🚨 HUGE MS breakthrough! Roche's oral BTK inhibitor fenebrutinib nails Phase III:

✅ RMS: 1st BTKi to beat teriflunomide on relapses (96+ wks)
✅ PPMS: Slows disability ≥ ocrelizumab (120+ wks)
✅ Clean safety, brain-penetrant

𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵: @novartis.bsky.social GanLum clears malaria in 97% of patients! First new treatment in 20+ years.

It's effective vs resistant strains, blocks transmission.

Huge for 600K+ annual deaths. 👏

Lab automation is essential for biology to progress.

Stop doing things manually and save up to get a robot.

Plus it’s cool to get one of these bad boys in your lab!

💊 Pfizer just announced a ~$10B deal to acquire Metsera, adding an obesity drug to its pipeline after setbacks in its own GLP-1 program. The pharma race for next-gen weight-loss drugs is heating up. #biotech #pharma #obesity #GLP1

Better. Faster. Cheaper.

Assay development teams can achieve this with DoE and lab automation.

More robust assays.
Less reagents used.
Faster iterations.
Automated.

Come find us at ELRIG on Booth 14 and I’ll show you how!

The wet lab isn’t going anywhere, it’s evolving!
AI/ML is here to stay in life sciences, but biology still sets the rules.

AI-driven target prediction, protein design, and in-silico screening are exciting, but they all need one thing that can’t be simulated: real biological data.

I used to design experiments in Excel

🧪 Messy
📊 Manual
🤯 Error-prone

Even automation meant coding plate maps line by line

Biology is complex—experiment design doesn’t have to be.

✅ Auto calc
✅ 1-click scripts
✅ Seamless data

Simplify with Synthace

💊 I think drugs that fail in the clinic also failed in discovery.

We never had a good assay to detect it.

Due to OFAT.

🐢 Slow. Blind. Wasteful.

The scientists did not optimise; they were gambling.

DoE fixes this.

Stop playing roulette with lives.

The Dragonfly Discovery from @sptlabtech.bsky.social an automated liquid dispenser that can be used to run powerful multifactorial experiments.

This is how you generate high-throughput insights.

The future of drug discovery is faster, smarter, smaller. 🧬🤖 #biotech #labautomation #drugdiscovery
