The pharmaceutical company Merck & Co. in New Jersey and Samsung Bioepis Co. in Seoul, South Korea agreed on a deal for licensing and taking to market non-branded biologic therapies called biosimilars. While the companies released an outline of the financial arrangements, the dollar amount of the agreement . . . → Read More: Merck, Samsung to Collaborate on Biosimilars
By Alan, on October 18th, 2012% Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria (CDC)
Researchers in the U.S. and Korea found the antibiotic linezolid largely effective in treating patients with extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis, who had not responded to previous treatments. The findings of the team led by Clifton Barry of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes . . . → Read More: Antibiotic Found Effective On Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis
By Alan, on October 3rd, 2012% Moon Kim (University of Texas – Dallas)
Materials scientists at University of Texas in Dallas and Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology in Korea developed a process for making the size of nanopores in the material graphene small enough to read a single strand of DNA. The discovery is outlined in a recent . . . → Read More: Technique Devised for Controlling Graphene Nanopore Size
