Amidst the rapid evolution of DNA sequencing technologies in past years, the industry has been working tirelessly to make genomics more accessible. Since the Human Genome Project, which saw scientists from six countries coming together to map the first human genome at nearly $3 billion over 13 years, the cost of whole-genome sequencing has fallen to less than $1,000 today. Yet, the quest to produce larger amounts of short- and long-read data in a shorter span of time and at an even lower cost continues.

The rapid growth of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) has led to more biotech companies enlisting the support of strategic partners to navigate the regulatory environment and bring their innovative products to market.

The 12th edition of the European Biotechnology Science & Industry Guide once more offers an interesting cross-section of the European biotech scene.

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.
