About
A research-first genomics laboratory.
CuriOmics is a contract research laboratory built on a simple idea: do fewer things, do them rigorously, and let clients see exactly how the result was produced. We work across sequencing, proteomics and multi-omics on a research-use basis.
The CuriOmics group
We're just curious.
CuriOmics brings together two companies under one scientific standard — the same people, the same rigour, and the same curiosity that gives us our name.
Beyond CuriOmics
Beyond CuriOmics LLC — our United States entity.
Just CuriOmics
Our sister company within the group.
Our approach
Quality first, by design
We are deliberately R&D-led. That means assays are developed and validated carefully, methods are documented, and data is generated to a standard you could publish or build on — not to hit a marketing claim.
It also means we will tell you what you do not need. The most useful thing a contract lab can offer is an honest recommendation, even when it is a smaller project than you expected.
Rigour over hype
Appropriate controls and honest QC, every time.
Open methods
Code, versions and parameters travel with your data.
Multi-omics
Genome, transcriptome and proteome under one roof.
Your data, yours
You own everything we generate.
Leadership
Founded and led by a geneticist
Denis Pyankov, MD is a clinical geneticist with deep, hands-on experience in next-generation sequencing, chromosomal microarray analysis and assay development. He has led a medical-genetics laboratory, worked as an OEM and R&D partner with Thermo Fisher Scientific, and developed a proprietary NGS reagent line for library preparation and DNA extraction.
He was among the first to introduce high-density microarray analysis and modern non-invasive prenatal screening to the Russian market — experience that informs how CuriOmics designs assays, validates them, and reports results.
Areas of depth
- NGS assay & reagent development
- Chromosomal microarray analysis
- Library prep for low-input samples
- Validation & quality systems
- Multi-omics study design
The molecule in our mark
CTCF — the genome's architect
The double helix and its companion protein in our background are not just decoration. CTCF (CCCTC-binding factor) is a transcription factor with eleven C2H2 zinc fingers, each coordinating a zinc ion and reading three bases of DNA at a time. It binds tens of thousands of sites across the genome.
Together with cohesin, CTCF folds chromatin into loops and defines the boundaries of topologically associating domains — organising how the genome is read. It is a fitting emblem for a laboratory whose job is to make sense of structure in sequence.
Gene: CTCF (16q22.1) · 727 aa · UniProt P49711 · 11× C2H2 zinc fingers.

Let's work together.
Whether it is a single assay or a multi-omics programme, we would like to hear what you are trying to find out.
