Biotinylated nucleotides have emerged as a powerful tool in molecular biology, enabling researchers to explore genetic materials with unprecedented precision and sensitivity. These modified nucleotides, attached to the vitamin biotin, facilitate a variety of applications, including nucleic acid labeling, detection, and manipulation. What Are Biotinylated Nucleotides? Biotinylated nucleotides are nucleotide molecules that have been chemically modified to include a biotin group -- a small, water-soluble vitamin known for its strong affinity for avidin or streptavidin. This affinity allows biotinylated nucleotides to be easily captured and detec…

What is an Electronic Data Capture (EDC) System in Clinical Trials? Electronic Data Capture (EDC) systems are specialised software platforms designed to collect, manage, and store data in clinical trials. They replace traditional paper-based methods with secure, efficient, and highly accurate digital solutions. By automating data collection and streamlining management processes, EDC systems enhance data quality, minimise errors, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. These systems are essential for modern clinical research, enabling real-time data access and integration with other clinical trial tools, thereby improving overall trial efficiency a…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a distant innovation — it's now a core part of the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries. From accelerating drug discovery to transforming regulatory processes, AI is changing how pharmaceutical professionals work. As automation and intelligent systems become more embedded in daily operations, adapting to these changes is essential for long-term career success. Here are six ways professionals in the pharmaceutical field can reskil…

Authored by Ramji Vasudevan, Head of Life Sciences and Adam Caplan, President of Digital Business and AI at Altimetrik Historically cautious about adopting new technologies, the pharmaceutical industry is experiencing a remarkable transformation. Driven by competitive pressures and compelling early successes, pharma companies are increasingly embracing artificial intelligence and digital engineering to reimagine their…

Breaking into or advancing within medical writing in the UK and Europe requires more than just a strong scientific background — employers look for candidates who can communicate complex data clearly, understand industry regulations, and collaborate effectively. This guide covers the top interview questions you're likely to encounter, with expert tips on how to answer them, and direct links to current opportunities on PharmiWeb.Jobs. 1. “Can you describe your scientific background and how it applies to medical writing?” Why they ask: …

If you’re exploring careers in the life sciences, you’ve likely come across two terms that sound similar but serve distinct functions in the pharmaceutical industry: Medical Communications and Medical Affairs. While both roles support the development and dissemination of scientific inform…

In a bold move to reshape the landscape of pharmaceutical manufacturing in the US, President Donald Trump has signed an executive order on May 5 aimed at streamlining regulatory hurdles for domestic producers while tightening the reins on foreign manufacturers. This directive, which instructs the FDA to expedite the approval process for US pharmaceutical facilities, has ignited a wave of skepticism within the industry regarding its potential effectiveness, says GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company. Kathryn Kinch, Senior P…

Tasked with achieving a CpK and PpK of greater than 2.0 on every single dimension on the component (over 30 dimensions in total), a collaborative effort from the entire Micro Systems team from mould design, mould manufacture, metrology and process development has enabled Micro Systems to meet all requirements set out by customer to ensure the life-saving device can meet the stringent requirements set out by industry regulators. For components for devices such as epinephrine auto-injectors, any failure would lead to severe consequences for patients, up to and including fatal anaphylactic shock. Extremely hi…
Pharmaceutical laboratories and life-science manufacturers sit on a goldmine of intellectual property and patient data. Cybercriminals know this. Their favorite entry tactic is the humble phishing email — now turbo-charged with social engineering tricks and mobile delivery channels. Taking care of the problem requires closely evaluating present and emerging threats and devising a multi-layered defense strategy. The…

An executive order from the Trump administration has reintroduced the “most favored nation” (MFN) policy, which aims to cut drug costs by aligning U.S. prices with those of other countries. The mandate lacks specifics on execution and enforcement, injecting even more uncertainty into the pharmaceutical market. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has 30 days to define how the policy will work in practice. At first, compliance by pharma manufacturers will be voluntary, but…

In today’s rapidly evolving clinical research landscape, one of the most critical—and often overlooked—threats to trial success is the enrollment of duplicate subjects and professional research participants. These individuals, who often enroll in multiple trials simultaneously or serially without appropriate washout periods, can significantly compromise data integrity, subject safety, and the overall success of a clinical study. For more than a decade, Verified Clinical Trials (VCT) has led the industry in both detecting and preventing duplicate subjects and professional research participants through its comprehensive Research Subject Database Registry. Used in over 4…
