Academics & Scientists as Biotech Communicators

July 21, 2014

University professors and public sector scientists are regarded as highly credible sources of information on biotechnology. Hence, their role in science communication, particularly on biotechnology is critical. A survey was conducted to investigate how Filipino academics and scientists involved in crop biotechnology view science communication and their role in public awareness and understanding.

Vantari Genetics

At Vantari Genetics, we challenge the idea that people have limited control over their health futures. With a focus on genetics, we believe we can abandon the cure driven approach and move to a proactive approach — from anticipating drug interactions to analyzing risks for inherited diseases and cancer. At our roots, we are a clinical laboratory specializing in genetics. Just like you, illness, disease and cancer hit close to home for us. We knew there had to be a solution and we were determined to find it – and share it.

Building the European biotech sector with world-class science and innovation

Infographic | August 5, 2021

Europe continues to be a powerhouse of science and innovation. The region maintains a clear lead over China, the United States, and the rest of the world in terms of the quality and quantity of its science. For example, Europe is home to 43 of the global top 100 life-science universities, while the United States has 34. Europe is a powerhouse in scientific publishing as well, with roughly twice the output of the United States and three times that of China.Europe also leads in terms of quality, as measured by the number of citations for its publications. More than 40,000 biotech patents have been granted in Europe since 2015, although the region’s 3 percent CAGR in patent approvals between 2015 and 2019 lagged behind that of the United States (4 percent) and was a fraction of China’s (14 percent).Despite Europe’s strength in science and innovation, translation remains the biggest challenge. Translation of science into companies is stagnant. The distribution of newly funded biotechs remains unchanged across geographies over the last six years, and Europe accounts for only 25 percent of new biotechs. Future success will depend on improving the translation of research into new companies, raising more capital, and building entrepreneurial talent.

Designing Genetic Circuit

Infographic | April 13, 2020

Near the turn of the millennium, James Collins and Stanislas Leibler independently undertook rather similar projects: design what would become synthetic biology’s seminal genetic circuits. And they came up with strikingly similar action plans—use E. coli to pair promoters with repressors that control one another’s behavior.
