New technologies make possible advancements in life science research, the development of drugs and therapeutics, and molecular diagnostics. They are critical to the study of genes, cells, and proteins and ultimately a deeper understanding of biological systems and disease mechanisms.

The Life Science Industry Awards (LSIAs) acknowledge innovative products introduced within the last year that contribute to the progress of science. The LSIAs are selected by BioInformatics Inc. which draws upon its network of scientific experts and lab personnel to choose the winners.

This year’s LSIA winners represent a cross section of major laboratory equipment and consumable providers. The solutions address many of the most prominent recent developments in the life sciences, including CRISPR, single-cell genomics and protein analysis. These innovative products illustrate the successful of commercialization of technologies in response to scientists’ evolving R&D needs.

“The companies we honor with these prestigious awards are innovators who enable academic, clinical, and pharma/biotech scientists to make new discoveries and diagnosis,” commented Bill Kelly, President of Bioinformatics. “We’re proud to have supported them as they seek to enable the discovery of new genes, new cellular mechanisms, new protein functions and ultimately the discovery of new treatments that make lives better.”
