In this white paper, Predictive Oncology (POAI) highlights a recent successful project in partnership with the University of Michigan Natural Products Discovery Core (NPDC) through the ACE program. The ACE program supports academic researchers in their early drug discovery and development initiatives by providing access to the POAI proprietary active machine learning platform and ...
In recent years, the rise of drug-resistant cells has emerged as one of the most significant challenges in the field of medicine, particularly in oncology and infectious diseases. The effectiveness of current therapies is often hindered by the ability of certain cell populations to develop resistance, leading to treatment failure and disease progression. This article explores the importance of ...
This white paper details a study by Predictive Oncology and UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital. By combining the assets and domain expertise of both organizations, this collaboration aimed to improve ovarian cancer prognosis and treatment through accurate patient stratification and survival outcome predictions. Background and objective High grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) of the ovary is a complex and ...
Over the past few years the Andrology Lab at Hammersmith Hospital has been deeply involved in the development of an electronic Sample Tracking and Laboratory Management software system that is now commercially available. We discuss the benefits that this software has brought to his laboratory with Dr Kevin Lindsay, Principal Clinical Scientist, of the Andrology Department at London’s ...
Rare diseases are characterized by their low prevalence, affecting a small number of people across the world. These diseases often come with significant challenges, including accurate diagnosis, availability of effective treatments, and limited resources for research and development. However, recent advancements in diagnostics technology hold promise for speeding up the field of rare disease ...
Many important research questions cannot be studied under controlled circumstances. Events like natural disasters or disease exposure often occur without warning and prevent in-person clinic visits, making timely observation difficult without a flexible approach. At the University of Washington, researchers are partnering with Tasso to study these scenarios by deploying on-demand remote ...
What Are the Advantages of Single-Cell RNA Sequencing? One of the significant advantages of scRNA-seq in drug discovery is its impact on target identification. By allowing researchers to dissect complex tissues and diseases at the cellular level, scRNA-seq enables the identification of distinct cell subtypes and their gene expression profiles. This information can lead to a better understanding ...
Advantages of Single-Cell RNA Sequencing in Drug Discovery Single-Cell RNA Sequencing (scRNA-seq) offers several advantages in drug discovery, primarily through target identification. By analyzing complex tissues and diseases at the cellular level, scRNA-seq allows researchers to identify distinct cell subtypes and their gene expression profiles. This knowledge enhances our understanding of ...
Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions in living organisms. In recent years, enzymes have been increasingly utilized in medical diagnostics, leading to significant advancements in disease detection and management. Enzyme-based diagnostic tools have revolutionized the healthcare industry, offering numerous benefits such as increased accuracy, sensitivity, and speed. ...
Tuberculosis (TB) is on the rise, and traditional technologies are not up to the task of containing this fast-spreading disease. But a fast, robust, and low-cost optical system is enabling point-of-care testing Driven by various social factors, a number of “old” diseases have recently reemerged to significantly threaten world health. Of particular concern is the increase in ...
By applying a proprietary operating system to drug discovery, the Utah clinical-stage biotechnology company expects to turn drug discovery from sequential testing into a search problem. Unmet clinical needs often serve as the fundamental driving force behind drug discovery programs. During lead discovery, an intensive search ensues to find a drug-like small molecule or biological therapeutic, ...
Introduction Trench fever was a defining feature of World War I. Notables like A.A. Milne, author of Winnie-the-Pooh, and fantasy writer JRR Tolkien were treated for trench fever. But surely trench fever did not just appear in the European trenches of World War I and then disappear after. What’s the rest of the story? Before World War I, Way Before While infections caused ...
Highlights Viable Delta Variant SARS-CoV-2 collected from air samples in a residential environment. SARS-CoV-2 detected in an area of a single-family dwelling distant from an isolation suite occupied by COVID-19 patient. Assessment of air samples and surface swab samples by rRT-qPCR and cell culture for SARS-CoV-2. Employment of air samplers functioning based on different collection ...
Founded in 2014 in California, AXIM® Biotechnologies, Inc. is a vertically integrated research and development company focused on improving the landscape for diagnosis of ophthalmological conditions such as Dry Eye Disease (DED) through rapid diagnostic tests. Additionally, it owns IP and has conducted research on SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) rapid neutralizing antibody tests to detect ...

As experts in this complex field, we lead the way in bringing genomic insights into patient care so communities anywhere can benefit. Our employee spotlight shines the light on Gerald Martin, Senior Field Application Scientist. What is your educational background? I have a BA Honours degree from Trinity ...
In recent years, immune-based cancer treatment methods have given doctors and patients a lot of hope. Drugs called immune checkpoint inhibitors have provided life-saving benefits to more and more people suffering from melanoma, lung cancer, bladder cancer, and many other types of cancer. Although these drugs are exciting, a frustrating sticking point is that doctors cannot predict who will ...
Mic qpcr cycler and Myra liquid handler have been put through their paces in COVID-19-testing field trials in regional Western Australia and found to be noticeably robust, rapidly deployable and flexible. These results have been outlined in a recent paper, Development, deployment and in-field demonstration of mobile corona virus SARS-CoV-2 Nucleic acid amplification test, published by Paton, ...
Breath has lots of moisture. To see, just blow on a mirror and watch it fog up. Getting rid of the moisture on the mirror is easy: just wipe it off. Getting rid of moisture in a breath sample is more complex, but can be done with a bit of engineering and Nafion™ tubing. We have found ways to remove up to 90% of moisture from a patient’s breath sample. Moisture: Why You Need it Gone? ...
All You Need To Know About Medical-Grade Refrigeration Units For Pharmaceutical Storage And Transport One of the pillars for a successful healthcare system is the stable maintenance of vaccines, medications, reagents, and patient samples. These tend to be time- and temperature-sensitive. Vaccines and medicines are transferred through a cold chain from creation up to the time it is administered ...
