BioResearch and Innovation

Cell Based Therapies

Nobels and Stem Cells

The work of Sir John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka was recently awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Their groundbreaking work has led Dean Griffiths at Cambridge Consultants to investigate how a major discovery can start from a minor question.

Single-use Bioreactors

Rapid Reaction

Traditional stainless steel reactors are being overtaken by single-use bioreactors. Lee Madrid at EMD Millipore Corporation and Aurore Poles-Lahille at Millipore SAS outline the advantages that this new technology can bring.

Discovery Technology

Cloud Computing

Up, Up and Away

Inefficient data processing often stifles innovation in research and development. Richard Heitmann at Aspera discusses the vast possibilities to be gained in new medical advancements when modern technology is used to its full potential.

BioDevelopment

Sharing Data

Personal Medicine

In order to provide more bespoke therapeutics for cancer treatment, the industry needs to make a more conscious effort to collaborate and share patient data, says Markus Warmuth at H3 Biomedicine.

Drug Discovery

Stem Cell Technology

Treatment from Within

Distinguishing the correct cell types in liver cell transplantation is a vital factor that contributes substantially to the success of this therapy. Eric Halioua and Etienne Marc Sokal atPromethera Biosciences explore the advantages that intrahepatic cells have over other sources.

Differentiated Cells

iPS Power

The world of patient therapeutics can be drastically transformed through the use of in vitro differentiated cells that are derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, Felix Haniel of Axiogenesis AG explains.

Safety Profile

A Marked Difference

Biomarkers are an invaluable tool in drug discovery and development. Federica Crivellente and Elena Vicentini at Aptuit suggest that the use of high throughput technologies can help to generate high quality data in a more efficient and cost-effective way.

Stem Cells in Drug Discovery

Patient in a Dish

Roberto Iacone at Roche and Blake Anson at Celluar Dynamics International examine how using improved induced pluripotent stem cell models will result in more effective medicines and help to overcome some of the challenges in this field.

BioRegional

Biosimilars: Asian Markets

Biotech in China

James C Greenwoodat Biotechnology Industry Organization assesses the growth of the Chinese biotech industry and how investment into new products could secure their position in the drug development and manufacturing market.

DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION

Cell Line Development

Database Power

When trying to identify new cell lines, progress can be stifled by the data management process. If a more highly developed system were to be implemented, development timelines would decrease rapidly, as Eliot Randle at IDBS demonstrates.

Diabetes Therapeutics

Crackling the Code

A promising alternative for the treatment of type 1 diabetes has been discovered. Peter Hosking at Living Cell Technologies illustrates how using encapsulated porcine insulin-producing cells significantly reduces the number of hypoglycaemic events.

BioT ULT Transporter

BioCision

The growth of biobanking, cell therapy, and complex biopharmaceutical therapies like cancer vaccines has created a strong need for products and processes to ensure the stability of temperature-sensitive biospecimens. Proper collection, handling, characterization, packaging and shipping of these materials is critical, as poor sample handling impacts researchers working on discovery with patient samples, as well as clinicians treating patients with cutting edge therapies. This white paper describes in detail the BioCision BioT™ ULT Transporter, the first-of-its-kind dry ice-based portable cooling system that maintains a stable -75° to -50°C environment for over 24 hours on one charge of dry ice, enabling reliable handling and transfer of valuable temperature-sensitive biospecimens as part of a larger cold chain standardization process.
