Hello Industry Colleagues, We are living in times where we see the life sciences industry being at the cusp of a ‘once in a generation’ inflection point. The Indian life sciences industry witnessed consistent growth over the last three decades and continues to demonstrate a promising future. After the liberalization in the 1990s, domestic life sciences companies began expanding their footprint and started focusing on the development of new products and filing of patents. The industry witnessed extensive expansion overseas as well, primarily driven through the pharmaceutical industry. The booming pharmaceuticals industry is not only a great source of innovation and employment generation, but it has also become a global healthcare provider in need as we all saw during the COVID- 19 pandemic. So when India is being touted as the pharmacy of the world, it is rightfully so. In my view the growth for the life sciences industry will continue to ride on two factors – the academia & the exchange of technologies & knowledge amongst the industry players. With the increasing occurrences of cancer and infectious diseases, most of the industries are collaborating with academia for applied research which in turn provide an effective economic solution for disease management. This transformation is rapidly spreading to various areas of biological research in India and academia will help us capitalize this phase. Do you, as industry experts, agree to this view? Would love to hear from you.

At Corning Life Sciences, we are proud to play a small part in this miracle. Our Falcon ® IVF plasticware is designed to help you achieve normal growth and development, and ultimately, successful results with your highly sensitive IVF and reproductive applications. The products were designed and created in partnership with embryologists, to ensure safe and reliable products for sophisticated IVF and other assisted reproduction applications.             Dr. Veronica Gil discusses how 3D cell culture is enablingscientists to develop and craft organ-specific tissues fromstem cells to transform prostate cancer therapy ln this exclusive interview, we learn about Dr. Veronica Gil's work on the developmentand establishment of in vivo and 3D in vitro models to improve understanding of themechanisms underlying advanced prostate cancer by using Corning 3D Cell CultureProducts. Gil is a Higher Scientific Officer at the Institute of Cancer Research in London,where she works as part of the Cancer Biomarkers team led by Prof.Johann de Bono.                   Lab Safety Practices: CorningR Lambda TM EliteTouch TM Pipettors Lambda EliteTouch pipettors have been designed to maintain their calibration, evenafter repeated use and autoclaving. A key is included with each pipettor for easyin-house calibration.Single-channel pipettors are compatible with narrow tubes.Thewidest shaft diameter (1000 uL model) is smaller than 10 mm.The multi-channel shaftsretract individually for perfect tip loading and easier tip ejection.                   Turn up the volume on your 3D cell culture The choice between manual and automated cell counting has long been a difficult one.Manual cell counting is accurate but often time-consuming and subject to user error.Automated cell counting is faster and less user-dependent, but disposable slideconsumables can be expensive.Finally, there is a solution. The new Corning Cell Counter is the first cell counter that combines the best features ofautomated and manual cell counting. It is fast, accurate, and affordable.
