CMT Research Foundation’s Post

🌟 Great presentations by Yike Xie, Evgeniia Shcherbinina, Gayathri Narasimhan, and Angana Patel (who presented in place of Nadia Gul) during the WCMTM and AstraZeneca postdoc seminar in April! In this industry postdoc program, a PI from each organization joins forces with a shared postdoctoral researcher. Together they conduct a research project focused on innovation and health benefits. While presenting methodologies, results, and timelines, the postdocs also underscored a vital aspect: the invaluable access to both the university and the AstraZeneca labs, capabilities, and network. Pernille B. Laerkegaard Hansen who is Executive Director and Head of Bioscience Renal and CVRM at AstraZeneca, was one of the participants at the seminar: “The joint postdoc program is intended as a close collaboration allowing the researchers to work as one single team, although placed in different organizations and locations,” Pernille said.

Exciting news from Novo Nordisk Foundation 🌱   I am happy to share that the Novo Nordisk Foundation is launching the Challenge Programme 2025, calling upon pioneering researchers to explore four new important research themes!   I am teasing one of these themes: 'Heterogeneity in Biomanufacturing' in this film: https://lnkd.in/dDQYESMb   Watch the film to get a sense of how this research theme challenges the brightest minds to unravel the complexities of biomanufacturing processes, enhancing efficiency and sustainability in the bioeconomy. We're seeking innovative approaches to detect, control, and mitigate variability, boosting process performance across the board.   With a grant of up to DKK 60 million for 6 years, we're empowering researchers to form dynamic, potentially cross-disciplinary teams, and to push the boundaries of synthetic biology, microbiology, process engineering, and analytical and digital methodologies.   At Novo Nordisk Foundation, we believe in a future where biomanufacturing is not only efficient but also conserves energy and natural resources, contributing to a greener planet.   Embrace the power of data science as a core component of your research to unlock new efficiencies and insights in biomanufacturing processes.   Join us in this journey to revolutionise biomanufacturing and tackle some of the most critical challenges of our time.

🌎 #Biocat leads a mission to Boston to strengthen #BioRegionCatalonia ties with this leading region in healthcare innovation in the United States. Some key highlights: ✔ The participation in the World Medical Innovation Forum, the top event in the Boston innovation ecosystem. With 2.000 industry leaders, including C-level executives and heads of research institutions. ✔ Established connections with the Massachusetts General Brigham MESH Incubator and Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research to discuss collaborative opportunities in clinical research and advanced therapies. The mission featured representatives from 12 key institutions in the BioRegion, members of the Advanced Therapies Network of Catalonia, including: Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP), Institut de Recerca Sant Pau, Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), Leitat Technological Center, Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology (BIST) and the companies MiMark diagnostics, Reig Jofre and Farmhispania Group. Biocat CEO Robert Fabregat Fuentes and Strategic Foresight and International Relations Director Montse Daban Marín attended on behalf of the organization. The mission was organized by #Biocat with the Catalan Ministry for European Union and Foreign Action, Catalan Ministry of Health and Catalan Ministry of Research and Universities. https://lnkd.in/dZwdy7Ne

Our 2024 State of Science update is live. Here are a few key takeaways that could enhance your commercial strategy: - Scientists are planning to do more with less — and that's greatly shifting their scientific priorities - They are looking outside their own organizations to advance their research — especially in translational and clinical research - Barriers in life science are evolving and are no longer limited to experimental factors or economic conditions — marking an opportunity for organizations to *really* build trust Read the full report — with key indicators, charts, and even more insights — over on our website: https://lnkd.in/gWASmMD7

The rapid sharing of science by posting preprints on bioRxiv and medRxiv allows different community-organized groups to review and write about preprints. Check out this preprint by Sarre et al. (https://lnkd.in/ec86Mp6Z) that was recently highlighted on preLights. Different scientific communities can organize reviews or write highlights of preprints and have them linked on the preprint’s page. If a preprint has “Community Reviews”, these will be indicated on the launchbar below the preprint’s DOI (3rd icon with three people will be highlighted in red) and the link to the review will appear on the dashboard that opens on the right. Preprint reviews are a great way for early career researchers to get involved in peer review, gain experience and network with fellow researchers.
