Welcome to 2023-2024 season’s respiratory surveillance recap, where we’ll share insights from the most recent respiratory surveillance season, covering three major respiratory viruses: COVID-19, influenza, and RSV. Tracking these illnesses is imperative for maintaining population health because these illnesses significantly impact individual wellbeing and healthcare costs, resource ...
In recent years, mRNA vaccines have emerged as a revolutionary tool in the fight against infectious diseases, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. These vaccines utilize messenger RNA (mRNA) to instruct cells to produce a protein that triggers an immune response, leading to the production of antibodies that protect against the targeted virus. While mRNA vaccines have shown remarkable efficacy ...
Biobot has always believed in the transformative power of wastewater data for public health. We started by making this important data available during the COVID-19 pandemic to fill critical data gaps nationally in an easily digestible way. Our data not only helped the public, but empowered public health departments and researchers to utilize its potential. But as the field of wastewater ...
The medical industry is a new frontier for Raman spectroscopy. In the past few years, Raman has been used in dental and cancer studies, and is now building on this success by extension into Point-of-Care (POC) applications. This article gives an overview of some very new and exciting research into the use of Raman spectroscopy for the detection of cancerous tissue, biomarkers of disease, and ...

Introduction RNA Lipid Nanoparticles (LNP) technology has rapidly gained prominence in the health and scientific domain, primarily due to its significant role in carrying the mRNA of the COVID-19 vaccines developed by Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna. Yet, the potential of this technology spans beyond the confines of these vaccines or even the health industry. As research into premade RNA-LNP products ...
Peru has been one of the hardest hit countries by the COVID-19 pandemic. The high death tolls and economical impacts will stunt the on-going development of so many underserved communities. Many development projects in the Amazonian region have been cancelled or suspended and for those communities already underserved in the country, this will have a huge impact in their future access to ...
The COVID-19 pandemic has killed millions of people. Vaccines certainly are the most outstanding ways to prevent major diseases and death, though they haven't eliminated infections. At present, the most effective vaccine is the mRNA vaccine developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna. Before that, mRNA technology stopped in the lab phase. How to apply mRNA technology to more complex diseases in the ...
What are Adjuvants? Adjuvants, also known as immunomodulators or immune enhancers, are an additive to vaccines. Adjuvants are non-specific immune enhancers that enhance or alter the type of immune response to an antigen. Adjuvants can help antigens induce long-term effective specific immune responses in vivo, leading to higher vaccine efficacy and prolonged protection from immune responses. ...
Over the past decade, cloud computing has undergone remarkable expansion. The collective revenue generated by AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft surged from $49 billion in 2018 to an astonishing $206 billion in 2022.[i] Projections from Future Market Insights indicate that the revenue from cloud services is poised to maintain an impressive average annual growth rate of 21%, reaching a staggering ...
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the success of mRNA vaccines has greatly propelled the development of mRNA therapeutics. mRNA is a negatively charged nucleic acid that serves as a template for protein synthesis in ribosomes. Despite its utility, the instability of mRNA necessitates appropriate carriers for in vivo delivery. Currently, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are the most mature approach for ...
