Streamlining Life Sciences Research: Simplifying Data Access with Design Principles
Life Sciences research and development is complicated: complex tasks are carried out in an environment of big data, specialised technology and regulated processes. The challenges of this complexity risks making processes and interactions iterative, slow and expensive. To accelerate innovation in the development of safe and effective treatments, Life Sciences organisations need to cut through these challenges […]

With the spread of airborne pathogens, where you sit when using mass transit matters
New research into how aerosols move through the air could help reduce the spread of diseases, such as COVID-19, providing insights into the ventilation requirements of public transport, healthcare facilities, and workplaces. On a regular day, whether you’re at home, at work, or out socializing, it’s highly likely that you’ll come face-to-face with someone else […]
