"5G is becoming a great enabler for industries, enterprises, in-building connectivity and a variety of use cases, because now we can provide both the lowest latency and the highest bandwidth possible,” states Ganesh Shenbagaraman, Radisys Head of Standards, Regulatory Affairs & Ecosystems.In the recent episode of the Tech Transformed podcast, Shubhangi Dua, Podcast Host, Producer, and Tech Journalist at EM360Tech, speaks to Shenbagaraman about 5G and edge computing and how they power private networks for various industries, from manufacturing, national security to space.The Radisys' Head of Standards believes in the idea of combining 5G with edge computing for transformative enterprise connectivity. If you're a CEO, CIO, CTO, or CISO facing challenges of keeping up the pace with capacity, security and quality, this episode is for you. The speakers provide a guide on how to achieve next-gen private networks and prepare for the 6G future. Real-Time ControlThe growing need for real-time applications, such as high-quality live video streams and small industrial sensors with instant responses, demands data processing to occur closer to the source than ever before. Alluding to the technical solution that provides near-zero latency and ensures data security, Shenbagaraman says:"By placing the 5G User Plane Function (UPF) next to local radios, we achieve near-zero latency between wireless and application processing. This keeps sensitive data secure within the enterprise network."Such a strategy has now become imperative in handling both high-volume and mission-critical low-latency data all at the same time. Radisys addresses key compliance and confidentiality issues by storing the data within a private network. Essentially, they create a safe security framework that yields near-zero latency to guarantee utmost data security.Powering Edge Computing ApplicationsThe real-world benefit of this zero-latency setup is the power it gives to edge computing applications. As the user plane function is the network's final data exit point, positioning the processing application near it assures prompt perspicuity and action."The devices could be sending very domain-specific data,” said Shenbagaraman. “The user plane function immediately transfers it to the application, the edge application, where it can be processed in real time."It reduces errors and improves the efficiency of tasks through the Radisys platform, with the results meeting all essential requirements, including compliance needs.One such successful use case spotlighted in the podcast is the Radisys work with Lockheed Martin's defence applications. "We enabled sophisticated use cases for Lockheed Martin by leveraging the underlying flexibility of 5G,” the Radisys speaker exemplified. Radisys team customised 5G connectivity for the US defence sector. It incorporated temporary, ad-hoc networks in challenging terrains using Internet Access Backhaul. It also covered isolated, permanent private networks for locations such as maintenance...

In this masterclass episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Dr. Julie Faitg, Senior Manager of Applied Research and Regulatory Affairs at Timeline, to uncover how mitochondrial science is transforming the future of skin longevity.Dr. Feitge challenges the familiar “powerhouse” analogy, instead calling mitochondria the “CEO of the cell.” Far from passive energy producers, these organelles orchestrate communication, repair, and renewal—directly influencing collagen production, elasticity, and cellular resilience. “If your mitochondria aren't healthy,” she explains, “the entire cascade of cellular function begins to falter.”Through vivid analogies, Dr. Feitge describes how mitochondria behave differently across tissues—fueling endurance in muscles, focus in the brain, and regeneration in the skin. This adaptability, she notes, is what makes them the foundation of both vitality and longevity.The conversation dives into mitochondrial resilience, the skin's ability to repair and recover from stress. Aging begins when this resilience declines, leading to diminished energy, slower renewal, and visible signs of fatigue.Dr. Faitgd highlights Timeline's breakthrough ingredient, Mitopure® (Urolithin A)—a clinically validated compound that triggers mitophagy, the process of recycling damaged mitochondria. In trials, topical Mitopure® improved collagen expression, hydration, and firmness while reducing inflammation and UV-induced stress.Developed in Switzerland under rigorous safety and precision standards, Timeline's skincare line redefines beauty as m—a shift from treating the surface to revitalizing the source.

With more than 25 years of pharmaceutical manufacturing experience spanning branded, generic, and OTC products, Jeff brings a deep perspective on sustaining inspection readiness across multiple sites while leading global quality teams.Jeff shares why inspections feel less predictable today—with more variability in inspector experience and a higher likelihood that minor issues become formal observations—and how leaders can respond without overreacting. He explains how to prepare documentation so that it's understandable to any inspector, what makes a quality system truly “robust” in practice, and why culture, accountability, and simplicity matter as much as compliance.Nick and Jeff also explore practical steps for keeping data integrity controls sharp, building efficient systems that don't overburden teams, and fostering engagement so quality is seen as a partner, not just a policing function.About The FDA Group: The FDA Group helps life science organizations rapidly access the industry's best consultants, contractors, and candidates.

The FDA Group's Nick Capman speaks with Marcus Gesner, Vice President of Global Quality at embecta. With more than two decades of leadership experience at companies including Boston Scientific, Olympus, Covidien, JUUL Labs, and others, Marcus brings a unique perspective to what makes a quality organization truly high-performing.Marcus shares why compliance is only the baseline “entry fee” for quality—and how high-functioning teams go further by protecting a company's right to compete, preventing manufacturing and supply disruptions, enabling speed to market, and building trust across the business.He discusses the metrics that matter most (like defect rates, back orders, holds, complaints, and R&D delays), how to structure incentives that drive the right behaviors, and practical strategies for recruiting, onboarding, and retaining people with the drive, courage, and creativity to lead meaningful change.Nick and Marcus also explore how leaders can create the right balance of accountability and innovation, foster collaboration across functions, and ensure quality is seen as a value-driving partner rather than a cost center or policing function.About The FDA Group:The FDA Group helps life science organizations rapidly access the industry's best consultants, contractors, and candidates.

The latest episode of Parsing Immigration Policy features Elizabeth Jacobs, Director of Regulatory Affairs and Policy at the Center for Immigration Studies, discussing USCIS's updated guidance on discretion in immigration benefits.Key Points:Beyond “Not a Criminal”: New USCIS policy updates require officers to engage in a more holistic analysis of whether naturalization applicants demonstrate “good moral character,” a requirement for naturalization that has been a part of U.S. immigration law since the beginning. In addition, the agency is now asking officers to consider any anti-American, antisemetic, or terrorist activity as “overwhelmingly negative” factors when evaluating whether an applicant warrants a positive grant of discretion.Discretionary Benefits: Many immigration benefits under the INA — including asylum, national interest waivers under EB-2, and naturalization — are discretionary. Even if eligibility requirements are met, USCIS officers may deny them.Good Moral Character Assessments:Traditionally treated as a checklist; now assessed holistically.Focuses on demonstrating positive attributes and rehabilitation, not just the absence of misconduct.Negative Factors for Discretionary Denials: Officers are instructed to treat support for anti-American ideologies, antisemitism, and terrorism as “overwhelmingly negative factors” when exercising discretion on discretionary immigration benefit requests.Expanded Use of Vetting Tools:Increased use of social media screening, fraud detection, and neighborhood/personal investigations.Previous policies often waived these investigations; the update clarifies they are a standard part of discretion.Balancing Efficiency and Vetting: With millions of applications annually, USCIS must balance rigorous vetting with timely processing. The agency is shifting culture to prioritize serving the American people, not just applicants.Cultural Shift: USCIS is shifting emphasis from serving as a “service agency” to serving as a vetting agency, using the discretion granted by Congress to protect national security and uphold American values — a departure from prior policies favoring mass approvals.Immigration Newsmaker Interview: USCIS Director Joe Edlow will be featured today in an Immigration Newsmaker conversation hosted by CIS at the National Press Club.
