(American Friends of Tel Aviv University) New technology devised by Tel Aviv University (TAU), Herzliyah Interdisciplinary (IDC) and Technion-Israel Institute of Technology researchers may soon offer an alternative to invasive and risky biopsies as a means of profiling tumor tissues.

(Children's Tumor Foundation ) The Children's Tumor Foundation (CTF), an innovative and global neurofibromatosis research foundation announced today a collaboration with DELopen, a DNA-encoded library technology platform sponsored by WuXi AppTec, a leading global provider of R&D and manufacturing services enabling companies in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries. DELopen will provide researchers free access to billions of molecules to seek insights into and […]

(Singapore University of Technology and Design) SUTD researchers developed an N-shaped electrode-based microfluidic impedance cytometry device for the simultaneous measurement of the lateral position and physical properties of single cells and particles in continuous flows. This novel microdevice can be easily integrated with other microfluidic platforms as a downstream approach for the real-time characterization of the sorting efficiency and biophysical properties of single cells.

(Penn State) In order to share, integrate and analyze research, scientists from many disciplines rely on Galaxy, a scientific workflow-management system. Despite its popularity, the system currently is not compatible with technology that would increase its speed and expand its functionality. Now, Mahmut Kandemir, professor of computer science and engineering in the Penn State College of Engineering, is working to integrate that technology and improve the capabilities of Galaxy.

(University of Warwick) Artificial intelligence can be used to predict molecular wave functions and the electronic properties of molecules. This innovative AI method developed by a team of researchers at the University of Warwick, the Technical University of Berlin and the University of Luxembourg, could be used to speed-up the design of drug molecules or new materials.
