The future of central nervous system research

10 July 2023 | By

Central nervous system (CNS) research is making breakthroughs with innovative therapies and next-generation technologies. Researchers are now able to use human tissue to identify relevant novel drug targets and biomarkers for a broad range of CNS diseases including schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. As our understanding of the brain…

More than just a microscope: how advanced imaging modalities can take your pharmaceutical research to the next level

5 July 2023 | By , ,

When you think of microscopy for drug discovery, you may picture images of fixed cells or histologically stained sections of biopsies, collected long after a drug has taken effect. Instead, imagine watching drug responses in real time in whole living animals, visualising drug delivery vehicles at nanoscale and removing the…

Key considerations before commencing cell line development

5 July 2023 | By

Cell line development (CLD) is a critical, early step when entering the development phase of a biotherapeutic. Access to specialist skills and experience, either in-house or remotely, and to multiple technologies and equipment can prove invaluable for the timely and successful completion of this stage. Here, Dr Alison Porter addresses…
