SUMMARY:Enhancing Bioavailability and Manufacturability with Enabling Formulation Technologies for Oral Small Molecule Drug Product Development
DESCRIPTION:From Lead Optimization and Candidate Nomination Through Clinical Development \nIt is well known that a majority of small molecule late discovery and development pipelines are populated by compounds that are poorly soluble\, and/or permeable. This has resulted in increasing use of established and emerging technologies to address these limitations. There are multiple ways that enabling technologies are impactful on the overall drug development effort\, among them: \n\nRendering poorly soluble molecules into tractable entities\, with respect to: Solubility\, Supersaturation on dissolution\, Absorption and PK profile\nEnhancing the ability to efficiently modify and optimize the performance of drug products in response to pre-preclinical\, preclinical and early clinical in vivo data\nHelping to ensure that the dosage form(s) used in clinical development are appropriate to the target\, with respect to pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles\n\nThe workshop will describe and discuss approaches\, with case studies\, that address the iterative\, interdependent\, multidisciplinary nature of effective drug product development\, with focus on small molecules that require enabling technologies. \nREGISTER» \nHosted by:

SUMMARY:Cracking the code: learnings from oligonucleotide method development
DESCRIPTION:Turn complexity into clarity. Learn how method development unlocks accurate\, robust LC–MS/MS bioanalysis for oligonucleotide therapeutics. \nOligonucleotide therapies are rapidly moving from promise to reality\, but analyzing them isn’t straightforward. Their unique structures\, modifications and behavior in biological matrices create hurdles at every stage of the workflow\, from sample prep to quantitation. LC–MS/MS provides a powerful path forward\, but only with carefully optimized methods that ensure sensitivity\, accuracy and robustness. In this webinar\, experts share key lessons from real-world method development\, highlighting common pitfalls\, practical strategies and purpose-built tools that can help you generate dependable data with confidence. \nREGISTER» \nHosted by:

Come hear pitches from leading Japanese and US corporations about what they offer as potential partners. This “Reverse Pitch” event flips the script on the usual pitch event – strategic partners will be pitching their priorities and capabilities in order to tell startup companies why they should be working with them. \nThis is the 5th year that US-Japan Healthcare Connection will be organizing a Reverse Pitch event. Presenting companies are still being finalized\, but past Reverse Pitch programs have featured companies like Asahi Intecc\, Fujikura\, Mitsubishi Corporation\, Nipro\, Nissan Chemicals\, Recor Medical\, Sysmex\, and Teijin Pharma. \nThis year’s companies are particularly interested in meeting leading medtech\, diagnostic and life science startups. This year we are proud to be partnering with Biocom USA to bring together a great group of startups and strategic partners. The pitches will be followed by a short reception and opportunity for the attendees and pitching companies to meet with each other and arrange follow up meetings. \nIf you are interested in attending\, please complete the questionnaire in the registration form. \nREGISTER» \nHosted by:

SUMMARY:Rapid epigenomic classification of acute leukemia
DESCRIPTION:Unlock the potential for faster\, more comprehensive leukemia characterization with this webinar from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute expert Salvatore Benfatto. \nAcute leukemia (AL) is an aggressive form of blood cancer that requires precise molecular classification and urgent treatment. However\, standard-of-care diagnostic tests are time- and resource-intensive and do not capture the full spectrum of AL heterogeneity\, making diagnosis and basic research investigations into AL a challenge. Researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (MA\, USA) have developed MARLIN (methylation and AI-guided rapid leukemia subtype inference)\, a machine learning tool currently for research use only that enables the rapid classification of acute leukemia using real-time DNA methylation data generated by Oxford Nanopore sequencing. In both retrospective and prospective studies\, Oxford Nanopore sequencing enabled MARLIN to deliver accurate molecular subtyping within two hours. This approach highlights the potential of nanopore technology to support faster\, more comprehensive leukemia characterization. \nREGISTER» \nHosted by:
