COVID-19 is the acute pandemic, while antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a silent, pandemic. New data makes the AMR pandemic visible, with the first global study of AMR estimating that 1.27 million people die from AMR every year, making AMR the 12th-leading cause of death globally.
The biopharmaceutical company Biomunex Pharmaceuticals announces the appointment of Dr Simon Plyte as Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) and as a member of its scientific advisory board.
The EchoLUTION Tissue DNA Kit from BioEcho was developed to isolate high-quality DNA in a short time, even from difficult-to-extract samples such as muscle and adipose tissue. Due to the significantly shorter lysis and reduced number of steps, the entire workflow is three to ten times faster than conventional methods that follow the bind-wash-elute principle.
VIB and Flemish Minister of Economy and Innovation, Hilde Crevits, announce the appointment of Dr Christine Durinx as VIB’s co-managing director, alongside Dr Jérôme Van Biervliet.

While the Nasdaq Biotechnology index saw a huge uplift during the pandemic (+ 77% since March 2020 until reaching a peak in August 2021), it lost 27% during the last six months vs a 11%/4% decline for the Nasdaq Composite and the S&P 500, respectively
The SARS-CoV-2 virus global outbreak generated a need for fast and reliable large-scale testing. One of the main bottlenecks of the PCR test is the laborious and time-consuming molecular method for viral genetic material extraction. BioEcho Life Sciences, together with Hamilton and the German diagnostics laboratory Labor Dr. Fenner und Kollegen developed an automated workflow for 96- and 48-well plate formats.
