Applied Microbiology International teams up with SelectScience

2024-09-16
(Press-News.org) The CLINICAL24 campaign will see SelectScience partner with a variety of organisations, clinical laboratories and industry brands, to raise awareness of the role of clinical professionals, and those who support them.

As part of the partnership, both organisations will share updates and content of interest to their audiences and AMI will supply speakers for SelectScience’s upcoming Clinical Summit in March 2025.

Global interdisciplinary community AMI nurtures and engages a global interdisciplinary community, providing opportunities for collaboration, making advancements in, and through, applied microbiology.

“We fundamentally believe that global challenges need to be solved by global, interdisciplinary experts who apply their diverse experience and unique voices to achieve a common goal. Because of this we are a truly inclusive, international organisation,” AMI chief executive Dr Lucy Harper said.

“We bring the microbiology community together across borders and disciplines, we look to the future and nurture those working and studying in our field, and we enable meaningful collaboration to advance scientific impact.

“We are delighted to team up with SelectScience, bringing our members together with other scientists and manufacturers, and we believe this collaboration will be very valuable to all.”

Connecting communities SelectScience’s mission is to accelerate science by connecting scientific communities with trusted technology solutions.

The online publisher informs scientists and healthcare professionals about the latest technology and lab products, through the power of peer-to-peer recommendation, and by partnering with product, technology and service suppliers to engage with scientists’ feedback.

SelectScience’s latest initiative, CLINICAL24, is a global media campaign designed to promote conversation across borders about the latest challenges facing clinical laboratories, and exploring the technology solutions to overcome them.

Peer-to-peer conversation “SelectScience believes that uniting communities and encouraging peer-to-peer conversation, advances science and healthcare. This is why we are delighted to be partnering with AMI, with the shared goal of facilitating knowledge sharing,” says Sonia Nicholas, SelectScience’s Managing Editor and Clinical Lead.

“In October, SelectScience will host CLINICAL24, a conversation designed to cross borders with the goal of sharing knowledge and experience between healthcare systems. We are excited to collaborate with AMI on this feature, to hear from experienced professionals in both of our communities about their current challenges and the use of technology to overcome them.”

New research solves Crystal Palace mystery

New research solves Crystal Palace mystery
2024-09-16
New research has answered the mystery of how the Crystal Palace in London, which at the time was the world’s largest building, was constructed in only 190 days. The study, led by Professor John Gardner of Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) in Cambridge, England, has discovered that the Crystal Palace was the first building known to have made use of a standard screw thread – something that’s now taken for granted in modern construction and engineering. Completed just in time for the start ...

Shedding light on superconducting disorder

Shedding light on superconducting disorder
2024-09-16
The importance of disorder in physics is only matched by the difficulty to study it. For example, the remarkable properties of high-temperature superconductors are greatly affected by variations in the chemical composition of the solid. Techniques that enable measurements of such disorder and its impact on the electronic properties, such as scanning tunnelling microscopy, work only at very low temperatures, and are blind to these physics near the transition temperature. Now, a team of researchers of the Max Planck Institute for the Structure and Dynamics of Matter (MPSD) in Germany and Brookhaven National ...

In January 2024, 16 Frankfurt-based research institutions joined forces to set up the “Frankfurt Alliance”, made up of Goethe University Frankfurt and several non-university research institutions. With the aim of visualizing at an event held in the heart of the Main metropolis both the strength and the diversity of research conducted in the science city of Frankfurt and the larger Rhine-Main region, including its importance for society, the alliance invites you to the first “Science Festival”, held on Saturday, September 28, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Roßmarkt in ...

Alliance presents final results from phase III CABINET pivotal trial evaluating cabozantinib in advanced neuroendocrine tumors at ESMO 2024 and published in New England Journal of Medicine

2024-09-16
The Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology today announced final results will be presented at ESMO 2024 from CABINET (A021602), a phase III trial evaluating cabozantinib compared with placebo in two cohorts of patients with previously treated neuroendocrine tumors: one cohort of patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNET) and a second cohort of patients with advanced extra-pancreatic NET (epNET). The study met the primary objective for each cohort, demonstrating that cabozantinib provided dramatic improvements in median ...

‘Food theft’ among seabirds could be transmission point for deadly avian flu

2024-09-16
The deadly H5N1 avian influenza virus, which has killed millions of birds worldwide since 2021 – and in rare cases can be transmitted to humans – may be spread through the food-stealing behaviour of some seabirds. A study published today in the journal Conservation Letters highlights food theft – also known as ‘kleptoparasitism’, where some seabird species like frigatebirds and skuas force other birds to regurgitate their prey – as a possible transmission path for the spread of avian flu. Led by scientists from UNSW Sydney’s ...
