Genomics, panomics and long read sequencing for better patient care
Symon Cotton has been reflecting on the future of the genomics ecosystem. Here he discusses how genomics – plus the emergence of panomics and long read sequencing – could inform clinical practice and patient care ...
What next for precision medicine?
The world of DNA testing is changing fast and the race is on to provide cheap, quick genetic diagnoses for patients. Symon Cotton, Head of Life Sciences takes a look at the opportunities on offer for companies working in this ...
Sustainability at the heart of drug delivery product design
Lizzie Thomas presents her case for designing improved, sustainable drug delivery product design. Currently, the approach is dominated at the outset by patient-centricity. This focus means that wider, more long-term implications simply aren’t considered early enough ...
‘Cell mechanomics’ for drug discoveries, cell therapies and precision cancer medicine
Cell4D is developing ‘fingerprinting’ technology for live cells using mechanomics, a discipline sitting at the intersection of biology and biomechanics. This biomarker that is used to screen and sort live cells for cell therapies ...
Collaboration can unlock a successful connected future for global pharma
Global pharma is hitting a major fork in the road, and one way leads to failure. For me, it’s vital that the industry comes together to grasp the once-in-a-generation opportunity that emergent technology is offering ...
Start-up technology risk management in The Engine venture ecosystem
Founders of early-stage start-ups are passionate, driven and optimistic. So, as they embark on the mission to sell their vision, they should accentuate the positive and keep negative thoughts of risk to the back of their mind, right? Wrong ...
AI-enhanced imaging for superhuman surgery
AI-based methods are offering superhuman image enhancement. But their medical applications are not without risk – unless, that is, you consider a hybrid approach… ...
HBx could spur the air industry towards net zero
Decarbonising aviation is a herculean task, but the HBx organism holds the potential to radically change both the carbon intensity of transport fuels and the economics of the biofuel industry ...
The opportunities for wireless in hospital healthcare
This whitepaper describes the benefits of introducing advanced wireless capabilities into surgical and critical care settings, the technical approaches to achieve this, and the challenges that can arise. It concludes with our vision for some exemplar use cases. ...
