Recent Technological Advancements in Medicines Manufacturing

The manufacture of medicines must draw on expertise from a wide range of disciplines, from the initial investigation and design of a new drug or therapeutic to wide-scale production and distribution.

A New Breed of Vaccine: Exploring Doggybone ™ DNA Technology

Doggybone DNA ™ (dbDNA) is a technology developed by biotech company Touchlight, which is a form of linear plasmid with applications in genetic engineering and therapeutics.

Microbiology of the Cryosphere

Cryosphere refers to any region of the Earth that is frozen, most prominently glaciers, icebergs, and permafrost, including surface frozen lakes and rivers as well as the seasonally frozen ground.

Inhaled Nanomedicines and Pulmonary Disease

Inhalation-based administration of drugs and therapeutics is commonly encountered in treating pulmonary diseases, being relatively non-invasive and allowing direct delivery to the site of action.

How Can Biochemistry Practices be made Virtual?

Chemical and biochemical processes can be modeled in silico based on knowledge of the molecular structure of the species involved and understanding basic chemical interactions, allowing such processes to be described and experimented on.

Preclinical Models of Myocardial Infarction

Myocardial infarction (MI) is permanent damage to the heart following myocardial ischemia, where blood flow to the heart muscles is blocked.

Who Funds Clinical Trials?

Funding for clinical trials comes from a wide variety of sources, including government, private investors, charities, universities, and other research institutions.
