🔬 Exciting Collaboration in Genomic Analysis! 🔬 MGI Tech and SeqOne have partnered to develop and validate end-to-end genomic analysis workflows for human genetics and pathology labs! 🎉🧬 In collaboration with Agilent Technologies and a pathology reference lab in Spain, this partnership will create an automated, sample-to-report assay for homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) testing. This innovative solution will leverage MGI's DNBSeq-G99 platform, Agilent's library prep reagents and automation systems, and SeqOne's SomaHRD analysis solution. 🌟🔬 Additionally, MGI's MegaBolt bioinformatics analysis software will be made compatible with SeqOne's AI-powered variant identification and analysis pipeline. The companies also plan to validate SeqOne's CE-IVD platform for germline and somatic analysis using MGI's sequencers for routine diagnostics. 💡📊 "Integrating SeqOne's CE-IVD Platform with MGI's offerings will enhance the quality, sensitivity, and precision of bioinformatic analyses," said SeqOne CEO Martin Dubuc. Looking forward to the advancements this collaboration will bring to genomic research and diagnostics! 🌐 #Genomics #Bioinformatics #HealthcareInnovation #MGITech #SeqOne #AgilentTechnologies #HRDTesting #NextGenSequencing #MedicalAdvancements #Diagnostics #Pathology #AIinHealthcare #CollaborationInScience

What about the gender Diversity in the CDMO? The CDMO industry has traditionally been male-dominated, especially in technical roles such as manufacturing and engineering. While there are ongoing efforts to improve gender diversity, progress has been slow. Many CDMOs are now recognizing the importance of diverse teams for innovation and problem-solving, leading to initiatives aimed at attracting more women into these roles. However, the representation of women in leadership positions remains disproportionately low compared to their male counterparts. A study conducted by the Executive Firm WittKieffer indicates that women hold only a small fraction of leadership positions in CDMOs. For instance: ❌There are no female chief executives among the sampled companies ❌And only 13% of commercial leaders are women. ✅However, the situation improves slightly in other categories; among innovation-enabling leaders ➡️Among those overseeing R&D, manufacturing, and corporate development 44% are women. ➡️Similarly, enterprise services leaders also see a representation of 44% female executives. ✅Rising Female Representation in CROs: Conversely, the CRO industry is witnessing a notable shift towards gender diversity, particularly in research and development (R&D) roles. Recent studies indicate that women are increasingly outnumbering men in various R&D positions within CROs. This trend can be attributed to several factors, including targeted recruitment strategies, mentorship programs, and a growing recognition of the value that diverse perspectives bring to scientific research. 👉Conclusion: The Path Forward To foster greater gender diversity across both industries, it is essential for CDMOs to adopt best practices from CROs. By prioritizing inclusive hiring practices and creating supportive environments for women in science and engineering roles, CDMOs can enhance their competitiveness and drive innovation. #CDMO #CRO #Genderdiversity #ExecutiveSearch #PharmaceuticalIndustry #Recruitment #Leadershipdiversity

Mabtech provided a great webinar on using #FluoroSpot in #CGT. I'm curious, it's not a short video, are you interested enough to watch it all (even if at 2X speed)?
