Our story

Founded in 2019 as a spin-off from Ghent University, OHMX.bio is deeply rooted in the academic excellence and innovation ecosystem of Ghent. From here, we harness high-throughput analysis and advanced multi-omics technologies to push the boundaries of pharmaceutical and biological research. Our collaborative projects bring together experienced wet-lab scientists, bioinformaticians, and experts who deliver tailored solutions with scientific rigor and operational excellence.

Ghent

To better support our international partners and accelerate collaboration across borders, OHMX.bio has opened a new office in Switzerland. This expansion enhances our proximity to key life sciences hubs in the DACH region, enabling faster engagement, stronger local support, and closer alignment with global research initiatives. While our scientific core remains anchored in Ghent, our Swiss presence reflects our ongoing commitment to growth, accessibility, and partnership in the broader European research landscape.
In July 2024, OHMX.bio joined the Anacura family through acquisition by Anacura, a leading analytical services group. This strategic partnership strengthens our ability to serve biotech, pharmaceutical, and clinical research communities with an even broader portfolio of analytical and multi-omics capabilities, while preserving our mission, values, and commitment to quality. Distinguished by continual innovation, we integrate novel methodologies to meet the growing demand for specialized technologies across diverse -omics levels and complex molecular modifications. From DNA/RNA epigenetics to post-translational modifications, our team drives discovery with precision, depth, and scientific integrity.
