Tune in to our live webinar to hear BIOVIA’s Julian Willmott discuss strategies for increasing lab, researcher, and experiment efficiency, technology available to drive these efficiencies, and how chemical development labs today are achieving the next level of successful innovation.

A recently-released report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s advisory committee on safety underlined a flawed understanding of safety and poor leadership as key reasons for safety lapses at CDC laboratories.

A new simple tool developed by nanoengineers at the University of California, San Diego, is opening the door to an era when anyone will be able to build sensors, anywhere, including physicians in the clinic, patients in their home and soldiers in the field. The team from the University of California, San Diego, developed high-tech bio-inks that react with several chemicals, including glucose. They filled off-the-shelf ballpoint pens with the inks and were able to draw sensors to measure glucose directly on the skin and sensors to measure pollution on leaves.

This month, we highlight companies that will be exhibiting at two upcoming tradeshows, Experimental Biology 2015 (EB 2015) and the American Association for Cancer Research’s 2015 annual meeting and Exhibit (AACR 2015). EB 2015 will take over the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center in Boston, MA from March 28-April 1. AACR 2015 will be held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, PA, from April 18-22, 2015, with exhibit dates April 19-22. Remember that these specific technologies may not be at the show, but their manufacturers will be on hand to answer any questions you may have.

Great leaders can be made. Tom Crea uses his armed forces experience to show how YOU can become a more effective and impactful leader in your lab with the right tools and motivation.

This presentation will focus on our approach to recruiting, onboarding, and training new staff. We will discuss our method of developing the job description, seeking candidates, and evaluating candidates. 

As a cheap and easy source of protein for humans, it might be hard to beat the mighty mealworm.

This seminar will review light scattering technology and instrumentation, then present select examples illustrating how complete light scattering solutions facilitate rapid and effective development of biologics including mAbs, ADCs, PEGylated, and other proteins as well as viruses, VLPs, and nanoparticle drug-delivery vehicles.

University of Virginia psychology professor examines the taste system.

When the source of the conflict is a manager who is very good at what they do yet employees have negative perceptions about their management style, it affects the lab morale, absenteeism, and staff turnover. Join this webinar to learn how to deal with abrasive leaders in your lab.

Recently released probe aims to change how pH is measured

Likely the most successful company to result from university research innovation was Google. But, when such a startup comes out of a university, which party owns the intellectual property (IP) rights?

As thesis writing approached, University of Wisconsin-Madison graduate student Veronica Berns faced a conundrum. She knew how hard it was to describe her work to friends and family — indeed, anybody outside the tight clan of structural chemists. And that was particularly true since she concentrated on a category of should-be-impossible structures called “quasicrystals.”

Good news for laboratory supervisors–their position has made CNN Money’s top 10 list of quickest-growing jobs in America, released Jan. 27.
