On January 7, the world's first genetically-modified pig heart transplant occurred. The surgery was not a clinical trial, but a procedure granted emergency authorization by the US Food and Drug Administration due to the patient's critical condition. What will it mean for the future of transplants?

Ion-exchange chromatography (IEX) is a class of liquid chromatography used to separate organic and inorganic molecules, in particular biomolecules. In this article, we explore how the technique works and its applications in this context.

Dr. Gayatri Sharma explores how expanding partnership focuses could help to reach, treat and heal the greatest number of people in the most efficient manner possible.

Here, we explore some of the reasons behind vaccine hesitancy and highlight potential ways to combat the issue.

In this article, we look to the technologies and innovations that will define the future of science.

My Green Lab's mission is to build a culture of sustainability in science. In this interview with CEO James Connelly, we find out how the non-profit is striving to achieve this goal.

Sophie Prosolek explores why some vaccines last a lifetime, while others do not, for Technology Networks.

In this article, we explore atomic absorption spectroscopy, what is is, how it works, strengths and limitations and the areas in which the technique finds utility.

In this article, we will compare the two key drug discovery approaches, the challenges and opportunities of each and the future of target-based drug discovery.

Most vaccine development begins with looking at the pathogen. Scientists pinpoint key residues needed for the virus to enter the body and develop vaccines that train the body to recognize signatures of the foreign invader. Kevin O'Neil Saunders, associate professor of surgery and director of research at the Duke Human Vaccine Institute at Duke University develops vaccines after analyzing the body’s immune response to a pathogen.
