As scientists make biological models, it is difficult to create frameworks of mathematics and formula’s around it. Usually this requires significant customization for each model. Dr Sorger’ Lab has developed a Python framework for creating systems biology models. These translate the equations to the models and allow a tedious task to be significantly simplified by…
When someone patents a new technology or product and want other people to use it, they typically allow licensing of the technology for a fee or a charge. The licensing terms are negotiated carefully and avidly by both the parties that allows the licensee to make money while the licensor gets to use the technology…
Social Media has become the number one area to focus if you believe all the literature and articles that have been written on it. If your organization does not do social media (Facebook, Twitter, or Linkedin) in addition to other advertising methods then it cannot hope to capture the minds of the audience, so goes…
Development of any one field requires corresponding development in other fields. Sometimes the fields are so unrelated that it seems amazing that one field would have influenced the other. But consider the link between diagnostic tests and the observation that the sky is blue. This is not about “blue sky thinking” but rather a direct…
Unlike all other modes of spectroscopy that are used in Pharma companies – for example measurement of protein or DNA the most predominant one is Raman Spectroscopy. The one technique that has been used predominantly in the Pharmaceutical companies is Raman spectroscopy. This is a relatively simple technique that is used to identify the specific…
Nearly 100 cancer physicians had published a report in Blood that the prices of drugs for cancer that typically cost about $100,000 per year are unsustainable and something needs to be done to manage that for the patients. The article is worth a read and compares a UK study which typically puts as a life…
The news story today is about Concert Pharmaceuticals partnering with Celgene to develop Concert’s deuterated compounds. Concert and Auspex are two pharmaceutical companies pursuing the deuterated compound as a unique drugs but the science is a bit of a mystery. Hydrogen and its isotope Deuterium exists in nature and thus any compound will exist in…
Computational lexicology methods try to understand human behavior, cultural norms through analysis of texts. These methods try to enlist the usage of words through the years and conclude what has changed in human behavior over the years. There have been various studies done, one in particular in which Harvard scientists showed that nearly 50% of…
Looking at samples under a microscope that are unstained typically shows nothing. Without a stain to show the sample, most specimens would look invisible and transparent. However, one technique that has been used in microscopes for a very long time is called differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy and is dependent on a very simple principle….
For most people the concept of robotics is scary. It means automatic machines that take engineers to program and then they operate like automatons performing repeated functions over and over again till they are stopped. If you are in the way of the operations, then it means destruction to you! However, a new company “rethink…
