Research and development in the UK’s medical sector is thriving. There are over 5,600 health and life sciences companies operating in the UK, generating more than £30bn in exports and employing more than 240,000 people. The medical technology sector is currently estimated to be worth in the region of £7.6bn, with almost 3,700 companies in the space. Of these 98% are small to medium-sized enterprises, employing near 115,000 skilled researchers, scientists....
You’d be hard pressed to pick up a science or medical journal these days without reading something about CRISPR. Since the game-changing CRISPR-Cas9 methodology was first harnessed for genome editing seven years ago, endless possibilities have been explored by a wide range of industries. Biochemists the world over are working around the clock to test the boundaries and limitations of this innovative practice.....
Merck, a leading science and technology company, has announced that Susumu Kitagawa, Professor at the Institute for Integrated Cell–Material Sciences at Kyoto University, Japan, has been named the sixteenth recipient of the Emanuel Merck Lectureship.

AMSBIO reports on how several leading European research groups have used their Lipidure® coated microplates to help culture physiologically functional, light-responsive retinal organoids. Development of in vitro models of the human retina in which to perform pharmacological and toxicological studies is an urgent area of vital research. An essential step for developing in vitro models of human retina is the ability to generate laminated....
In a paper published in the American Chemical Society journal researchers from Bourgogne University showed that the use of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) using multi modal – PET/MRI - showed promising improvements in imaging capabilities. Using an MR Solutions, cryogen free, 3T scanner with a PET clip on the sequential images were found to be highly beneficial providing high spatial resolution, high sensitivity....
SP Scientific has video interviewed Dr Kevin Ward of Biopharma Process Systems Ltd, to discuss the key benefits of the Lyostat5 Freeze-Drying Microscope (FDM), and how it can be used to generate critical formulation-specific data. Every freeze-drying formulation has a critical temperature, below which it should be maintained during primary drying in order to prevent processing defects....
A new type of drug that targets a genetic weakness in an untreatable childhood brain cancer could become the first ever treatment designed to target the disease. The prototype treatment could also offer hope for patients with the rare and devastating ‘stone man syndrome’ – in which muscles and ligaments turn to bone. Scientists at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, led research with an international team of colleagues....
Deben, a leading provider of in-situ testing stages together with innovative accessories and components for microscopy, reports on the study of snake fangs at Stellenbosch University. The university used the Deben CT500 in the process of analysing the internal and external morphology and mechanical properties of venomous snake fangs. The motivation behind the campaign was to understand in detail the internal and external morphology and mechanical properties of snake fangs....
new study, published in Science Translational Medicine, details the pioneering work undertaken by a collaboration led by Stephen Kingsmore, MD, DSc, President and CEO of Rady Children’s Institute for Genomic Medicine. The team, which includes British company Clinithink, utilized a machine learning process and clinical natural language processing to diagnose rare genetic diseases in record time....

Dolomite Bio’s Nadia Instrument is helping researchers to gain a deeper understanding of motor neuron disease through the use of single nuclei RNA sequencing (sNuc-Seq).This automated, microfluidic droplet-based platform allows flexible encapsulation of up to eight samples in parallel in under 20 minutes, helping to accelerate studies and generate high quality data. Christopher Sibley, a Junior Research Fellow in the Brain Science Division at Imperial College London...
Testa Analytical Solutions e.K reports that its BI-XDC X-Ray Disc Centrifuge is enabling scientists to make accurate, high resolution particle size distribution measurements, from nanometres to tens of micrometres, without time consuming calibration or absorption correction. Based on the principle of photosedimentation, the BI-XDC measures the size of particles according to the time the particle takes to sediment in...
Postnova Analytics Inc. reports how its Electrical Asymmetrical Flow Field Flow Fractionation (EAF4) and Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) modules have been used to determine the physicochemical and biophysical attributes of monoclonal antibodies. EAF4 technology uniquely combines the principle of Electrical and Asymmetrical Field Flow Fractionation in just one system....
Wildcat Laboratory Solutions reports on their recent installation of a custom designed Biological Safety Cabinet at Eligo Bioscience - a biotech start-up in Paris, France.
