Our resident gene editing expert, Dr. Yann Jouvenot, provides an overview of CRISPR gene editing and how it is affecting how research and development are being performed in the Biotech and Pharma industries.

Our new immune cell lineage and marker database provides an interactive way to help you easily examine detailed marker data, view immune cell marker expression, and find the antibody to your marker. Learn more and try out the interactive tool for yourself.

The typical success rate of a clinical trial is less than ten percent. Pharmaceutical companies are using a variety of methods to save time and reduce costs to get drugs to market faster. Biomarker screening is proving to be an effective way to improve the drug discovery and development process. See one of the ways Pharma companies can identify the most relevant biomarkers.

Despite the fact that antibodies are one of the most frequently used tools in life science and clinical research, there are no universally accepted guidelines to ensure that they have been properly validated. Learn about the issues facing researchers and what antibody suppliers and researchers can do to ensure that the research being carried out is trustworthy and is helping to improve overall data quality.

Our resident gene editing expert, Dr. Yann Jounenvat, provides an overview of the four main gene editing techniques that are being used in life science research today. Learn about the pros and cons of each of method and where they are best applied.

Real-time PCR is a common and easy-to-adopt technology. By keeping a few simple steps in mind as you design and run your experiments you can ensure high-quality, reproducible data.

Disease-associated mutations can be prognostic of outcome and inform treatment choices. However, traditional tissue biopsies limit the ability to implement personalized treatments. Read about how multiplex digital PCR can enable the tracking of treatment efficacy using liquid biopsies.

Gene augmentation and antisense therapies treat disease by providing a functional copy of faulty gene or repressing its expression. Find out how gene editing tools, like CRISPR, promise a more permanent cure.

In this fourth and final part of the series on assessing the health of your cells, we review the different stages of necroptosis, see how it differs from apoptosis, and learn about the various methods of assessing cellular necroptosis.

See how one study used Bio-Rad’s Bio-Plex Pro Human Cytokine 27-Plex Assay to investigate immune responses to an anti-viral compound in an effort to better understand vaccine efficacy.
