The Longevity Valley project was presented at the Embassy of Italy in Washington, a new biotech hub in Lazio dedicated to longevity science and preventive medicine, which aims to create an innovative ecosystem to accelerate biotech discoveries and address the challenges of global aging. #LongevityValley #Biotecnologia #Innovazione (translated)

The American biotechnology company Colossal Biosciences announced progress in research on bringing the extinct dodo bird back to life, using artificial intelligence to analyze its DNA and planning to introduce the necessary genetic changes in its closest relative, the nicobar pigeon. #dodo #sztucznainteligencja #nauka (translated)

Krzysztof Mazur listed European companies and technologies from various industries, arguing that Europe still has significant industrial achievements. Among the examples he cited were Porsche, BMW, Ferrari, Mercedes, and Rolls-Royce cars, Bosch and Siemens automation, ABB robotics, ASML lithography, Airbus A350 aircraft, Ariane 6 rocket, Rafale and Gripen fighters from SAAB, and TRUMPF industrial lasers. He also mentioned, among others, EDF and Schneider in nuclear energy, STMicroelectronics and Infineon in semiconductor manufacturing, Nokia and Ericsson in telecommunications, Siemens Healthineers, Novo Nordisk, BioNTech, AstraZeneca, and Roche in medicine, as well as the Galileo and Copernicus systems and ICEYE and OHB satellites. The list also included Thales radars, Naval Group submarines, Rheinmetall artillery systems, Leonardo helicopters, Kongsberg missiles, Vestas and Siemens turbines, and trains from Alstom, Siemens, Newag, and Pesa. Among further examples, he mentioned the Mistral AI language models, Pasqal and IQM quantum computers, Wilk Electronics memory cards, and prototypes for fusion reactors from Proxima Fusion. Mazur wrote that Europe should regain its technological pride. He assessed that the continent missed the digital revolution but still has excellent companies and technologies. #technologia #innowacje #przemysł (translated)

Ms. Hodl wrote that after her 60th birthday she would begin a new chapter and now wants to write books. In 1990/91, she worked as a young biotechnologist in a laboratory in Heidelberg on the fermentation and purification of recombinant hirudin, which was produced with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. 36 years later, she is researching the history of those technologies in a scientific library in Heidelberg, which she once worked on herself. She wants to write about molecular biology, the history of biotechnology, research, patents, companies, and the people behind them. In doing so, she brings scientific curiosity, a critical perspective, and her own laboratory experience to the table, she explained. #Biotechnologie #Wissenschaft #Lebensgeschichte (translated)

The author wrote that the signals from the sector were unfavorable and that this image was visible throughout Europe. According to the author, the European share of clinical trials had nearly halved in the past 10 to 15 years. As the rapporteur for the European Biotech Act, the author wanted to improve the investment climate with faster procedures. #biotechnologie #klinischeproeven #EuropeseUnie #EU (translated)

German scientists from the University of Bonn have made a breakthrough in biotechnology by rejuvenating the blood cells of an 80-year-old to a biological age of under 20 years, opening new possibilities in aging research and therapies for neurodegenerative diseases. #biotechnologia #komórki #medycyna (translated)

Mehdi presented an hour-long intervention by Demis Hassabis on artificial intelligence and deep tech as a "masterclass." He believed that Hassabis explained how AI could accelerate fundamental sciences, from materials physics to medicine, as well as industrial robotics and biotechnology, to influence the real world at supercomputer speeds. Mehdi contrasted these topics with the superficial content and demonstrations of image and video generation that he claimed to see on social networks, and recommended listening to the intervention. #IA #DeepTech #Innovation (translated)

According to Franzén, CEO of the European private equity company EQT, he sees opportunities for investments in biotechnology and healthcare in the face of Europe's current challenges, despite the high debt burden and rising interest rates. #EQT #Startup #Biotechnologie (translated)

The author wrote that personalised medicine could transform prevention, diagnosis and treatment, but said its breakthroughs would matter only if they reached patients. In a message to a conference on personalised medicine in Ireland, the author said EU pharmaceutical reform and the Biotech Act could support innovation and access. https://t.co/W7FMPjG9Gn #PersonalisedMedicine #Innovation #Healthcare #IE #EU

Western pharmaceutical companies are increasingly investing in Chinese biotech and pharmaceutical firms to secure themselves against the growing competition from China in the field of obesity treatments and cancer therapies, which has significant implications for supply and production in Europe. #Pharmaindustrie #China #Adipositas (translated)

The biotechnology sector is regaining positive momentum, with performances exceeding 40% in the Belgian market, due to new drug approvals, better funding, and a growing trend in mergers and acquisitions, as large pharmaceutical groups urgently need to compensate for patent losses estimated between 300 and 500 billion dollars by the end of the decade. #biotechnologie #santé #innovation (translated)

Europe has strong #biotech companies, but too many of them ultimately find the capital to grow further in China or the US. At the same time, a huge amount of wealth will change hands over the coming years through inheritances and gifts. Why shouldn't a part of that be https://t.co/sN2ufE7HwF #biotech #investeringen #Europa #CN #US (translated)

A new analysis by McKinsey shows that Germany has strong opportunities to remain a global leader in 14 future industries such as biotechnology, mobility, and decarbonization by 2040, if targeted investments are made in these sectors. #Wirtschaft #Zukunftsbranchen #Innovation (translated)
