The orchestrated lab: Moving beyond siloed automation

Many laboratories have invested in automation, yet workflows often remain fragmented, with disconnected instruments, data, and processes creating inefficiencies and limiting scalability. As scientific workflows grow more complex, automation alone is no longer enough. Leading labs are now embracing orchestration, the coordination of instruments, robotics, software, data, and people across the… Read More

Cracking sensitivity and resistance to Pan-RAS(ON) inhibition with KRAS

KRAS mutations are among the most prevalent oncogenic drivers in solid tumours, yet predicting which patients will respond to targeted therapy — and understanding why resistance inevitably emerges — remains one of the central challenges in oncology drug development. ‘Cracking KRAS: Decoding Sensitivity and Resistance to Pan-RAS(ON) Inhibition Across Patient-Derived… Read More
