[Company Presentation](https://sbhsciences.com/hubfs/43587181/SBH_Presentation.pdf) ## Our Mission #### To offer superior products and services and provide exemplary customer service, with open communication and on-time delivery. We support entrepreneurial scientists and startups, diagnostic, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology companies with unparalleled experience and expertise that significantly shortens timelines and reduces costs.   ## Our Journey #### Founded in 1997 as an entrepreneurial startup focused on mammalian-derived recombinant cytokines, SBH Sciences has evolved into a leading early discovery CRO advancing drug discovery and development. Through our collaborations with over 350 biotechnology and diagnostic companies, we’ve gained profound experience, establishing ourselves as leaders in oncology, immunotherapy, inflammation, and neurodegenerative diseases. With a proven track record in conducting thousands of binding assays and developing over 360 cell-based biological assays, we are globally recognized as the world leader for measuring the biological activity of cytokines and growth factors. Our unique expertise has contributed to the advancement of seven New Chemical Entities (NCEs), five into clinical trials, and one FDA-approved drug.   ![SBH logo transparent](https://sbhsciences.com/hs-fs/hubfs/SBH%20logo%20transparent.png?width=1000&height=525&name=SBH%20logo%20transparent.png) # The Global Leader in Cell-Based Assays for Measuring Cytokine Activity Explore over 360 cell-based assays to measure the biological activity of cytokines, chemokines and growth factors.

With great sadness we inform the community of the passing of Eliezer Zomer, z"l, who passed away on February 8th, 2024.   Eli, known affectionately as "Eliko," was born in Tel-Aviv in 1946. Eli grew up in the dawn of Israel's independence and embodied the scrappy, adventurous, entrepreneurial spirit of a true sabra - he was a leader in the tzofim (Israeli scouts) and served as a paratrooper who liberated Jerusalem in the 1967 Six-Day War. Eli came to the US where he earned a PhD in Biochemistry.   Dr. Zomer was a scientist with over 40 years of proven leadership in biotechnology research, chemical engineering and drug discovery. This includes 30 years of extensive research and development in pharmaceuticals and clinical diagnostics, managing multiple programs for industrial and regulatory applications. Dr. Zomer had vast knowledge of scale-up manufacturing under GMP and GLP, method development, in-vitro diagnostic, validation and regulatory submission. In addition he worked in the development and submission of standard operation and validation protocols for regulatory approval in clinical, veterinary and agrochemical fields. Dr. Zomer was the author of numerous patents and papers on biotech and drug development, and was a Mentor at SBH.   We will miss him forever. ![zomer](https://sbhsciences.com/hubfs/zomer.jpg "zomer") ### Sign up for our newsletter! **Discovery Research Products & Services** (508) 650-6218 | [Inquiries@SBHsciences.com](mailto:Inquiries@SBHsciences.com) The World's Leading Provider of Cytokine Cell-Based Assays Recombinant Cytokines, Enzymes, Antibodies, Cell-Based Assay and Innovative Process Development Solutions **[COMPANY](https://sbhsciences.com/about-sbh)** [About Us](https://sbhsciences.com/about-sbh) [SBH Leadership](https://sbhsciences.com/sbh-leadership) [Company Presentation](https://sbhsciences.com/hubfs/43587181/SBH_Presentation.pdf) [Strategic Partnerships](https://sbhsciences.com/partnerships) [References and Publications](https://sbhsciences.com/references) [News and Blog](https://sbhsciences.com/sbh-blog-and-news) [Careers](https://sbhsciences.com/careers) [Request a Quote](https://sbhsciences.com/contact) [Contact Us](https://sbhsciences.com/contact) **[SERVICES](https://sbhsciences.com/services)** [Automated Western Blot](https://sbhsciences.com/platform-technologies#wb) [Bioanalytical](https://sbhsciences.com/bioanalytical-discovery-services) [Biomarker Testing](https://sbhsciences.com/biomarker-testing) [Cell-Based Assay](https://sbhsciences.com/cell-based-assay-services) [Cell Culture Services](https://sbhsciences.com/cell-culture-services) [Cell & Gene Therapy (CGT)](https://sbhsciences.com/cgt) [Small Molecule](https://sbhsciences.com/small-molecule) [Biosimilars](https://sbhsciences.com/biosimilars) [Antibody Development](https://sbhsciences.com/antibody-development-1) [ELISA Services](https://sbhsciences.com/elisa-assays) [Molecular Biology](https://sbhsciences.com/molecular-biology-services) [Organoids](https://sbhsciences.com/blog/organoids-mini-organs-grown-for-research-and-drug-development) [Exosomes](https://sbhsciences.com/exosome-services) [Protein Purification/Production](https://sbhsciences.com/protein-production-services) [FTE Scientist Model](https://sbhsciences.com/fte-model) [Consulting](https://sbhsciences.com/mentoring) **INDICATIONS** [Oncology](https://sbhsciences.com/oncology) [Kidney](https://sbhsciences.com/kidney) [Muscle](https://sbhsciences.com/muscle) [Metabolic](https://sbhsciences.com/metabolic) [Neurology](https://sbhsciences.com/neurology) **[PRODUCTS](https://sbhsciences.com/products)** [Request a Quote](https://sbhsciences.com/contact) [Cytokines](https://sbhsciences.com/cytokines) [Monoclonal Antibodies](https://sbhsciences.com/monoclonal-antibodies) [Glycobiology](https://sbhsciences.com/glycobiology) **[SBH Bioventure](https://sbhsciences.com/sbh-bioventure)** [**SBH Diagnostics**](https://sbhdiagnostics.com/#)   [![linkedin](https://sbhsciences.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported%20sitepage%20images/linkedin.gif?width=45&height=44&name=linkedin.gif)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/sbh-sciences)     ©2026 SBH Sciences.
