Thermo Fisher Scientific (TMO) a healthcare juggernaut you cannot ignore

Thermo Fisher Scientific (NYSE: TMO) is a healthcare sector juggernaut that produces and supplies scientific instruments, reagents, consumables and offers contract services through its CDM and CRO businesses. With a galaxy of critical services and products, Thermo Fisher is a force to be reckoned with in healthcare. Two key competitive

Head-to-head in the space of proteomics: Quantum Si (NASDAQ: QSI) vs Nautilus Biotechnology (NASDAQ: NAUT)

Head-to-head in the space of proteomics: Quantum Si (NASDAQ: QSI) vs Nautilus Biotechnology (NASDAQ: NAUT)

What is proteomics? During the expression of a protein-coding gene, information flows from DNA → RNA →protein. This directional flow of information is known as the central dogma of molecular biology. (Learn more about DNA and RNA in our previous articles.) Proteomics, in simple terms, is the study of proteins. This

Synthetic Biology is poised to breath new life into fermentation

Fermentation has been around since the Neolithic age, long before people understood the science behind the process. Today, following the scientific discoveries of French microbiologist Louis Pasteur, who showed how living organisms initiate fermentation, we know why fermentation not only makes food like sourdough bread, kimchi and wine taste better

The rise of plant-based meat

The rise of plant-based meat

Meat consumption in the United States has increased a staggering 184% between 1961 and 2018! On an absolute basis, it is reported that the annual meat production increased by over 30 million tons during this time period. The conflict in Ukraine has caused supply constraints in the corn (used as

A deep dive into the microbiome market landscape

A deep dive into the microbiome market landscape

Following on from our previous article, where we covered - what is the microbiome, how it is profiled, challenges and solutions faced and the different sub-segments of the microbiome - Gut Microbiome, Oral Microbiome, Skin Microbiome and Soil Microbiome. In this article we will do a deep dive into the

Your complete guide to the microbiome: What is it, how is it profiled, what factors affect it and current challenges & potential solutions

Your complete guide to the microbiome: What is it, how is it profiled, what factors affect it and current challenges & potential solutions

What is the Microbiome? A microbiome is a community of microbial organisms living in a given environment. For example, the microbiome in the gut (Gut Microbiome), consists of a community of microbes that play important roles in multiple biological processes such as digestion, immunity, mental health, and other aspects of

What we were reading this week: How synthetic biology and biosensors can be exploited for water contaminant monitoring

The rapidly growing field of synthetic biology has the potential to transform many aspects of society. This review paper looked at different synthetic biology strategies that can be exploited for water monitoring, specifically focusing on the use of biosensors for detection of contaminants in the water. > As mentioned in
