Questar Bioinformatics

QUESTAR Bioinformatics Ltd (QBL), a startup by Gland Pharma is located in Hyderabad. The proteomics start-up from the drug major, Gland Pharma, has entered into a strategic alliance with AlphaGene Inc., the Woburn, Massachussets-based genomics company.

AlphaGene Inc. has entered into a collaboration to use bioinformatics technology from Questar Bioinformatics Ltd. to mine AlphaGene’s protein library. Questar will provide support for structure determination, pathway identification, and small molecule library development. Questar Bioinformatics will pursue development of functional proteomics (the understanding of the functions of specific proteins in the human body) on some of the promising leads already generated by AlphaGene.
AlphaGene has generated several leads in neurological diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzhiemer's, which defy cure and cancers of the colon and breast. The company wants QBL to pursue these leads, use the latest research capabilities and take them to the logical stage of a drug, diagnostic or method of treatment.

The company plans to recruit researchers for determining the protein structure, identification of specific markers and generate a library of information. Simultaneously, it will play an important role in enhancing the value of the intellectual property created by AlphaGene.
