Diagnosed with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) due to syntaxin-binding protein 1 (STXBP1) mutations, the patient was the first to be treated with one of Capsida’s adeno-associated viruses (AAV) engineered for delivering genetic medicines via IV across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The death of any individual from a promising experimental drug is a tragedy and an unimaginably devastating situation for the family and the DEE community, watching with uncertainty as to whether there will ever be a breakthrough therapy…

Nearly 50 new cancer therapies are approved every year. While this positive trend is a huge benefit for patients, Altuna Akalin, PhD, head of the bioinformatics and omics data science technology platform at the Berlin Institute for Medical Systems Biology of the Max Delbrück Center (MDC-BIMSB) says, “it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep track and to select the treatment methods from which the people affected—each with their very individual tumor characteristics—will benefit the most.” Akalin has been working on developing tools that use artificial intelligence (AI) to make more precise diagnoses and determine the best form of therapy tailored…
Helmholtz Munich and Parse Biosciences today announced a strategic partnership to generate the world’s broadest lung disease perturbation atlas, powered by Parse Biosciences’ GigaLab platform.
