Procurement Information
The Centre for Clinical Brain Sciences (CCBS) at the University of Edinburgh is awarding the contract for Nightingale Health Oy to analyse blood samples from Malawi, specifically to conduct Metabolic Biomarker Profiling. Critical to this process is the comparison of the results with the UK's biobank collection. Crucially, the testing process must be as close as possible to produce results in a format that will allow scientific and accurate comparison to the results of the UK biobank. Nightingale Health Plc is the only provider that can conduct this profiling to produce results that are comparable to those of the UK biobank using their patented process and metabolic profiling platform.
