I am excited to be attending my first AACC Scientific Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo. I look forward to interacting with participants in the world’s largest clinical laboratory exposition with over 750 exhibitors from across the globe! The team from BioInformatics is anxious to learn about some of the new cutting edge technologies to be […]

Last week we attended the Semicon West 2016 trade show, presented by the Semiconductor Equipment and Materials Institute (SEMI) at Moscone Center in San Francisco. For several years, the show has been co-located with two other related meetings focusing on solar energy and photovoltaics: Solar 2016 and Intersolar North America. Organizers estimated that 30,000 attendees […]

India's Science Market

A citizen of Bangalore, India from the mid-20th century would hardly recognize the city today. The Indian metropolis, once sparsely littered with office buildings and palm trees amid crooked streets, is today dominated by skyscrapers, highways, and Starbucks coffee shops. Since the establishment of the first multinational corporation (Texas Instruments in 1985) this eastern Silicon […]

With over 25 years on the market, real-time PCR continues to be one of the most critical techniques used in biological research, clinical diagnostics and applied markets. While the market for real-time PCR is extremely mature, it remains of top shelf importance to the market and suppliers alike. Nearly half of life science researchers use […]

Since the Doudna and Charpentier labs first realized the gene-editing capabilities of the CRISPR/Cas9 system, the field expanded outward until it could be found in every corner of biological research. Whether it’s discovering oncogenes, tracking chromosomal recombination, building gRNA libraries, or identifying protein-binding domains for drug development, the versatility of CRISPR/Cas9 continues to captivate the […]

Cell-based assays are an essential component to any life scientist’s tool kit. Whether in academic or industry-based research, the versatility of cell-based assays has allowed for them to be employed in a wide range of applications. These assays allow scientists to analyze complex cellular functions, to probe the relationship between cellular dysfunction and disease, to […]
