Posted: Published on June 25th, 2017

By Emma Lockhart | Cronkite News Thursday, June 22, 2017 WASHINGTON You might not know which chemical element in the Hope Diamond has the largest molecular mass, but an eighth-grader from Scottsdale does. Isaiah Hazelwood faced that and other questions faced earlier this week when he squared off against other middle school students from around the country as part of the You be the Chemist National Challenge in Washington. The lanky 13-year-old whos in the eighth grade at Basis Scottsdale won the state competition in February to advance to the nationals on Monday, competing against 41 other students representing 39 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. The competition drew a total of 55,000 students at the local and state levels, according to a prepared statement from Dwayne Sattler, executive director of the Chemical Education Foundation, which sponsored the contest. Students like Isaiah, who are excited about particular subject areas, certainly dive a little bit deeper and our teachers help work with them to foster that excitement, Basis Scottsdale Principal Kristen Jordison said by phone this week. Between rounds, Isaiah spoke quietly and looked away during interviews until the conversation turned to chemistry. Then, he lit up. Im excited … Continue reading

Posted: Published on June 25th, 2017

While Flagship Pioneering was unwrapping a huge $120 million round for Rubius this morning, the busy venture group also launched a biotech on a mission to create a new type of encapsulated cell therapy. Turning to two scientific founders MITs Daniel Anderson and the prolific Robert Langer the discovery group at Flagship has been working on permeable biomaterials that are designed to implant cells in tissue to deliver proteins in a sustained fashion, without triggering fibrosis. Paul Wotton, CEO, Sigilon Researchers have been refining this tech in Flagships VentureLabs for the past two years, and now they are pursuing it at Sigilon Therapeutics with a $23.5 million A round. Imagine the potential of a living therapeutic that could be implanted in the body and manufacture and release therapeutic proteins at steady levels for long periods of time, avoiding the critical limitations of intermittent infusion required with current therapies, said CEO Paul Wotton. Flagship has pulled together another veteran team for this new player. Wotton ran Ocata until it was bought out by Astellas. This rest of the team includes chief technology officer David Peritt, a Pfizer vet, and chief strategyofficer and head of operations Devyn Smith, who was previously head … Continue reading

Cell Medica boosts manufacturing capacity in cell therapy deal – BioPharma Dive

Posted: Published on June 25th, 2017

Dive Brief: Even more than traditional drug development, manufacturing is a crucial step in the development of complex therapeutics like cell therapies. As the field evolves, it will likely be a difference maker between success and setback. Such focus on production and logistics can be see in the attention paid to the processes set up by the more advanced CAR-T developers like Kite Pharma, Novartis and Juno Therapeutics. With this deal, Cell Medica has seized on an opportunity to gain access to an existing GMP facility, taking a short cut to support further development and potential commercialization of the WT1-TCR therapy. More cell therapy products might also be produced at the site in the future, Cell Medica said. Catapult Therapy TCR was created by CGT Catapult, UCL Business and Imperial Innovations the technology transfer arms of University College London and Imperial College, London in order to develop the WT1-TCR cell therapy. By acquiring Catapult Therapy TCR, Cell Medica can also integrate WT1-TCR cell therapy into its Dominant TCR platform technology. This has potential to improve efficacy, Cell Medica believes, and to expand use of the therapeutic from its existing focus on blood cancers to hard-to-treat solid tumors such as mesothelioma … Continue reading

ASA provides input to USDA, FDA on advances in biotechnology – High Plains Journal

Posted: Published on June 25th, 2017

The American Soybean Association submitted comments recently to both the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regarding regulations in response to advances in genetic engineering. ASA included in comments to USDA, that biotechnology is an essential tool in farmers quest to produce enough food to meet the needs of 9.7 billion people by 2050, creating the need for a clear, science-based regulatory system in the U.S. as an example and standard for regulatory systems of biotechnology internationally. While applauding USDAs efforts to reduce the burden on regulated entities, ASA expressed concern that aspects of the rule as proposed will increase the regulatory burden and stifle research and innovation. Additionally, ASAs comments to FDA cheered USDAs proposal to exclude certain genome-editing techniques from requiring pre-market approvals because they are low risk and could be found in nature or achieved through traditional breeding methods. ASA concluded its support saying, Technological advancements such as genome editing offer an additional tool to combat threats while also improving sustainability in production agriculture.
