What if the future of medicine could be personalized, predictive, and empowered by data? In this episode of BioTalk, Rich Bendis discusses this topic with Dr. Leroy Hood and Dr. Nathan Price, the co-authors of the book “The Age of Scientific Wellness: Why the Future of Medicine Is Personalized, Predictive, Data-Rich, and in Your Hands.” Together, they discuss the scientific revolution reshaping the healthcare and medicine landscape.

Dr. Hood and Dr. Price shed light on how cutting-edge technologies, such as genomics and artificial intelligence, are enabling the shift from reactive medicine to proactive, individualized care. They explore the concept of “scientific wellness,” where data-rich insights revolutionize disease prevention and unlock the potential for extended health span. Join us on BioTalk for this thought-provoking exploration of the new frontier of medicine, where health optimization is at the forefront.

TL/DR: For participation in the SBIR and STTR programs, agencies now have a standard set of questions to ask small business concerns about their foreign investments and affiliations. Companies can use the questions to prepare for their disclosures.

The Small Business Administration (SBA) is amending the Policy Directive of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs to harmonize participating agencies’ collection of information about applicants’ foreign investments and affiliations. Participating agencies have been required to collect such disclosures since passing of the SBIR and STTR Extension Act of 2022.

Register to attend a free NIH webinar. Attendees will learn about a new method for administering Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). This new method improves both the instrumentation used to deliver TMS treatment, and the treatment’s magnetic pulse pattern; which when applied to an awake rat treatment model, was shown to provide significant improvement over conventional TMS treatment methods.

Continuous manufacturing (CM) is an exciting frontier in drug manufacturing with the capacity to increase process efficiency while reducing costs. Manufacturers are now looking at ways to apply CM to make biologics. Biopharmaceutical continuous manufacturing (BCM) could increase product quality and productivity, enhance the process and product control, and increase flexibility, while also decreasing certain fixed costs associated with facility size and equipment maintenance, thereby reducing the environmental impact. There are barriers to the
widespread adoption of BCM, however

Maryland should see a boost in direct public funding toward manufacturing and lab space later this year as Gov. Wes Moore said he plans to sign a bill that will help build out the state’s science and technology industries through a new fund.

Maryland should see a boost in direct public funding toward manufacturing and lab space later this year as Gov. Wes Moore said he plans to sign a bill that will help build out the state’s science and technology industries through a new fund.

Prior to his keynote speech at the TechStars Equitech Demo Day this week, Moore said he planned to sign Senate Bill 549, or House Bill 552, “as soon as it’s on my desk,” which would authorize the creation of the “Build Our Future” grant program to fund infrastructure projects in a variety of technological fields.

Through this Challenge, NIA is seeking researchers and entrepreneurs with a demonstrated need who have innovative ideas for science-driven technologies and products with the potential to increase the diversity of NIA-funded small business research and development. Entrepreneurs from groups underrepresented in health-related sciences are strongly encouraged to apply.
