Sitting Down With... Keith Thompson, CEO of the Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult, UK.

Pharma suppliers are teaming up to take ready-to-use technology to the next level.

Can sophisticated (spectroscopic) sensors streamline bioprocess monitoring to better meet FDA standards?

Industry is beginning to appreciate how formulation microstructure makes a fundamental contribution to dermal drug delivery – and this new understanding emphasizes the key role of excipients.

Statisticians are vital in the pharma industry, but rarely do they receive public fanfare for their work. The Award for Statistical Excellence in the Pharmaceutical Industry aims to change the status quo.

A new technique allows scientists to see conformational changes caused by ligand binding in real time, opening up new screening options for drug discovery.

A choice of fumigants are available for fumigating microbiological safety cabinets and high-level containment rooms. One substance that is still used in the industry is formaldehyde, but given that formaldehyde is toxic, carcinogenic and corrosive, you’d be better looking for alternatives.

Pharma companies are notoriously protective of their intellectual property, so it’s a big deal to open up and give knowledge away for free. Nevertheless, it is the path that LEO Pharma took with its Open Innovation platform – and they’ve learnt that, if you give a little away, you can expect much in return.
