Meet the Flower Designer Who Built a Laboratory In His Home

Codon

In a quiet New York town, an amateur scientist has constructed a fully equipped research laboratory in which to advance plant biology research. ” Earlier this year, we sent a photographer to Sebastian’s home laboratory. ” Earlier this year, we sent a photographer to Sebastian’s home laboratory.

Machine learning guides researchers to new synthetic genetic switches

Broad Institute

What is special about these synthetically designed elements is that they show remarkable specificity to the target cell type they were designed for," said Ryan Tewhey, an associate professor at The Jackson Laboratory and co-senior author of the work with Steven Reilly of Yale, and Pardis Sabeti of the Broad. In a paper published in Oct.

Merkin Prize in Biomedical Technology awarded to F. William Studier for development of widely used protein- and RNA-production platform

Broad Institute

William Studier for development of widely used protein- and RNA-production platform The $400,000 award recognizes the far-reaching medical impacts of Studier’s development, in the 1980s, of an efficient and scalable technology to produce mass amounts of RNA and proteins in laboratories that is widely used today all over the world.

Logistics in Focus: Orchestrating the Challenges of Cell Therapy

Conversations in Drug Development Trends

For example, once considered incurable and terminal, patients with sickle cell disease may reach new summits in their lives with gene editing technologies such as CRISPR to repair affected DNA and, in some cases, functionally cure the condition. These advanced therapeutics harness the power of molecular biology to improve human health.

However, with so many individual processes involved in NGS library preparation, you might think that automating this workflow requires several instruments costing large amounts of laboratory space. Enter firefly ®. What benefits can you expect to see from making the switch to automated liquid handling with firefly?

However, they plod along as they clone plasmids—the loops of DNA that biologists use to manipulate and study organisms—because propagating them relies, in part, on the pace at which cells grow and divide. Most medicines, including insulin and semaglutide (the weight loss drug), are made using DNA cloning. However, E.
