Latest Industry Insights

In this article, Michelle Fraser and Amanda Haupthow discuss how engineered nucleases in combination with next-generation base editing platforms are paving the way for the development of novel treatments for genetic disorders and diseases.

Elsevier’s “Insights 2024: Attitudes toward AI” report reveals how researchers feel about AI and what is needed to increase trust in these tools. Here, Mirit Eldor, managing director, life sciences at Elsevier discusses these findings further.

In this interview, Dr. Hui Jiang explores her inspirations and achievements and gives advice to women starting a career in the science industry.

Western blotting is a staple technique in many laboratories but can be time consuming and inconsistent. Technology Networks spoke with Harsha Rao to learn more about Stain-Free western blotting and the advantages of total protein normalization.

At SLAS Europe 2024, Technology Networks had the pleasure of speaking with Tim Dillon, market manager (Nordics) at Mettler-Toledo Rainin, to learn about how more sustainable options can be implemented into scientists’ daily workflows.

Both genetic and epigenetic sample information is required to get the full picture. Six-base genome sequencing enables this without need of multiple techniques, laborious downstream data processing or data loss, and cancer research is benefiting.

In a recent interview, Professor Ulf Landegren shared his perspectives on the future of spatial biology, discussed novel developments in 3D sequencing and outlined why this approach is capturing the attention of researchers worldwide.

Michelle C. Werner discusses how tRNAs could transform the drug development paradigm from gene-centric to gene-agnostic and accelerate new therapies for 30 million or more patients whose genetically driven disease can be classified under Stop Codon Disease.

Until recently, a lack of specialized services meant there was no definitive method for safely and effectively decontaminating plastic waste for reuse in new consumables. As a result, this waste was incinerated or diverted to landfill. The start-up company LabCycle has tackled this issue head-on, with its innovative approach to laboratory waste management. Technology Networks recently had the pleasure of speaking with LabCycle’s co-founder and chief technology officer Dr. Helen Liang, to learn more about its circular economy for laboratory plastic waste.

Neil Ward tells us about the role that genomics can play in conserving biodiversity and how innovative technologies such as HiFi sequencing are helping biodiversity projects.
