The biggest chemistry news from 2014 sets the scene for the New Year

Posted: Published on January 7th, 2015

Scrutinizing the flood of chemistry news from 2014 reveals which stories had the greatest impact on the field's science, policy and industry landscapes. Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN), the weekly newsmagazine of the American Chemical Society, rounds up the year's game-changing news that could potentially influence the course of the coming year. The hottest science picks from C&EN include expanding the genetic code and major advances in the development of inexpensive solar cells. Chemists also were busy in the lab, chasing down new treatments for the Ebola epidemic. On the regulatory side of science, activists ramped up pressure to label products made with genetically modified organisms. Many lawmakers urged restrictions on the use of insecticides called neonicotinoids, which some research suggests affects bee health. And a chemical leak in West Virginia fueled concerns over the lack of toxicity data and oversight of thousands of substances used in industry. Top business news of 2014 peeled back the curtain on challenges facing industry giants, including skyrocketing construction costs for chemical makers and increasing calls from shareholders to boost profits through major reorganizations. The effects of these shake-ups and more could ripple well into the New Year and beyond. ### The American Chemical … Continue reading

Gamida Cell’s NiCord gets FDA and EMA orphan drug status

Posted: Published on January 7th, 2015

Published 07 January 2015 Gamida Cell, a leader in cell therapy technologies and products for transplantation and adaptive immune therapy, announced that orphan drug designation has been granted by The US Department of Health and Human Services, The FDA Office of Orphan Products Development (OOPD) for the investigational medicinal product NiCord for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), Hodgkin lymphoma and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The FDA orphan drug designation coincides with the positive opinion of the European Medicines Agency's (EMA's) Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products (COMP) regarding NiCord as a treatment for AML. Gamida Cell intends to file for NiCord orphan drug status with the EMA for other indications as well. "Receipt of orphan drug status for NiCord in the US and Europe advances Gamida Cell's commercialization plans a major step further, as both afford significant advantages. We very much appreciate the positive feedback and support of the FDA and EMA and look forward to continuing what has been a very positive dialogue with these important agencies," said Gamida Cell president and CEO Dr. Yael Margolin. The FDA and EMA grant an orphan drug designation to promote the development of products that demonstrate promise for … Continue reading

Biology professor named Fulbright Alumni Ambassador

Posted: Published on January 7th, 2015

January 7, 2015 St. Olaf College Professor of Biology Anne Walter has been named a Fulbright Alumni Ambassador by the Institute of International Education. The Fulbright Scholar Program supports more than 800 U.S. faculty and professionals each year to teach or conduct research in 125 countries around the world. To increase the diversity of the scholars who participate in the program, the Institute of International Education launched the Fulbright Alumni Ambassador Program. Each year, Alumni Ambassadors are selected competitively to present information on their Fulbright experience at campus workshops, academic conferences, and other venues. Over a two-year period, they play an important role in raising the visibility of the Fulbright program. Walter received a Fulbright scholar grant to spend the 2009-10 academic year as a visiting lecturer in the Zoology Department at Madras Christian College in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. One of the key reasons Walter applied to teach in India is because she is the advisor for St. Olaf Colleges Biology in South India program, which each year offers 10 students a chance to work on two independent research projects at several sites in southern India. Research topics range from rural health care and diseases such as leprosy and … Continue reading

3 Tech Giants Quietly Investing in Synthetic Biology

Posted: Published on January 7th, 2015

The introduction and widespread adoption of fun new gadgets, games, and services in the last 15 years has provided billions of dollars of revenues and profits to the technology companies innovative (and lucky) enough to grab your attention. So if I asked what you think will fuel the growth of today's technology giants in the next 15 years, what would your answer be? You might say familiar or trendy terms, such as user growth or the Internet of Things. Or perhaps that the companies with the most innovative products and services will reign king in tomorrow's tech markets. And while those are likely partially correct answers, there's a tremendous amount of growth to be had from a rather unlikely source. It might be difficult to believe that companies that have traditionally relied on silicon chips, mobile apps, and lines of software code could profit from something as seemingly disconnected as making biological engineering as predictable as traditional engineering fields, but a closer look into research and development spending hints that it may not be that far-fetched after all. Why are Autodesk , Intel , and Microsoft quietly investing in synthetic biology, and what could it mean for investors? Project Cyborg … Continue reading
