A New System for DNA/RNA Delivery in Cancer Therapeutics
Industry InsightCancer immunotherapies and viral vaccines that are nucleic acid-based can be challenging to formulate and require highly specific delivery systems. Commonly adopted delivery systems, such as lipid nanoparticles and viral vectors, can have limitations, therefore alternative approaches are being developed. Technology Networks recently spoke with Nigel Theobald, CEO and Founder of N4 Pharma, to learn more about nanoparticle drug delivery, the Nuvec® platform and its progress towards clinical trials.

The Power of Positrons
Industry InsightOver the last five to ten years, multi-modal imaging has become established as a significant component of a preclinical researcher’s analytical toolbox. Here, we highlight perhaps the most used and certainly the most sensitive and quantitative of these imaging modalities, the combination of positron emission tomography (PET) with X-ray computed tomography (CT), or PET/CT.

Leveraging AI To Find the “Right” Clinical Trial
Industry InsightLess than 5% of adult cancer patients enroll in clinical trials even though it is estimated that a large percentage (70% of Americans) are very willing to take part in a clinical study. So, why is there such a large discrepancy in the number of actual participants versus those willing to, but not actually participating?
