The growing field of spatial biology is “revolutionizing our understanding of how cells interact with their natural environments,” and could help predict patient response to therapies, according to Thermo Fisher's Trisha Dowling. By visualizing and mapping the location of cells and proteins and their interactions within tissues, spatial biology “offers a more accurate and holistic view of biological processes.” With this insight, Dowling notes the field “holds the promise of transforming research and clinical practice, ultimately leading to a new era of precision medicine.” Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gtMKgtUY

A passion for scientific research bonds former elementary school classmates and Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge finalists Sophia Yuxin Zhang and Dalia Habib. The competition helped "me to meet the most talented young innovators, scientists and engineers in the country," Sophia shared on the "How'd You Think of That?" podcast. Dalia adds that being a part of the competition helped her realize '"Whoa, people my age are solving such great problems...it made me really want to continue pursuing my passion in STEM." To learn more about Sophia's and Dalia's winning research, their motivation to make the world a better place and the importance of STEM education, listen to the podcast: https://lnkd.in/gUZAj_dR

The largest drug seizure in Georgia's history recently removed enough fentanyl from the streets to potentially kill 2.5 million people, according to authorities. Thermo Fisher's TruNarc technology, a user-friendly handheld device that quickly identifies illegal drugs in the field, played a critical role in the presumptive testing of the substance. Fentanyl is up to 50 times stronger than heroin and is the leading cause of overdose deaths in the United States. Even amounts smaller than a few grains of salt can be fatal and it’s often added to other drugs, making them more dangerous. Learn more about this historic fentanyl seizure and how TruNarc supports authorities in safeguarding communities: https://lnkd.in/gTEJeGCs

Today, we introduce the Krios 5 Cryo-Transmission Electron Microscope, which provides atomic-level insights to help scientists study how cells, proteins and viruses work. Its enhanced optics and new AI-enabled automation aim to improve productivity and performance in the lab and accelerate the pace of scientific discovery and drug development that will promote health and fight disease.

Did you know that cells can be transformed to fight diseases like diabetes and cancer? Scientists engineer cells to create cell therapies that attack specific pathogens not caught by the body’s immune system. Thermo Fisher works with our customers throughout the cell therapy development process, from providing initial research materials and equipment through supporting manufacturing and running clinical trials. We recently sat down with Evan Zynda, a senior staff scientist who specializes in the manufacturing of these therapies, to break down the science and uncover what the future may hold.

Patients with the same conditions, like Alzheimer's or cancer, may respond differently to the same treatment. To understand the biological factors behind these variations, researchers are exploring translational omics, which integrates genomic and proteomic data to provide deeper insights into diseases and their progression, says Thermo Fisher's Thomas Moehring. This combined approach "alongside advancements in mass spectrometry, automation and AI, is revolutionizing personalized medicine," Moehring adds. Learn more from Moehring about how, by accelerating biomarker discovery and validation, "these innovations enable earlier diagnosis, more precise treatments and improved patient outcomes": https://lnkd.in/gAmH_YfZ Technology Networks
