NMR Spectroscopy in the Pharmaceutical Industry

To comply with FDA and MHRA regulations, pharmaceutical companies must have robust quality control measures in place. In this webinar, Dr. Kerry Hughes, Technical Leader at Almac, will provide an overview of good manufacturing practice (GMP) and explain how the company is using NMR spectroscopy to comply with the strict regulations that surround drug discovery and manufacturing.

Sign up now for this webinar, taking place on January 28th, 2020.

			Rejuvenating the BCG Vaccine A new primate study published in the journal Nature in January 2020, reports that the almost century-old BCG vaccine against tuberculosis, may be used differently to achieve better protection against lung tuberculosis. While more work remains to be carried out before the findings can be accepted as the basis for clinical practice, they are extremely promising in the fight against this killer.

			New screening platform helped scientists to discover drug-like compounds A sophisticated new screening platform developed by scientists at Scripps Research has enabled them to discover a set of drug-like compounds, including an ingredient found in sore throat lozenges, that may powerfully protect brain cells from dangerous stresses found in Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases.

	A new deep learning approach to predict disease-associated mutations During the past years, artificial intelligence (AI) -- the capability of a machine to mimic human behavior -- has become a key player in high-techs like drug development projects.

	Measuring glycans in samples of antibodies When Lorna De Leoz invited laboratories to participate in her glycomics study, she hoped for 20 responses. Instead, she was deluged by emails from around the world.

	Scientists secure funding to develop better methods for evaluation of topically applied drugs A team of leading scientists from Bath University UK, the UK's National Physical Laboratory, and the Colorado School of Mines USA has secured funding from the US Food and Drug Administration to develop better methods to assess the performance of topically applied drug products.

	Boston researchers develop novel approach to generate intestinal organoids in vitro Boston researchers have developed a new way to generate groups of intestinal cells that can be used, among others, to make disease models in the lab to test treatments for diseases affecting the gastrointestinal system.
