This is an exciting time to work on emerging therapies. Viral vectors are driving the development of many of these new options, mainly cell and gene therapies but also oncolytic therapies and vaccines. Together, these technologies treat rare genetic diseases, cancers, and have the potential to mitigate and control outbreaks and the spread of disease. The promise of gene therapies is relatively untapped, with potential indications expanding to more common diseases.

Food science is a broad discipline that encompasses at least three related principles. The first is to understand the biological, chemical, and physical properties of food and the mechanisms by which they function. The next is to understand the external factors that can result in spoilage or contamination and leverage those mechanisms to mitigate it.

Automated liquid handling is indispensable to biomedical workflows. Evolving technologies like next generation sequencing, flow cytometry, and surface plasmon resonance require. The ability to transfer broad ranges of volumes and incorporate liquids with disparate chemical and physical properties while achieving repetition, precision, and reproducibility. Human hands cannot approach such precision or consistency, making the liquid handler essential to the modern lab.
