Recursion’s commitment to the rare disease community runs deep. 🫶🏼 In fact, Recursion was founded to reimagine the drug discovery and development process with an early focus on rare diseases.  🎥 Take a look at the special event we held at our HQ, where several members of the community gathered to raise awareness for rare and undiagnosed diseases and the lifelong impact they have on patients and their families – while highlighting progress in diagnosis and treatment discovery.  🦓 #showyourstripes #RareDiseaseDay #techbio #raredisease #biotech #drugdiscovery Alliance to Cure Cavernous Malformation, BioHive Utah, Rare and Undiagnosed Network (RUN), RARE-X, ARUP Laboratories, BioUtah, University of Utah, Utah Rare Disease Advisory Council (RDAC) https://lnkd.in/grSGZKGy

🌟 Highlight from the 50th LNMB Conference 🌟 On day three of the LNMB conference, we spotlight Merck Animal Health’s transformative work in biomanufacturing, underscoring the power of operations research. This leading team faced the intricate challenges inherent in biomanufacturing—such as production variability, costly equipment, and limited flexibility—by integrating advanced analytics and optimization. In partnership with Eindhoven University of Technology, the Merck team spent four years developing innovative models that revolutionized their operations. The result? Decision support applications that generated $200 million in additional revenue without increasing resource use, a testament to how analytics can drive efficiency and growth. Merck’s achievement highlights the profound impact of operations research across industries. Join us in celebrating at the 2025 LNMB conference to hear more about their work from Tugce Martagan, Coen Dirckx, and Bram van Ravenstein. #LNMB #OperationsResearch

As I reflect on the success of our 2024 Clean-up day initiative, some recurring thoughts are coming to my mind: 1)  The responsibility to contribute   Positive examples are crucial to inspire people towards a noble goal and, as a public entity, it is a must to role-model initiatives aimed at building a more sustainable world, 2) Contributing while bonding as a team Beyond the intrinsic social value, getting together as team for a noble cause creates stronger team bonding, a crucial element to enjoy our daily work and withstand challenges that the business environment can sometimes create, 3.  The importance to visualize your objective As we are fortunate to live in one of the cleanest countries in the world, we were not really sure whether we would have had anything to clean up 😀. However, once we actively looked for it, we found a lot of misplaced trash! (including shoes and other curious items). Jokes aside, for me this represents a simple lesson: if you do not know what you are looking for, you are never going to find it. Being clear on our objectives is crucial to achieve them. If not, good ideas and great opportunities can slip away just because we were not aware these were the right one for us. In conclusion, I would like to thank all the participants for their commitment, hard work in a very hot day and above all, to make the atmosphere light and fun! From my side, I am proud of having contributed, and I am even prouder of being part of Daiichi Sankyo (Switzerland) 💪 👍 #proudtobeDSCH

Yesterday, I had the chance to present at our first monthly #ALLPreT webinar since the summer break. I felt a bit nervous, especially since our last meeting was the annual one, where everyone shared exciting results and plans for the year ahead. Instead of presenting shiny new results, I mostly discussed qPCR troubleshooting—definitely not the flashiest topic. But it turned out to be really productive! I got some great questions and helpful suggestions to improve my setup. This experience was a good reminder that sharing challenges is just as important as showing successes. Science is full of trial and error (and sometimes it feels like mostly error), but everyone understands this and is always ready to help. #ScienceCommunity #Collaboration #ResearchJourney #TrialAndError #TeamScience #MSCA #HorizonEurope #H2021 #Foodallergy

Last week, Holger Senn presented at the PTC European Life Science Exchange event, discussing "AI in Variant and Configuration Lifecycle Management (CLM) of Medical Devices," with a focus on mastering complexity related to regulations and compliance. Holger presented the benefits medical device manufacturers can achieve using a CLM approach, including: - Standardizing processes - Capturing knowledge - One consistent data model Learn more about the benefits of a CLM approach by visiting https://lnkd.in/e8kzsktY #medicaldevice #manufacturing #complexitymanagement  

One day to go on our CrowdCube fundraise, now at just over £212,000 ... here is a short reminder of why #PeezyMidstream was invented by Dr Vincent Forte who was ahead of his time on accurate diagnoses, patient safety and infection control, with ongoing impact to prevention of AMR and Sepsis. Our focus on urine sample specifity has taken us into the world of early stage cancer detection, STI screening, sports dope testing and evidential forensic medicine - all areas where urine sample quality has been overlooked - until now, as @Forte Medical rolls up its sleeves and approaches these sectors with trademark ingenuity and determination. If you are in two minds about investing, ask any woman in your life who has suffered from UTI and/or prenatal urine screening about her experiences. You'll have your answer right there.

Transitioning from laboratory models to real-world applications presents a vast and complex challenge. The insights gleaned from animal studies are invaluable, yet they represent only the initial steps toward human treatment. This underscores the paramount importance of rigorous clinical trials, ensuring that promising treatments are safe, effective, and tailored to human needs. Each step is critical in bridging the gap between scientific discovery and life-saving therapies. #ClinicalTrials #TranslationalResearch #PatientSafety

Did you know that The human body is- An extraordinarily complex organism comprised of: 37,000,000,000,000 individual cells 200 cell types 4 tissue types 78 different organs 11 body systems All added up to make one living Organism! Talk about Amazing, and Endocannabinoids serve as modulatory signals throughout the body and brain, influencing functions like pain, inflammation, mood, and immune response. The endocannabinoid system is not a body system it is a cellular communication system and this homeostatic regulatory system is present in all vertebrates on earth. The ECS is highly dynamic exceedingly complex Master Regulatory System and is everywhere In the human body! In almost every cell type! These are few things I learned with Codi Peterson's session at MJ Unpacked. 🤩 Thanks again Codi. As we embark on this journey of discovering the incredible benefits of cannabis, it fills us with immense joy to see so many individuals at this conference who share our passion for research and love for the subject.

Really inspired by the latest post from one of our PhD students, Birte Hell reminded us that science isn't always about showcasing polished results - sometimes it's about facing the challenges head-on. Presenting on *qPCR troubleshooting* might not sound glamorous, but it's exactly these moments of grappling with setbacks that often lead to real breakthroughs. To all our PhD students: remember, research isn't just about the final outcome; it's about the process - the persistence, the problem-solving, and the learning along the way. Sharing challenges isn't a sign of weakness, but a strength that drives collaboration and innovation. So, if your experiments aren't delivering the perfect data, or you feel stuck in the "trial and error" phase, keep pushing forward. Every hurdle you overcome is a step closer to success, and every problem solved is another building block in your journey. Your perseverance is what fuels progress. Let's embrace the setbacks as part of the story we're writing together. Science is about collaboration, curiosity, and constant learning. Keep going, team - the breakthroughs will come! 🌱💡 #PhDLife #ResilienceInResearch #GrowthThroughChallenges #ALLPreT #TeamScience #Collaboration #HorizonEurope #InnovationInProgress #MSCA #H2021 #Foodallergy
