We have developed 3D-shaped hydrogel microparticle platforms to capture cells, as well as isolate and label their secretions. These “lab on a particle” systems enable sorting cel...
When designing or implementing laboratory automation, we often have a fully automated end-goal in mind. We dream of leveraging automation to enable processes that run uninterrupted, preferab...
Tissues in the body are wonderfully organized, with specific arrangements of cells, extracellular matrix, secreted molecules, and fluid flow that synergize that create emergent functions. How...
The attractiveness of 3D printing technology in the microfluidic field is growing, specifically stereolithographic (SLA) type 3D printers, owing to their low cost, versatility, fast and easy...
Cancers are genetic diseases driven by recurrent sets of somatic mutations. Different mutations associate statistically with distinct disease risks and can therefore be useful prognostic mar...
Growing living human cells in vitro for basic research, drug discovery and reparative/regenerative medicine is challenged by the difficulty in developing methods for reproducibly and cost eff...
AstraZeneca has an ambition to create a porous organisation, seamlessly collaborating with external partners. This desire has led to the establishment of the AstraZeneca-MRC UK Centre for Lea...
Open Targets is a public-private partnership made up of four global leading institutions in the fields of pharmaceuticals, bioinformatics and genomics, GSK, EMBL-EBI, the Wellcome Trust Sange...
Welcome to this exciting webinar: Optimize your PCR, where we will delve into the intricacies of this powerful molecular biology technique. Our speaker, Gabriel Almeida Alves, BSN, MS, PhD,...
As regulatory requirements continue to evolve, and instrumentation becomes more sophisticated, laboratories find themselves managing increasing amounts of data, a comprehensive data manageme...
Are you working for your data or are your data working for you? Over the last decade or so, labs have made the move from paper lab notebooks to digital laboratory platforms (DLPs). This is a...
Oncologists have many options when tasked with treating a patient’s cancer. Unfortunately, many cancer drugs and therapies come with potentially debilitating side effects. As such, it i...
The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is one of the most common techniques performed in both research and clinical laboratories to detect the molecules of interest in fluid samples....
Carlos Olguin will talk about LogicInk's ongoing efforts around electronics-free temporary tattoo-like devices. These devices transform in shape or color to convey useful information abou...
The pharmaceutical industry’s productivity crisis is well known with >90% of drug candidates failing in clinical testing, primarily due to unexpected toxicity or lack of efficacy. &n...
Digital Droplet PCR (ddPCR) is a method for performing digital PCR use microfluidic water-oil emulsion technology. By utilizing microfluidics and fractionating DNA samples into nanoliter dro...
Join this panel discussion with two prominent researchers in the Open Bioeconomy Lab at the University of Cambridge to hear about their work in building foundational tools for synthetic biol...
The Instrumentation Group at the BC Cancer Agency’s Genome Sciences Centre (GSC) is unusual in having an engineering group and extensive prototyping facilities embedded in a biomedical...
The application of modeling tools to better understand and control bioprocess development and manufacturing has become a hot topic within the last few years. However, what do we actually nee...
I will discuss three novel technologies that our laboratory has developed in recent years. In the first part of the talk, I will describe our work on engineering variants of the RNA-guided en...
The miniaturized total chemical analysis system has been successfully repurposed over the past twenty years or so for engineering cellular microenvironments which more faithfully mimic in viv...
Many commercially promising proteins are difficult-to-express (DTE) in living cells and are lost before an industrial production process can be established. Cell-free protein expression (CFP...
A hardware architecture was developed specifically to facilitate collaborative development and dissemination of microfluidic experiments. Modular pressure regulators, incubators, and chip-to-...
Point‑of‑care testing is the future of diagnostic solutions. Point‑of‑care testing is robust, easy to use, and provides immediate results and thus, allows treatment decisions to be made more...
Regulated laboratories must comply with numerous quality requirements that are put in place by regulatory agencies to ensure that accurate data is being generated and reported. The vast majo...
