In the last decade, the science of cell therapy and regenerative medicine has made remarkable progress. Work in this area has also resulted in numerous engineering successes, enabling sophisticated tools that open the door to new approaches for discovery and development of therapeutics. Particularly noteworthy is the recent progress in cell and molecular biology, including in stem cell research and gene editing. In this webinar, we will hear about new tools and the new directions they make possible as well as how each is being commercialized.
How can small molecules be identified that evoke cell or tissue regeneration by design? How can we engineer cells and tissue-growth in situ with a structure suitable for implantation? How can we physically gain access to the interior of cells for both discovery and engineering purposes? And how can the immune system be mapped with single-cell biology to accelerate discovery?
Retail supply chains are being transformed to adopt customer-centric and demand-driven strategies and focus on future capabilities that adapt to the very dynamic environment. This session will discuss the different opportunities behind these transformations in the retail distribution. Particularly we will focus on (1) collaborating with a variety of stakeholders along scalable an smart digital platforms when distributing their products to the ever changing customers and (2) Implementing omnichannel distribution strategies, discussing the main challenges in omnichannel and how the growth of ecommerce is impacting the supply chains.
Transistor footprint scaling is rapidly approaching its limits. But this is not about to slow the rapid progress of information processing technology. On the contrary, 3D integration involving new material systems and devices opens a new era with unprecedented promise.
