iFp is so next level

Excited to join this discussion on AI in cancer care and research!

Scientists at Inventia Life Science were challenged by their collaborator to generate a 3D neuronal model that closely resembled the human brain, was scalable to 96 well formats, was assay-ready, and was consistent enough to deploy across multiple labs. No small task! Inventia achieved this by combining ioGlutamatergic Neurons from https://hubs.ly/Q02Lj4Rv0 with iPSC-derived astrocytes, printed together in a 3D matrix using Inventia’s RASRTUM platform. As a result, their collaborator was able to build new drug discovery assays with improved physiological relevance. Watch the webinar on-demand to discover how: https://hubs.ly/Q02Lj8BR0

Neuron and astrocyte compatability with RASTRUM, and the relevance for drug discovery assays- check out this webinar on-demand!

Interesting webinar on developing 3D cell models in neuroscience! RASTRUM 3D neuronal models, closely resembling the human brain, are paving the way for more accurate drug discovery and research. #Neuroscience #DrugDiscovery #Innovation #3Dcellmodels

While the current zeitgeist in the world is indeed of gloom and doom, I think we also need to acknowledge the good stuff that took place in 2023 which gives us hope for better days to come: from breakthroughs in medicine, through important progress in climate action, to social rights and more… In the comments I’m putting a few extra overviews in science, Space, etc. May 2024 be even more filled with good news of peace, justice, dignity and prosperity!

Excited to moderate a panel with these smarties!! 🧠 Comment below with any questions you think I should ask. Keep it PG!

The Power of Small Steps: A Lesson from Marie Curie. Women in tech, this one’s for YOU! Think breakthroughs come from giant leaps? Here’s the truth: It’s the small, determined steps that pave the way for greatness. Marie Curie didn’t start with fame or massive resources. She started with curiosity and grit. In a tiny lab, she made small discoveries that changed the course of history: she discovered radium and polonium and revolutionized cancer treatment through radiation therapy. What’s stopping you from taking your first small step today? Whether it’s: ↳Exploring a new coding language ↳Joining that community, you’ve been eyeing ↳Pitching that bold idea you’ve been holding onto Every small step compounds. The micro-actions you take today can snowball into a breakthrough you never saw coming. Marie Curie didn’t wait for the “right” time. She just started. And with each step, her work compounded into a legacy that changed the world. No matter how small, keep pushing forward. Those little steps are the ones that lead to your biggest success. Here's to an impactful week!

The non-coding RNAs in cancer field is, according to Smut Clyde "a very peculiar field of biomedical science once invented by fraudsters in Carlo Croce lab and turned into a gigantic billion-dollar garbage industry operated by Chinese papermills". An exaggeration? Read this article. The whole field is now tainted. https://lnkd.in/ewCq2FZw
