Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) combine potent small-molecule drugs with monoclonal antibodies for targeted cancer therapy. A major challenge is loading enough drug onto each antibody without compromising solubility or circulation time. Introducing polyethylene glycol (PEG) linkers between the antibody and drug payload can address this. PEG is hydrophilic, biologically inert, and FDA‐recognized ...
Clinical trials are the backbone of modern medicine, responsible for bringing innovative, safe, and efficient treatments to market after rigorous testing and evaluation. However, the conventional process of conducting these trials has often been long, expensive, and fraught with inefficiencies¹. The advent of predictive analytics is reshaping the landscape of clinical trials, ushering in a ...
Medical advancement relies on clinical trials, which are essential for the development of safe and effective innovative treatments. However, the success and general applicability of these treatments heavily depend on the diversity of the participants involved¹?³. This blog explores the importance of achieving data diversity in clinical trials to enhance clinical trial results and ...
In addition to raw sequence data, you can also submit computationally assembled sequences, genomes, functional genomics data, microarray data, clinical data, genome variations, and other data types, such as PacBio methylation data. ...
In response to the emerging needs in global healthcare, SOPHiA GENETICS has just revealed the New Generation SOPHiA DDM™ Platform, aiming to stay at the forefront of precision medicine and address today the healthcare needs of tomorrow. ...
We recently spoke with Manuela Badiali, Rita Congiu, and Stefania Murru from the Laboratory of Genetics and Genomics, Microcitemico Pediatric Hospital – A. Cao, Cagliari, about how SOPHiA DDM™ RNAtarget Technology has helped them optimize their variant analysis workflow. ...
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 ...
Only 20% of patients with ovarian HGSC will be long-term survivors, but no current clinical data can accurately predict which patient will be a short- or long-term survivor. ...
Host cell proteins (HCPs) are protein impurities produced by genetically engineered strains or cell lines. Some of these proteins are necessary for the survival, reproduction and other normal physiological activities of engineered strains or cell lines. HCPs are purified together with the target product during the production process and cannot be removed. Risks of HCPs In general, HCP ...
In addition, many CDM systems are not user-friendly or interactive, making it difficult for users to get the most out of them. What challenges do clinical data management systems currently face? Clinical Trial Complexity The modern clinical trial design requires real-time data modelling and simulation to provide reliable ...

We are committed to sharing that data and believe in empowering individuals with easily digestible information during virus transmission season. The Power of Narrative: Wastewater data is a powerful tool, but raw data alone can be challenging to interpret. ...
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 ...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) - Powering Precision Diagnosis and Efficiency AI and machine learning have been revolutionary in echocardiography interpretation and informing clinical decisions, enhancing speed and accuracy. These technologies assist in detecting abnormalities, quantifying cardiac function, and streamlining workflows. ...
Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin (TSLP) is a multifunctional cytokine that acts on various cell types, including dendritic cells, T cells, B cells, neutrophils, mast cells, eosinophils, and innate lymphoid cells, affecting their maturation, survival, and recruitment. It is well-known for its role in promoting type 2 immune responses, such as allergic diseases. In 2021, a monoclonal antibody targeting ...
PROTAC technology has been in development for more than 20 years. PROTAC proof-of-concept studies date back to 2001, when Crews' team tested the possibility of artificially induced intracellular protein degradation with a peptide that was too large in molecular weight and required cells to penetrate the peptide to improve cell permeability. The discovery of the first small molecule PROTAC and the ...
Variant annotation generally involves information about genomic coordinates, gene position, and mutation type. ...
Serum enzyme tests have been used in clinical practice for a long time, such as increased amylase activity in serum and urine of patients with acute pancreatitis. ...
At the end of the year 2019, a cluster of severe pneumonia of unknown cause was described in Wuhan (Eastern China) and a SARS-like acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) was noted in these patients. Early in January 2020, sequencing revealed a novel coronavirus (now termed SARS-CoV-2) as the causal factor for the disease designated as COVID-19. The pandemic caused by the virus has unforeseen ...

The Challenge: One of the most common challenges in immuno-oncology is identifying the indications and patient populations that would benefit from a specific therapy, especially on top of Standard of Care (SOC) treatments. Our platform tackled this challenge of indication prioritization and patient stratification for a combination of a specific target (A) with an anti-PDX drug that one of our ...
The use of Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) is often viewed as incompatible with current standard radiology workflows. Some radiologists or departments may be unaware of its existence or purpose. Despite the skepticism surrounding its viability in a clinical setting, QSM shows great potential in a wide range of clinical applications, particularly for biomarker detection and ...
