Olink develops and markets its unique technology for protein analysis in human protein biomarker research. Olink’s proprietary Proximity Extension Assay (PEA) technology enables researchers to analyze large numbers of proteins with high-throughput analysis, exceptional data quality, and minimal sample consumption.
This makes research possible, which previously could not be done, at lower unit costs. The technology drives precision medicine by improving the understanding of the interaction of proteins and human disease, which is key to improve treatment and patient outcomes across many disease areas.
Key developments in 2019
Olink has developed rapidly during 2019 and the company has seen very strong traction for its products in the market. The company delivered a 49% revenue growth in the year, driven by strong growth in all geographies, and notably by continued Biopharma adoption of its technology.
Throughout 2019, Olink has expanded its offering into new geographies such as APAC and gained stronger presence within its current footprint. The organization has been strengthened to continue driving strong future growth, and Olink is continuing to relentlessly pursue a number of R&D projects that will further strengthen its offering in the coming years.
Impact Dimensions
The challenges we face
We currently suffer from ineffective medication due to a lack of understanding of the biology of diseases. The shift from "one size fits all" approach to precision medicine is a colossal challenge for science. Delivering the right treatment, to the right patient at the appropriate time requires developing protein biomarker panels to improve our understanding of the human biology and optimize the development of new drugs and treatments.
What is the outcome?
Olink contributes to the understanding of the human biology through its unique technology aimed at science related to proteomics. Olink’s approach enables science that was not previously possible, and is a key contributor to precision medicine.
Who are the stakeholders?
Olink's customers are primarily found in pharma and in academic centers, who are focused on drug discovery and understanding biology in human disease. Olink's technology can enable these customers to drive the future of precision medicine, which will greatly benefit individual patients and health systems.
How big is the effect, and does it last?
Olink, with a library of over 1,200 validated protein targets, has been mentioned in 343 publications, supporting protein biomarker discovery research globally. The company has hundreds of customers worldwide. Enabling precision medicine is important to drive better patient outcomes and sustainable cost in healthcare systems over time.
If Olink didn’t exist…
Since Olink provides a truly unique technology to the market, it makes a great contribution to precision medicine. If Olink did not exist, a vast majority of the research that it enables would not get done.
Impact risk: what can go wrong?
Product quality is fundamentally important, so if Olink would be unable to deliver strong product quality, its customers would likely stop using its products.
