Creative Medical Research is working with a medical device manufacturer to find Lab Managers, Lab Technicians and Pathologists to take part in 60 minute face-to-face interviews in London and Manchester. The research relates to a new blood analysis device for lab settings and the interviews are required as part of the regulatory approval process. Not only will your involvement help the client move towards approval, it will also give you an opportunity to influence the final design of the device, ensuring it is fit for purposes and optimised from the user’s perspective....
Science communication refers to the process of effectively relaying the facts and findings from scientific studies to other scientists, non-experts and the general public. This helps people understand broader implications of scientific studies for society. Here, Maya Raghunandan, freelancer for online platform for freelance scientists Kolabtree and molecular biologist, explains how scientists can help with effective science communication.....
Raremark, the leading patient-data platform in rare disease, has raised £3m in funding from investors, led by AlbionVC and Ananda Ventures, with participation from Oltre Venture and from existing major investor the Cass Entrepreneurship Fund. The funding will be used to develop Raremark’s patient-engagement and data-analysis technology, helping biopharmaceutical companies to identify, engage and learn from patients, accelerating the development of new treatments....
The Matrix Gemini LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) from Autoscribe Informatics can offer contract laboratories much more than the day to day management of laboratory workflows. It also provides the functionality for management of a variety of activities essential to running the business, such as the creation of quotations, order booking, allocation of appropriate prices, generation of results and customer reports and the production of invoices, either directly or...
Again and again consumers are confronted with scandals in the foodstuff industry. The latest case is the Fipronil egg scandal in the laying hen farming in the Netherlands and in Lower Saxony (Germany). What actually do foodstuff producers and marketers do to avoid such cases? A lot, if you believe the rising costs in the area of modern foodstuff analysis. So during the last decades, always newer and more sophisticated processes will be and were developed with the most sensitive detection thresholds (ELISA, PCR or the mycotoxin analysis) for quality control...
