Q&A: Gene therapy opportunities from long-read sequencing 

Drug Discovery World

Breakthroughs in gene therapy are only possible with an exact understanding of the genetic underpinnings of disease. To develop safe and effective gene therapies, researchers need confidence that genomic data is both complete and accurate. For years now the UK has been somewhat of a leader in genomic research.

Can genetic data be a magic bullet for drug R&D?

pharmaphorum

One of the reasons is because researchers now have far more genetic data to work with than was ever previously possible. With such a drop in cost, this means that researchers can test far more often and work with far more genetic data than previously possible.

Cryomacs Freezing Bags – A Critical Component in the Successful Delivery of Biological Samples and Therapies

Roots Analysis

Even though, appropriately preserved biologics have immense potential for use in basic research and other medical applications, damage sustained by the membrane during freezing and thawing results in osmotic shock, which can ultimately lead to cell death.
