HEALTHCARE

Personalized medicine in cancer treatment is an approach that allows doctors to select the right treatments for a patient based on detailed molecular information of their tumor — which is usually obtained by testing a tissue biopsy. Liquid biopsies are set to transform the landscape of cancer diagnostics.

HOW WILL LIQUID BIOPSY TRANSFORM CANCER DIAGNOSTICS ?

THE

LIQUID BIOPSY TRANSFORMING CANCER DIAGNOSTICS AND TREATMENTS

Liquid biopsies also offer a much less invasive alternative to the standard tissue biopsy, which translates into less pain, a lower risk of complications and is more convenient for the patient. This type of test also enables doctors to get faster results, more regularly, to better monitor the tumor response and adapt a person’s treatment if necessary. Getting laboratory results from a liquid biopsy typically takes less than ten working days — and in the future, there is even the potential for on-the-spot analysis [1].

Many biopsies are relatively easy to collect when it comes to tissues from the mouth, skin, or breast; but this often isn’t true for tumors that lie deep inside As a cancer grows and spreads, it evolves.

Our dedication towards customer experience extends from the lab to our e-commerce platform, which connects scientists in nearly every country with the products, publications and technical expertise needed to advance research, manufacturing and development at a faster pace. Our work is helping to redefine the industry as we know it, partly because we believe science should know no bounds. Since the human genome was fully decoded 16 years ago, gene editing and novel modalities have rapidly evolved. Cell and gene therapies provide life-saving treatments to many patients. Our biopharmaceutical and biomanufacturing services address all phases of such therapeutic developments, which in turn help to deliver cutting-edge, regenerative medicines to our customers. With CRISPR technology, the DNA of an organism can be edited; furthermore, gene sequences within a cell can be separated or even replaced. These possibilities are coupled with enormous responsibility; therefore, we support research that deals with genome editing when it complies with statutory regulations, has carefully considered all ethical standards, and has a clearly defined bioethics policy.

Factors such as an aging global population and an increase in chronic diseases are catalysts for a new era of advanced discovery in drug manufacturing. Developments in biologics and therapies have a great potential in treating illnesses where no other options are available. Despite this promising potential, the clinical development journey of a new biologic is a long and challenging process that we are working on to strengthen and evolve. To aid clinical development, our BioContinuum™ Platform is ushering in the next generation of bioprocessing that is connected and fully continuous. As a result, our strategic building blocks, which include our BioContinuum™ Platform, have the potential to accelerate access to recently developed, life-saving therapies that address the healthcare needs of underserved populations. With today’s labs of the future, laboratory informatics has leveraged technology and accelerated discovery by optimizing operations for our scientists and customers. Optimized workflows empowered by connectivity and efficiency are enhancing digital lab productivity. R&D expertise, combined with a comprehensive portfolio, allows us to deliver innovative technologies that make research and biotech production simpler, faster and safer.

ADVANCING

DIGITAL LIVING We are the company behind the companies advancing digital living everywhere. Our main focus is in the electronics market with our materials and solutions which change the way we access, store, process and display information.

PERFORMANCE MATERIALS

Artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT) and autonomous driving are creating pressure for the next generation of innovations when it comes to all aspects of data processing. Data communication is growing exponentially at a rate of more than 30 % annually and this data explosion will transform electronics far beyond what today’s systems can handle. Data needs to be generated, transferred, processed, stored and made comprehensible to people through smart interfaces. We have depicted these five key functions in a “data circle” (see figure).

Wafer processing is another important key manufacturing step for today’s high-end microchips worth mentioning. Wafer processing is when the transistors and memory cells are generated on a silicon wafer by a complex sequence of different process steps. With the help of Versum Materials and Intermolecular, we now have solutions that cater to the entire scope of wafer processing. Together with our customers, we are working on the next generation of microchips. For example, the new 3D-NAND technology that Merck is currently working on allows a storage chip architecture that can be built up vertically instead of being limited to a two-dimensional structure. This chip architecture makes sure that faster performance can be ensured while reducing the energy requirement. Our liquid crystal and OLED display solutions enable the interface between man and machine. Researchers estimate that 80% to 85% of our perception, learning and cognition activities are mediated through vision[1]. Therefore, displays are the key interface between man and machine where visual data is generated and processed.

Strengthened by the recent acquisitions of Versum Materials and Intermolecular, our high-tech solutions will enable the next generation of semiconductors. Semiconductors are the most critical components of data-driven electronics; they determine the performance in data generation (IoT), transfer (5G), processing (AI) and storage.

We are always thinking beyond current available technologies by researching and developing the next generation of materials for displays. OLED materials, for instance, are ideal for flexible displays that are expected to come in the near future; they transform surfaces into incredibly thin and lightweight displays with brilliant coloration and sharp imagery from every viewing angle. What’s more, OLED materials are extremely energy efficient.

GREEN ECO-FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVES TO CONVENTIONAL CHEMICALS With our Green Chemistry program, we are helping our customers contribute to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. Solvents are used for a variety of purposes, such as dry cleaning, printer ink cartridges and nail polish remover. What’s the problem with solvents? Most of them are not particularly eco-friendly and are subject to increasingly stringent regulatory restrictions. To address these issues, we have joined forces with australian Circa Group and the University of York (UK) to launch a “greener” solvent called Cyrene™. Bio-derived from readily available renewable raw materials, Cyrene™ is manufactured from waste cellulose materials extracted from the Monterey pine (pinus radiata), a softwood lumber that is very popular for reforesting fallow land. Cyrene™ is manufactured in just two steps. The manufacturing process is almost energy-neutral and conserves water. This greener solvent is a safer alternative to conventional substances that are under increasing regulatory restrictions due to their associated toxic properties; and with this alternative, we are addressing SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production).
