As someone who has watched the ASGCT conference grow fairly steadily over the last 11 years, the growth in meeting attendance and vendor presence between 2018 and 2019 is nothing short of stunning. It was not uncommon in the past few years to need to stand during sessions to hear presentations, but never before has there […]
Novel bioanalytical approaches to drug development – 5-AZA a case study to be presented at the 67th ASMS Conference in Atlanta Within drug development, the quantitation of drug levels within the systemic circulation and target tissues can provide insight into tolerance and / or efficacy. For small molecules the mainstay for quantitative analysis is LC-MS/MS. […]
May is Cystic Fibrosis (CF) month. Lovelace has been working in respiratory research for over 70 years, and has been using gene therapy studies to develop drugs to treat CF and other similar diseases for over 10 years. As a part of CF month, Lovelace’s expert scientists, Ted Barrett and Philip Kuehl are here to […]
Biochemistry or biological chemistry is a branch of biology and chemistry involving intense study of different chemical processes taking place inside living organisms. These biochemical processes are notably the fundamental reasons for complexity of life. Biochemistry is classified into molecular genetics, metabolism and protein science. It figures out the way in which bio molecules give […]
Bioinformatics involves in-depth understanding of biological data through strategic development of appropriate software tools. This is an interdisciplinary field including computer science, biology, mathematics, statistics, and information engineering all of which are essential to comprehend with abstract biological information. Bioinformatics has many different applications such as silico analysis for biological queries, candidate gene identification, SNP […]
Cell biology is the intense study of structure, composition, physiology and functioning of cells which is the most fundamental unit of any living organism. This understanding of cellular components and their functioning forms the basic for all biological sciences. Cell Biology deeply understands and analyzes the physiological processes, lifecycle, chemical properties, metabolism, and interactions between […]
Drug Design or Rational Drug Design is the process of discovering medications. The process of drug design is carried out only upon obtaining thorough understanding of the biological target. The drug thus developed is a molecule aimed at having therapeutic effects on the patient it is injected on. This drug performs either by activating or […]
Molecular Biology is a branch of biology that understands and analysis the molecular structure, composition and functioning of cellular molecules. It deals with different disciplines including biology, chemistry, genetics and biochemistry. In other words, molecular biology strives to understand how genes get transcribed to RNA which in turn gets transcribed as proteins. In this process, […]
Pharmaceutics is one of the divisions of pharmacy. It involves dealing with New Chemical Entities or drugs that are safely transformed and used on patients as medication. There are numerous chemicals having pharmacological properties, but cannot be directly used on patients. By performing special procedures, these chemicals can easily be transformed into medicines of therapeutic […]
Scientific research is the sequential process of data collection, interpretation, analysis and reporting done in order to make contributions to scientific developments. It basically involves data assimilation from a group of volunteers to figure out the reasons of diseases, its developmental phases and effects so that it aids in developing newer diagnostic methods and treatments […]
