The collaboration between the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI), academia, and industry leaders within pharma and digital could help medicines reach patients up to a year faster (30 April 2024).
The collaboration will develop a working model of a cloud-first manufacturing facility that will use technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and the Internet of Things (IoT) to accelerate the speed at which new medicines are made.  Using these technologies in pharma could lead to patients gaining faster access to innovative treatments and could reduce operational costs for manufacturers by up to 30 per cent.  Alongside cost reduction, digital manufacturing technologies also allow greater agility to scale production and meet changing demand, with som…
Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are RNA molecules that cannot be translated into proteins. ncRNAs are found in a wide range of organisms and serve a number of roles. Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are traditional noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) that transform genetic information from messenger RNA (mRNA) to amino acid sequence information in nascent proteins.

Bioinformaticsis a rapidly evolving field filled with a plethora of tools for processing and manipulating next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. The performance of NGS alignment tools continues to improve, but it now takes more time to sort aligned data than to align it. SAMtools and sambamba are two commonly used tools for sorting binary alignment map (BAM) files.

Whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) converts unmethylated cytosine (C) to thymine (T) with the bisulfite treatment on genomic DNA. Subsequently, whole genome resequencing of the treated DNA and comparison with the reference genome were performed to achieve single-base resolution and high-accuracy methylation level analysis from the genomic level.
DNA methylation is an important component of epigenetics and plays an important role in maintaining normal cellular function, genetic imprinting, embryonic development, and human tumorigenesis. Whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) converts unmethylated cytosine (C) to thymine (T) with the bisulfite treatment on genomic DNA. Subsequently, whole genome resequencing of the treated DNA and comparison with the…
RNA methylation stands as a pivotal focus within the realm of epigenetics. With a repertoire exceeding 100 distinct modifications, notable examples include methylation, hydroxymethylation, and acetylation. Among these, m6A stands as the most prevalent methylation modification on RNA, averaging 1 to 3 m6A modifications per transcript.

Santosh Sahu, CEO and Founder of Charac, discusses why England's 'Pharmacy First' is vital in improving patient access to healthcare, but will only succeed if pharmacies adapt.
At the end of January, England put into practice a new ‘Pharmacy First’ approach to healthcare, encouraging patients to seek treatment from their pharmacist rather than a GP for minor illnesses such as sore throats or shingles - set against the dire reality of one in 20 patients currently waiting at least four weeks to see a GP. The implementation of Pharmacy First is designed to cut down wait times, giving patients quicker access to quality healthcare. However, the government’s proposed plans have not entirely accounted for additional support required by community pharmacies. The Pharmacy Landscape Although this fra…
GCP courses are some of the most widespread online trainings. So how do we choose where to register and which course to purchase?
Online training courses become more and more popular. The pharmaceutical industry also follows this trend. GCP courses are some of the most widespread online trainings. So how do we choose where to register and which course to purchase? There are several important points we need to consider before making our decision: The first one and probably most important is accreditation. What does an accredited course mean? meets national quality assurance requirements. meets an established industry, enterprise, educational, legislative or community need provides appropriate competency outcomes and a basis for assessment It is always better to have a course that is accred…
Lipids are the basic substances that make up biological membranes. Through lipid-lipid interactions and interactions between lipids and other biomolecules, a complex network of lipid metabolism is formed, which is involved in a large number of life activities. By studying lipid extracts, information about the lipidome can be obtained. Lipidomics studies lipids in organisms at a systematic level, revealing their interactions and interactions with other biomolecules.

Trillions of microorganisms live in the gastrointestinal tract, far outnumbering the body's own cells. The intestinal flora is involved in many physiological and pathological processes in the host, including digestion and absorption of food, metabolism of certain nutrients and pharmaceutical compounds, development of host immunity, intestinal inflammatory states, and more. Dysbiosis of the intestinal flora is associated with a variety of human metabolic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes mellitus, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
