Steven Xia, a histologist with a profound passion for scientific innovation, and a founder of Boster Bio in 1993. Coming from humble beginnings in a rural farming community, Steven defied the odds as the sole member of his village to pursue higher education and attain a PhD – a rarity in his county. Driven by a vision to address the needs of the medical and research community in early 90s China, Steven started on a journey that would shape the landscape of histology and antibody manufacturing. Starting with minimal resources in a small room scarcely larger than a pickup truck, Steven pioneered the development of proprietary reagents for histology, filling a critical gap in a market heavily reliant on imports. Today, Boster Bio stands as a testament to Steven's unwavering dedication and entrepreneurial spirit, offering high-sensitivity ELISA kits and WB/IHC compatible antibodies that empower researchers worldwide.

The Role of Custom Antibodies in Neurological Disorders

Antibodies or immunoglobulins are the body’s defenders. These proteins are made by our immune system to identify and fight off germs like viruses and bacteria. Custom antibodies are specifically designed proteins in the laboratory to target specific antigens, offering precise solutions for research, diagnostics, and treatment, especially in neurological disorders. But why are custom antibodies
