Virtual Reality Software: Explore biology at nanoscale

From “Fantastic Voyage” (1966) to “A Wind in the Door” (1973), fiction has adored the idea of exploring the body at cellular and molecular levels. Now, virtual reality (VR) software, combined with the computational power afforded by blockchain technology, makes such journeys possible.

For your next computer-aided drug discovery/development (CADD) project, especially if you are collaborating with researchers across multiple sites, try molecular visualization using VR technology — now available from Nanome through Science Exchange.

Cancer Genetics: Connect patients to discoveries

It’s a great day for precision medicine, with the unveiling of the first global directory of patient-derived xenografts (PDX).

Despite the attention given to precision medicine, however, less than 5% of cancer patients are participating in clinical trials. In the discovery phases of R&D, obtaining biospecimens of specific genotypes is also a continuing challenge.

Oncologists on Science Exchange can now accelerate their research with Cancer Genetics, Inc., a global CRO with a history of thought leadership in precision medicine.

Stem Cell-based 3D Organoids: Predict Preclinical Efficacy and Toxicity

Organoids, particularly brain organoids, have enabled breakthrough research in Alzheimer’s disease, glioblastoma, and even ZIKA virus-induced microcephaly. By using pluripotent stem cells as a source of the multiple cell types present in an organoid, preclinical researchers can recapitulate in vivo-like tissue architecture and cellular heterogeneity.

Many of these discoveries were made by the founders of 3Dnamics, a new service provider on the Science Exchange network. The 3Dnamics team was built by stem cell pioneers and neuroscientists at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. If you are in the process of developing a model system for your preclinical or discovery-phase research, take advantage of 3Dnamics’ expertise.
