The Tale of Two Companies: One Viral Vector Partner for Every Stage of Gene Therapy Development
Gene therapies can correct diseases at their genetic core, but their success hinges on viral vector manufacturing. As gene therapy technology becomes more advanced, producing viral vectors becomes more challenging, requiring a manufacturing partner that is not only versed in viral vector production but also agile enough to adapt to the shifting tides of innovation.
A closer look at the experiences of two companies -- NysnoBio, a client of UF Innovate | Accelerate, and bluebird bio -- offers insight into what sponsors at different stages of the development and manufacturing cycle need in a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) partner.
Tech Tuesday: CamoReady
In this week’s Tech Tuesday, UF Innovate and SCAD Media go “under cover”, almost literally, as students at the University of Florida find a way to help the U.S. military camouflage their vehicles
NASA Selects UF Mission To Better Track the Earth’s Water and Ice
NASA has selected a team of University of Florida aerospace engineers to pursue a groundbreaking $12 million mission aimed at improving the way we track changes in Earth's structures, such as tectonic plates and oceans.
UF Research Foundation Names 2024 Professors
The University of Florida Research Foundation has named 34 of the university’s most productive and promising faculty members as UFRF Professors for 2024.
Underwater Data Centers Are the Future. But a Speaker System Could Cripple Them.
A new study from a group of cybersecurity and robotics researchers at the University of Florida and the University of Electro-Communications in Japan reveals for the first time a critical vulnerability of underwater data centers: sound. Carried by dense water, and targeting the resonant frequencies of hard drives, sound injection attacks can make servers unresponsive and crash networks. After just a few minutes, some hard drives are even permanently destroyed. However, the scientists also developed a machine learning algorithm that can accurately identify sound attacks, allowing the system to respond before it crashes.
