Wearable diagnostics paving the way in Biotechnology
There’s an emerging trend in the healthcare industry with medical wearables. Wearable devices that monitor bio signals with high fidelity could be part of a healthy lifestyle. Much like devices used in hospitals, wearable diagnostics present positive disruption to biotechnology and the health care industry. Wearable healthcare technology consists of users wearing devices on their […]
Biotechnology Advances in Diabetes Diagnosis
World Diabetes Day is acknowledged on 14th November 2022 and according to Diabetes UK, someone is diagnosed with diabetes every two minutes. Like most diseases, early diagnosis can prevent medical emergencies and reduce the ongoing risk later in life. This month we’re exploring how biotechnology companies have made significant advances in the diagnosis and treatment of […]
Understanding breast cancer and biotechnology
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK accounting for 15% of all new cancer cases, with around 56,000 new cases every year. Breast cancer occurs when abnormal cells within the breast grow in an uncontrolled manner, which in turn can form tumours. Every October, people all over the world are raising funds […]
How diagnostics have been improved for Urologic conditions

How biotechnology can help the climate emergency
Biotechnology is thought to be one of the most important sectors that could help towards the global climate emergency, both in slowing down the impact humans and animals are having on the planet and in preparing us for a warmer world. We’d like to take a look at the areas in which biotechnology companies can […]
How is biotechnology used with marine life?
Marine biotechnology is hugely important when we consider the notion that life started in the sea. Our planet’s surface is mostly ocean containing the most diverse and ancient forms of life, some of which probably remain unknown to humankind. From bacteria to unique chemical compounds, our oceans are full of biological elements which are hugely […]
