Speed Time to Results by Incorporating Flow Cytometry into the CRISPR‑Cas9 Gene Editing Workflow

The power to edit a gene is the power to change its function, and with it the biology of a cell. From generating novel cell lines and better animal models for the discovery and preclinical phases of therapeutic research to actually creating a therapeutic itself, CRISPR gene editing is allowing science to advance rapidly. See how enrichment and cell sorting can help generate edited cells faster and more reliably.

Understanding Biomarkers for Better Drug Discovery and Development

Biomarker intelligence comes from understanding the biomarker landscape, that is, the characteristics and features of biomarkers, and disease pathways. This understanding, in turn, helps to recognize the utility of biomarkers. In this study, we partnered with Amplion Inc., to investigate biomarker usage in 24 immunotherapy companies. We found the most popular biomarkers and learnt how they are being used by each company.
