Discovering Biotech Innovation with the Discovery Park
While I went through my PhD studies, I assumed that universities were the only places scientific innovation occurred. That paradigm stayed with me until I encountered the early-stage biotech startups. While I searched for post-PhD career opportunities, I learned about the biotech research park. These facilities provide the means to generate, attract, and retain biotech…
Hazel Jones: The Power of 3D Genomics in Medicine
The human genome encodes human life as we know it. Its DNA sequences encode almost 20000 proteins that affect what we look like, how we behave, and how well our bodies operate. Yet in the process of characterizing the human genome, scientists have also uncovered a plethora of other elements. Although these regions in the…
Sidhyansh Saxena: Accelerate drug development with Ginkgo Bioworks
Biofoundries: opportunities to expand drug development Research must move at a faster pace. Despite the advances made in the biotech industry, millions of people still pass away from disease today. But it’s not for lack of trying. In fact, we have more drug candidates going through clinical trials than ever. Even so, 90% of those…

The succession of life science sales: an interview with Harrison Waid
Getting into sales in the biotech industry Sales isn’t an easy career. That fact is true irrespective of which industry you work in. But generating leads and sales is especially difficult in the life science sector. Scientists are naturally more skeptical than the average person. Marketing efforts cannot overstate scientific and medical claims. And the…
Harness AI in Digital Pathology – an Interview with Emina Atlagic
Introducing AI in Bioinformatics Artificial intelligence (AI) is now a fixture in the public consciousness. Much has been made of AI’s potential to transform how we commute, refine how we search online, and automate our production lines. Amid talks of their potential to aid other sectors, the biotech community has worked hard to enhance patient…
Industry as a Game: an interview with David Giltner
Navigating the Private Sector as Your Best Self If you’re a graduate student, you’ve probably felt the following. You initially wanted to be a professor like your supervisor. To get there, you’ll need a postdoctoral fellowship to conduct new research. The road ahead excites you. You love learning new things, solving problems, and getting credit…
Bring in vitro Diagnostics to the UK – LBS Interview with Helen Dent
Introducing in vitro Diagnostics and BIVDA In vitro diagnostics (IVD) is a staple in biomedical care today. Many of the over-the-counter tests we use to monitor blood sugar levels and other health metrics are IVDs. Yet IVDs have potential that exceeds diagnosing a disease one already has. From predicting drug responses to identifying patients with greater…
Introducing EpiWrite, a new GenoWrite blog series
GenoWrite has its beginnings in writing from the realm of microbiology. At Microbe Musings, we conduct regular interviews and create articles that highlight the latest advances in microbiology. But after working with several biotech companies worldwide (see our list of services here), we have recognized the proliferation of ground-breaking research beyond microbiology and infectious disease.…
