So it doesn’t work in researchers’ favor that preparing a protein sample for research is quite a process. Perfinity Biosciences came to life two-and-a-half years ago with an idea from Purdue University professor Fred […]
As innovative new cancer therapies become more advanced and targeted, the tools used in researching and developing them should be improved and innovated too. Indiana-based Tymora Analytical Operations LLC is doing that by developing nanotechnology-based research products for life sciences R&D. The PolyMAC technology that it commercialized earlier this year could help researchers better assess […]
The key to a more convenient, less uncomfortable way to deliver injectable drugs could lie in ingredients found not in a high-tech lab but in most people’s kitchens. Purdue University researchers used a simple solution of sugar, yeast, water and body heat to create a tiny pump they think could someday power a drug delivery […]
