Digital transformation in pharma is not a singular endeavour. It can mean everything from patient-facing disease management apps and wearables to background AI dramatically altering drug discovery or radiological imaging. So, when a life sciences company embarks on a project of digital transformation or innovation, it’s really embarking on multiple projects that span the wide world of pharmaceutical operations.
Artificial intelligence (AI) continued to stay in the news with several high-profile deals this year, as the pharmaceutical industry readily took to adopting AI models to improve drug discovery. But as the field grows in leaps and bounds, many authorities have prioritised the release of new guidelines, frameworks, and regulations to keep pace with these advances.
The OK caps a long development journey for the treatment, which was previously turned back by the agency. Ferring doesn’t expect it to be available until the second half of next year, however.
The COVID-19 pandemic challenged researchers to discover life-saving treatments at an unprecedented pace. While these researchers rose to the occasion by discovering drugs faster than ever before, variants continue to challenge the world in addressing COVID-19. New innovations in computer-aided drug discovery tools could dramatically accelerate the study of new variants.
Speaker: Simran Kaur, Co-founder & CEO at Tattva Health Inc.
AI is transforming clinical trials—accelerating drug discovery, optimizing patient recruitment, and improving data analysis. But its impact goes far beyond research. As AI-driven innovation reshapes the clinical trial process, it’s also influencing broader healthcare trends, from personalized medicine to patient outcomes. Join this new webinar featuring Simran Kaur for an insightful discussion on what all of this means for the future of healthcare!
Athletes scaled new heights during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics with the addition of seven new sports, including karate and climbing. But while overall injuries remained comparable to previous games, some of the new sports contributed a disproportionately large portion of them.

Since the return of the Taliban, Afghanistan's coal exports have increased — and so has child labor. At a coal mine in Baghlan province, boys earn between $3 and $8 for a day's work.
Lots of people struggle to get enough sleep — and the responsibility for fixing the problem tends to fall on the individual. Experts offer advice like reducing screen time, exercising more, or just going to bed earlier in the evening. But many restless nights can’t be solved with blackout curtains, ear plugs, or other typical suggestions.

Moderna and the UK government have entered a ten-year strategic collaboration to build a messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) research, development and manufacturing facility in the country. The latest development comes after the parties announced an agreement in principle in June this year. This Moderna Innovation and Technology Centre (MITC) is expected to offer access to a locally produced future mRNA vaccine portfolio against respiratory viruses, subject to regulatory evaluation and licensure.

Reasons underlying hesitancy to get vaccinated against COVID-19 may be associated with increased risks of traffic accidents according to a new study in The American Journal of Medicine. Researchers found that adults who neglect these health recommendations may also neglect basic road safety. They recommend that greater awareness might encourage more COVID-19 vaccination.
Restricting our food intake can result in a range of health benefits, including reducing the risk of obesity. But when the dieting stops, the weight often piles back on, and a new study in mice may have identified why. [link] Scientists from the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and the Chinese Academy of Sciences think they […].

Hospice in America is gravely ill. An extensive investigation jointly published by The New Yorker and ProPublica documented outright fraud, predatory practices, and flagrant mistreatment by specific publicly traded and private equity-owned hospice companies.
Eli Lilly and Company has expanded a licencing and partnership agreement with ProQR Therapeutics to discover, develop and market new genetic medicines. The companies entered the initial agreement in September last year. This alliance is utilising the Axiomer ribonucleic acid (RNA) editing platform of ProQR to address ailments affecting the liver and nervous system.
In an interview with BioPharma Dive, the longtime industry executive discussed becoming a biotech investor and his plans for Abio-X, a new incubator with $150 million to spend on startups.
A collaboration between academic centres in the UK has won government funding for a digital approach to dysfunctional breathing or dyspnoea, a symptom that affects around 10% of the population. The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) has set aside £400,000 (almost $490,000) for the project, which will help fund work at the Universities of Plymouth, Salford and Stirling, and the Glasgow School of Art.
Severe COVID-19 looks scarily like old age in the human brain, according to a postmortem analysis of 54 healthy and infected individuals. The authors of the study say their research is the first to link COVID-19 to molecular signatures of brain aging. “We observed that gene expression in the brain tissue of patients who died […].
Almost 90% of the health care companies deemed to be under financial stress by a leading credit rating agency are owned by private equity , a stark indicator of the toll financial investors have taken on a vital sector. The striking finding is part of a new Moody’s Investors Service report released this week that shows broad turbulence throughout an industry weakened by private equity’s practice of loading companies with debt, making them less resilient to challenges like Covid-19,
The healthcare industry saw its share of ups and downs in 2022. Our response to the worldwide pandemic evolved over time, and so did the needs of the sector and the people relying on healthcare companies to deliver solutions. Along the way, mergers and acquisitions continued to happen, new drugs and devices got approved, and innovations in the clinical trial industry were introduced.

What will the future hold for clinical research? A recent draft from the FDA provides valuable insight. In "Optimizing the Dosage of Human Prescription Drugs and Biological Products for the Treatment of Oncologic Diseases," the FDA notes that "targeted therapies demonstrate different dose-response relationships compared to cytotoxic chemotherapy, such that doses below the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) may have similar efficacy to the MTD but with fewer toxicities.
Using machine learning and clinical data from electronic health records, researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York constructed an in silico, or computer-derived, marker for coronary artery disease (CAD) to better measure clinically important characterizations of the disease.
Research suggests there could be a “simple, safe, and economical” way to relieve pain: green light. And a new animal study reveals the biological underpinnings of how it might work. Scientists have been exploring the pain-relieving effects of green light for at least half a decade, uncovering an occasional clue on exactly how it happens. […].
People are gathering indoors for the holidays, and there's been an uptick in COVID-19 cases. The federal government says you should test often to try to prevent the spread of the virus.
There’s been significant investment in companies creating artificial intelligence (AI) applications for health and health care over the last decade. But while there have been successes, notably in the area of medical imaging, the industry is known more for not yet living up to its potential — think IBM Watson. The slow pace of AI adoption in health care stems from the fact that health AI sits on the border between two large industries, health care and tech.
A research study conducted by The Journal of Commerce and FourKites surveyed hundreds of international shippers, exploring how their usage of global supply chain visibility technology has evolved since the onset of global disruptions caused by COVID-19. For international shippers, ocean freight visibility has evolved from optional to essential and satisfaction with visibility varies greatly depending on how it is obtained and delivered.
