The eighth eBook of the Hamilton series is now available to download for free. In ‘Assessing the Efficacy of Vaccines through Laboratory Assays‘, the authors discuss the key milestones achieved throughout the history of vaccine development, the laboratory tests commonly used to assess vaccines’ efficacy, and we describe how the latter can be automated using […]

In the eighth eBook of the Hamilton series, ‘Assessing the Efficacy of Vaccines through Laboratory Assays’, we discuss: Vaccine development: Key milestones and impact of Covid-19 Laboratory tests commonly used to assess vaccines’ efficacy and the benefits of automating them Hamilton standardised and customised solutions for workflows such as qPCR, NGS, ELISA/ELISpot and virus-neutralisation assays

The HepGo Assay-ready 3D Liver Spheroid Kit leverages Corning Life Science’s 3D cell culture technology in liver biology and ADME/Tox. Corning has developed an all-in-one solution for the development of 3D liver models that has been designed to better recapitulate in vivo behaviour. The kit is said to deliver a more physiologically relevant model over […]

Effective preclinical assessment of drug safety and efficacy is essential to help reduce the risk of drug-induced toxicity and late-stage drug attrition. Current preclinical tests for safety depend on in vivo testing in higher-order species to achieve translational accuracy; however, animal models are expensive and do not adequately recapitulate human physiology due to species differences. […]

Novadiscovery (NOVA), a health tech company offering JINKO, a clinical trial simulation platform to predict drug efficacy and optimise clinical trial development, has announced its new collaboration with Takeda Pharmaceutical. This is aimed at incorporating clinical simulation technology on virtual patients into Takeda France’s access strategy and building on an existing relationship between the companies […]
