The DMTA cycle depends on clear data flow, yet most labs still work across disconnected systems. Sean McGee, Director of Product at Certara, explains how better infrastructure and AI can help teams work faster and make decisions with more confidence.
Vanitha Margan, Global Product Manager for Bio-Plex Multiplex Immunoassays at Bio-Rad Laboratories, reveals how multiplexing is being used to realise the full potential of extracellular vesicles in disease monitoring.
Frontier Bio’s vascular bioengineering research connects tissue modelling with graft development to advance regenerative medicine and drug discovery.
Demands on central laboratories are consistently increasing, heightening the challenge to deliver operational excellence and the highest standard of scientific integrity with both speed and agility. ICON Laboratories is transforming the way we leverage data and intelligent operational models to meet evolving trial needs.
Bigger isn’t always better. In drug discovery, Dr Michael Ritchie argues that the future belongs not to those with the most data, but to those who understand its biological depth.
AI is transforming biomarker analysis in early drug discovery, revealing hidden biological patterns that improve target discovery, patient selection and trial design for more precise and predictive R&D.
From richer biomarker content to patient-friendly sampling, first-void urine is emerging as a promising tool in precision health. Here is why scientists are paying attention.
Current obesity drug development remains overly focused on short-term weight reduction, despite obesity being a chronic, multifactorial disease. Broader, mechanism-driven approaches are needed to ensure durable efficacy, safety and accessibility.
A Japanese research team has simulated how RNA molecules fold, using cutting-edge computational tools to model complex structures with accuracy – a breakthrough that could accelerate the development of RNA-based medicines and therapies.
At ELRIG’s Drug Discovery 2025, Drug Target Review spoke with the teams turning big ideas into usable tools – automation, AI and biology – that help scientists work smarter.
A promising MET inhibitor failed in the clinic due to human-specific metabolism. Now its deuterated analogue, DO-2, is showing that a simple isotope swap might overcome the problem.
Nature’s pharmacy has yielded half of today’s medicines, yet most of its potential remains untapped. AI is now changing how quickly new therapies can be found.
Researchers have identified a key cellular mechanism that drives pulmonary fibrosis and successfully blocked it in mice, reducing lung scarring.
Researchers have discovered an enzyme, PapB, that can ‘tie off’ therapeutic peptides into stable rings, which could help improve GLP-1 drugs for diabetes and obesity – making them more effective and longer lasting.
