Automation in Life Sciences isn't especially new, but with development costs and timescales for new products and therapies still high this seems to be towards the top of many people's thoughts. Throwing AI into the consideration, the importance of accurate labelling for identification, data and compatibility with automation technology is continuing to increase.

Fantastic to see the theme of Real World Evidence so strongly represented in this Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency strategy. We, in the UK, have such an enormous opportunity to leverage the incredible Real World Data that is generated through NHS care to better inform decision-making which directly impacts UK patients. I’d like to see us build a community around RWD, more akin to the European model, where industry, academia and the NHS can create an ecosystem to support regulators in getting new therapies and products safely, quickly and cost-effectively to the patients who need them most. Whilst Arcturis definitely has a piece of the UK RWE puzzle, I don’t believe that sustainable, systemic change is possible without collective buy-in and extensive cross-sector collaboration. I’d be keen to talk to anyone who’d be interested in pulling together to put our collective minds and skills towards creating a more joined-up RWD and RWE ecosystem. #realworlddata #realworldevidence #uk #collaboration #data #healthdata #healthtech #healthresearch #datadrivenresearch #patients #populationhealth #nhsdata #pharma #clinicaldevelopment

In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month (a cause I am personally passionate about) I found some tips on how colleagues can support each other to look after our mental health at work. * Check in with your colleagues on a regular basis and ask them how they are doing * Encourage your colleagues to take a proactive approach to looking after their wellbeing * Understand your role and responsibility in creating a mentally healthy culture * Work towards creating a positive motivational climate for colleagues where they can thrive and be nurtured * Encourage colleagues to talk openly about how they are feeling and what they are thinking * Be supportive of colleagues who might be struggling. Listen to them, be understanding and demonstrate warmth and empathy * Support each other to practice active coping skills (Ex: Going for a walk or engage in deep breathing) * Fight against the stigma attached to mental healthy by being aware of the signs and symptoms of common mental health problems * Encourage colleagues to look after their physical health by staying active throughout the working day * Support colleagues to become aware of external support (like a company EAP program)

How do growth factors produce cell division? Growth factors promote cell proliferation by initiating a chain of events when they bind to their receptors, which ripple through the cell. Our latest blog article explains these events. https://lnkd.in/eSS-qsjS

https://lnkd.in/eMnPdwZs Read the latest blog on the comparison of molecular detection Techniques: SYBR Green Vs. TaqMan written by our expert Product Manager John Probert at 2BScientific Ltd. #TaqMan and #SYBR Green #PCR techniques are critical for research in molecular biology, driving advancements in investigations and diagnostics. Here’s why they're essential: Gene Expression Analysis and Biomarker Detection: SYBR Green PCR for screening, followed by TaqMan PCR for precise quantification and validation. Microbial Detection and Oncology: SYBR Green PCR for broad screening, TaqMan PCR for accurate quantification of specific targets. Epigenetics Studies, Pharmacogenomics, and Personalised Medicine: SYBR Green PCR's early assessment complements TaqMan PCR's precision, aiding informed treatment decisions. Check out the detailed article from 2BScientific covering the utilisation of TaqMan and SYBR Green, along with our selection of superior research reagents suitable for PCR and various research applications. #hereforyou #2bscientific #molecular
