As businesses prioritise the wellbeing of their employees, the concept of working a 4 day week is shifting from distant pipedream to reality for a range of organisations around the world.
Even if you’ve been through the process, you may not be aware of exactly what goes into M&A deals. Today, we’ve tried to look into that in a little more detail with Transaction Liability Team Leader Grant Hollis from CFC Underwriting,
When we talk about genomics hubs, then usually we’d be talking about Oxbridge, Boston or Silicon Valley thanks to success stories like 10x Genomics, Illumina or Solexa. However, as the technology needed to conduct genomic R&D becomes more accessible
In the US alone, a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in March this year highlighted how 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, leading to the deaths of more than 35,000 people.
One of the biggest partnering events in the life science calendar Bio-Europe Spring, was scheduled to take place in Paris from March 23 – 27 this year. That all changed with the emergence of COVID-19...
We’ve been waiting for the $100 genome for a long time and now it’s here. Check out what our consultants had to say about this big news and other landmark announcements at AGBT 2020.
There’s so much more to the UK biotech scene than just London and Cambridge. In the North, we're surrounded by many fascinating companies who’re innovating and conducting crucial research.

Our Principal Consultant, Adam Butler, talks about the miracles of Stem Cell therapy, the issues surrounding it and the most high-profile case in the treatments' existence.
In today's hyper-connected world, what's the point of conferences? Our Associate Director Jack Shute asked experts from across the speciality chemical space and some of his CM Life Science colleagues to find out.
Since the early 2000’s, before Solexa sequenced bacteriophage phiX-174, single cell genomics has been tipped to become one of the most exciting technologies in genetic analysis.
There’s always a ‘next big thing’ in the healthcare, research and life sciences industries but the emergence and development of the biotech sector is one of the few that has the chance to change the world.
Infectious diseases claim the lives of thousands of people around the world every year. Though methods of diagnosis and treatment have come a long way in recent years, there is still work to do.
In November this year, as first broken by the MIT Technology Review, it was revealed that Chinese scientist He Jiankui had been conducting gene-editing research using CRISPR technology on foetuses as late as 24 weeks into pregnancy.
Just over a year ago, I wrote this article. It was all about the companies who I thought were attempting to compete with, Illumina in the NGS market. Safe to say that last Friday’s announcement that Illumina are acquiring Pacific...
