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.

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

pharmaphorum

Ben Hargreaves finds that the vast amount of genetic data that exists today could help provide a faster, more targeted way of developing new drug candidates. The logical extension to this kind of approach is treating individual patients, with their individual genetic makeup.

The Pharma Data

“This is mostly because drugs that work perfectly in preclinical inbred models, such as laboratory mice, that are genetically or otherwise identical to each other, don’t translate to patients in the clinic, where each individual and their disease is unique.

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

Roots Analysis

While some biobanks ( especially non-clinical ones ) use mechanical freezers for storage, liquid nitrogen is one of the most reliable cryostorage mediums. Additionally, successful and long-term preservation of biological specimens have been more effective at cryogenic temperatures ( -196°C ).
