Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University's Computational Biology Department in the School of Computer Science have developed a new process that could reinvigorate the search for natural product drugs to treat cancers, viral infections and other ailments.

Life sciences company Eppendorf is presenting its research prize for the 26th time. The independent Award Jury chaired by Prof. Reinhard Jahn announced Dr. Tanmay Bharat, Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, University of Oxford, United Kingdom as the winner of the Eppendorf Award for European Investigators 2021.

New MRT technologies developed by Waters enable scientists to explore molecular structure and function through the precise identification and localization of individual molecules in samples. The company promises that results are achieve with a unique combination of speed, resolution, and mass accuracy.

A new study has focused on developing stem cell-derived midbrain dopamine progenitors for the treatment of Parkinson’s Disease. It cites how Amsbio's Stem-Cellbanker animal-free cryopreservation media has played a role in the development. The therapy will soon be going into clinical trials.

Researchers at KU Leuven (Belgium) have developed a 3D printing technique that extends the possibilities of lateral flow testing. These tests are widespread in the form of the classic pregnancy test and the Covid-19 self-tests. With the new printing technique, advanced diagnostic tests can be produced that are quick, cheap, and easy to use.

A new mathematical model for the interaction of bacteria in the gut could help design new probiotics and specially tailored diets to prevent diseases. The research, from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, was recently published in the journal PNAS.

Being able to detect an infection with SARS-CoV-2 and to distinguish its variants can be decisive for gauging the spread of disease and selecting the right therapy. Researchers from Würzburg at the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research (HIRI) tackle this challenge with a new CRISPR discovery they translated into a diagnostic platform called Leopard.

Protein engineering is one of the most important — and time consuming — processes of drug development. ​Artificial Intelligence is now capable of generating novel, functionally active proteins, thanks to recently published work by researchers from Chalmers.

Scientists at the University of Würzburg, Germany, and the biopharmaceutical company Aeterna Zentaris are working on the development of an oral vaccine against Covid-19. Preclinical development, which should pave the way for the first clinical trials in humans, has already begun.

A team at the Salk institute revealed a never-before-seen antibody binding, informing both liver cancer and antibody design. The multi-institute collaboration used X-ray crystallography and recombinant antibodies to uncover the workings of an elusive molecule central to human health.
