Identified 115 Proteins That Would Allow Designing New Generation Anti-Cancer Drugs
Researchers from the Research Programme on Biomedical Informatics (GRIB) from the IMIM (Hospital del Mar Research Institute) and the Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) have identified 115 proteins in silico (via computer simulation) that could be highly relevant to treat colon-rectal cancer, since they would make it possible to define the strategy to design new generation anti-cancer drugs.

Avoiding Drug Shortages With Microbial Detection
Over the past year, critical drug shortages used to treat a host of life-threatening illnesses have been making headlines. Microbial contamination has been cited as a major contributor to the shortage, yet the prevailing practices to ensure the safety of drugs have been slow to change. In most cases, quality assurance practices safeguarding the drug making environment continue to rely on periodic air and a culturing method from a prior century.

Turning Data Into Information
As biopharmaceutical manufacturing has evolved from small-scale lab production in small flasks to massive commercial production in deep-tank bioreactors, an avalanche of production data has evolved to support it. From individual unit operation skids to distributed control systems and enterprise resource planning tools, biomanufacturing today is buried by the sheer quantity of data coming in from the manufacturing floor.
