Uncovering the Food Chain’s Hidden Dangers: Low Level Dioxin Quantification by GC-MS/MS
BlogDioxins pose a significant risk to human health and are carcinogenic even at trace levels. Consumption of contaminated food is a common route of dioxin exposure. To ensure consumer safety, accurate detection and quantification of dioxins in food and animal feed is essential.
How Machine Learning Can Power Drug Discovery
BlogA recent assessment of the success of the drug development process put the percentage of phase I programs that make it to approval at 13.8%. That figure points to a crisis of attrition within the industry. Netramark, a Toronto-based start-up claim they have a machine learning-powered solution to that crisis

How Digital Data Management Is Transforming Next-Generation Sequencing
BlogNext-generation sequencing has revolutionized science by significantly increasing the speed and volume of data that can be generated for a given genome. As NGS technologies have become more affordable, in-house sequencing has become more popular, shifting away from outsourced projects using service providers. In this blog, Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Karen Velardi explains how labs and users can utilize data management techniques to get the most from their NGS results.
Biomarkers and the Future of Precision Medicine
BlogBiomarkers hold immense potential for the future of medicine, enabling more efficient and better-targeted treatments. Most coverage of novel biomarkers to date has been focused on how a patient’s genetic signature can indicate their susceptibility to a disease, but there is a world of other biological and environmental information that can impact how patients respond to treatments. In this blog, SCIEX’s Aaron Hudson explains how non-genetic biomarkers have a key role to play in reaching the goal of truly precise medicine.
Making the Move to Continuous Bioprocessing
BlogBioprocessing has taken on many forms over the years. Efficiency and process economics are driving the bioprocessing industry forward, fueling a move from traditional stainless steel to single use – and now continuous.
