The 11th edition of the European Biotechnology Science & Industry Guide once more offers an interesting cross-section of the European biotech scene.
Exosome Diagnostics develops biofluid-based molecular diagnostic tests for use in personalized medicine and collaborates with pharmaceutical companies to develop companion diagnostics (CDx).
With many complex factors affecting a therapeutic candidate’s chances of approval, partnering with a qualified service provider can be the most effective way to produce material for clinical trials. Outsourcing allows you to delay critical capacity decisions until the fate of your molecule is more certain but, how do you ensure this approach results in a successful process that’s delivered within your target timeline?
The current debates regarding vaccine production and logistics have also made it clear even to the layman: Pharmaceutical production depends on cold. Temperatures below -80?°C are just as common as the requirement to freeze precursors such as blood plasma within a specified time period. Refrigeration specialists with pharmaceutical know-how are in demand for these challenging tasks.
Although innovative biotechnologies are developed continuously, the method of nucleic acid extraction stayed unchanged for several decades. The classical bind-wash-elute approach seemed sufficient, but the COVID-19 pandemic uncovered the need for a new technique to be able to process multiple samples fast and in parallel. BioEcho developed a completely new technology, which simplifies and speeds up the process of RNA extraction dramatically.
Together with star investor Kleiner Perkins, Origenis GmbH, a privately held German biopharmaceutical company, successfully establishes its new business model for the clinical development of its neuroprotective drug pipeline. The formation and financing of Neuron23 Inc. was announced in South San Francisco.
The association of a low HS-Omega-3 Index® and mortality from COVID-19 is analyzed in a comprehensive study with Munich hospital.
The BioXp system is the world’s only automated platform for on-demand DNA assembly and amplification.
The Vienna Business Agency has set up affordable and flexible Startup Labs at the Vienna BioCenter. This will speed up the evaluation and implementation of new business ideas in biotechnology by the next coming generation of bio-entrepreneurs. Key assets include close proximity to outstanding academic research and highly successful innovators as well as access to cutting-edge research infrastructure.
Commemorative publication for the 25th anniversary of the IZB presents 70 profiles and visions of successful biotech start-ups. The 360-page publication describes the development of the Innovation and Start- up Center for Biotechnology into the leading biotechnology center in Europe
