but have not had the technology to decipher the relationship between specific proteins and glycans.
“With this agreement, we are combining our long-standing expertise in protein and glycan detection and visualization with Navinci’s top-tier, sensitive in situ proximity ligation technology,” said Lisa V. Sellers, PhD, CEO of Vector Laboratories. “The technology that makes this tool possible will integrate very easily into existing workflows so that the user won’t need to have glycobiology expertise. We believe this will be a transformational approach that will help biopharmaceutical companies expand the depth of information that can be gained from tissue samples.”
Glycosylation has been recognized as an important biomarker for therapeutic development and monitoring. Ongoing scientific advances highlight the instrumental role of glycans in countless processes in health and disease. Improved tools for assessing glycosylation, and more specifically, glycosylation of a specific protein in situ, are a valuable addition to research in oncology, infectious diseases, and neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer’s.
“This novel technology approach has never been commercially applied before,” said Navinci CEO Robert Gunnarsson, MSc, EMBA. “Vector Laboratories’ established legacy as a pioneer in providing innovative, high-quality tools and reagents makes them a fantastic partner in developing this product. By enabling insight into the functional state of proteins tuned by the glycosylation state, this tool can more precisely inform biomarker identification and drug development, which can ultimately help deliver effective therapeutics for patients worldwide.”

Forrester: Three Years Into GenAI, Enterprises Are Still Chasing Its True Transformative Value2.4.2026 16:00:00 CEST | Press Release
According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) latest report, Accelerate Your AI Voyage, most enterprises are struggling to turn growing AI adoption and investment into measurable business impact. One of the key factors holding businesses back is low artificial intelligence quotient (AIQ) — Forrester’s measure of AI aptitude — with many employees lacking a clear understanding of how to use AI. Other barriers include an overemphasis on productivity-focused use cases, difficulty measuring impact, and siloed adoption within individual functions. While these challenges can leave firms frozen in doubt or indecision, the wait-and-see approach to AI adoption is no longer viable. To unlock AI’s full potential, organizations need to focus on four key areas: Define the business outcomes and success metrics for what they want AI to achieve; identify specific use cases for AI deployment aligned to those business outcomes; establish a structured runway to plan, test, and strategically time the deployment
