Gary Falcetano, Scientific Affairs Manager for Allergy at Thermo Fisher Scientific, is a leader in allergy and autoimmune diagnostics, providing specific IgE tests and the instruments to run them. Accurately diagnosing allergies can be challenging, but specific IgE testing can help confirm the underlying causes by looking at individual allergen components for precise diagnosis. This is the first step in determining the appropriate management approach to potentially interrupt the atopic march, where allergies can progress or even be life-threatening. Gary explains, "It runs the gamut of just about anything that could potentially be an allergy disease. So I think the majority of our testing is done in both environmental allergies and food allergies. What people think about when we, especially this time of year in the US, with spring about to become a big onslaught, are environmental allergies, including pollens, grass, trees, and weeds. Also, looking at some of the indoor triggers to environmental allergies like dust mites, pets, molds, and mice is pretty key when assessing for respiratory-type symptoms. On the food side, any of a number of foods can potentially cause a patient to produce specific IgE, which is the sensitization that allows us to become allergic." "We all think of respiratory allergies as straightforward, but there's an overlap of symptoms, especially from non-allergic causes, that can cause similar symptoms. So when thinking about respiratory allergies, we think about nasal congestion, post-nasal drip, and cough. Those symptoms can all be certainly caused by allergies, but they also can be caused by non-allergic triggers. That's one of the places where diagnostic allergy testing or specific IgE testing comes in to confirm whether we're dealing with an allergy. Then, if it's an allergy, what specifically is driving the symptoms? Once we rule out allergy, we can go down a whole other diagnostic pathway for all the various causes, like non-allergic rhinitis." #ThermoFisherScientific #Allergies #AllergyTesting #ClinicalDiagnostics #PatientCare #IgETesting thermofisher.com Download the transcript here

Nicholas Capman of The FDA Group welcomes David Festa, Director of Corporate Quality at Thermo Fisher Scientific, to explore whether pharmaceutical and medical device companies are auditing suppliers too frequently and with the right personnel.With over 25 years of experience in quality management and oversight of tens of thousands of suppliers, David advocates for a more strategic approach that balances quality, compliance, and business needs through "exception-based" auditing.Rather than rigidly adhering to calendar-based audit schedules, David suggests companies should assess suppliers based on performance metrics, risk factors, and the criticality of materials they provide. He challenges the industry norm that every supplier must be visited at predetermined intervals, arguing that well-performing suppliers with stable processes may not require frequent on-site visits.David emphasizes the importance of matching auditor expertise with supplier categories. For example, an auditor with deep knowledge of plastics manufacturing will provide far more valuable insights when evaluating a plastics supplier than someone familiar only with general standards. This targeted approach has helped Thermo Fisher predict quality issues and decrease the percentage of poor-performing suppliers.The conversation explores how post-pandemic practices have evolved, with companies developing more harmonized approaches to global auditing and implementing centralized audit portals. David also introduces the concept of a "supplier pricing index" that quantifies the true cost of poor quality, providing a more accurate picture of supplier value than piece price alone.While ISO certifications provide a foundation for quality systems, David cautions against over-reliance on certifications or imposing unnecessary standards on suppliers. The most effective approach focuses on whether suppliers can maintain control of their manufacturing processes and consistently deliver quality products, regardless of certification status.For companies looking to optimize their supplier quality programs, the key is putting the right people in the right places, implementing quantifiable metrics, and taking a holistic view that integrates quality with other business functions.____The FDA Group helps life science organizations rapidly access the industry's best consultants, contractors, and candidates.

What compels someone to leave the stability and prestige of a CFO role at IBM Europe for the unknowns of a 16-person startup? For Josh Geballe, it was the thrill of challenge and the promise of making a real impact. His 30-year career reflects this relentless pursuit of meaningful work. From managing finance at IBM to leading Core Informatics as CEO, from VP at Thermo Fisher Scientific to COO of Connecticut's COVID-19 response, Josh has consistently embraced complex problems with courage and determination. Currently, as Managing Director at Yale Ventures, he is creating pathways for entrepreneurs and innovators, all while continuing to push boundaries. Josh's journey shows that taking risks and following your instincts can redefine not just a career but an entire industry. Key Highlights of Our Interview: Big Corporate to Small Chaos “Jumping from one of the world's biggest companies to a 16-person startup was like going from a luxury cruise to a whitewater raft. Every day brought new challenges—chasing customers, closing funding rounds, and ensuring payroll didn't bounce. It wasn't for the faint-hearted, but I embraced the chaos because it was exactly the dynamic challenge I craved.” The Two Engines of Growth: Impact and Challenge “My career choices boil down to two drivers: solving meaningful problems that make a positive impact on society and embracing challenges that push me to grow personally and professionally. It's how I've turned a seemingly unusual career journey into a purposeful adventure.” Gut Instinct: The Silent Strategist “For all the logic and strategy in career decisions, sometimes it comes down to a gut feeling. Big moves in my career have often hinged on an instinctual ‘yes' or ‘no,' and I've been fortunate that those instincts have steered me right—no regrets, just leaps of faith.” Bridging the Academic-Entrepreneurial Divide “Helping brilliant minds shift from academic jargon to investor-friendly pitches is a key part of the role. It's all about connecting ideas to resources—whether that's investors, teammates, or future opportunities. And for students? It's about teaching them to innovate and navigate their career paths, with or without a startup dream right now.” _________________________ Connect with Us: Host: Vince Chan | Guest: Josh Geballe ______________________ Chief Change Officer: Make Change Ambitiously.

In this podcast, we spoke with Isha Dey, Senior Scientist, Cell Biology R&D, at Thermo Fisher Scientific about the challenges researchers face in selecting appropriate cell culture conditions due to variability in cell lines, lack of standardized protocols, and inconsistent reagent quality. Thermo Fisher Scientific's new Cell Culture Select Tool was developed to address these challenges by providing specific recommendations for media, FBS, and cultureware for over 150 cell lines, backed by extensive R&D data. Understanding the Challenges in Cell Culture Selection Thermo Fisher Scientific's new Cell Culture Select Tool addresses a persistent challenge in laboratory science: identifying the appropriate cell culture conditions and selecting the right media, supplements, and reagents for different cell lines. The process is complicated by factors like cell line variability, lack of standardized protocols, and inconsistent reagent quality. These issues can introduce variability and impact experimental results, posing a challenge for scientists across labs. “Different cell lines have unique requirements,” explained Isha. “It's challenging to pinpoint optimal culture conditions due to variability in cell line responses. Additionally, there isn't always a standardized protocol across labs or comprehensive information on specific culturing needs. This can make it difficult to select the most appropriate media, supplements, and other materials.” Ensuring a consistent supply of high-quality products is essential for reproducibility in experiments. Thermo Fisher Scientific's trusted brands, such as Gibco, Nunc, and Invitrogen, are known for their quality, which is critical for minimizing variability in experimental readouts. The Inspiration Behind the Cell Culture Select Tool The idea for the Cell Culture Select Tool originated from an update to Thermo Fisher Scientific's online technical reference library. Previously, the website listed recommended media types segmented by cell line culture methods—adherent, semi-adherent, or suspension. While helpful, this list was lengthy and lacked interactive functionality. Isha said, “We realized that we could streamline this information into a user-friendly tool”. “In our R&D labs, we culture over 150 cell lines using various media, supplements, and equipment. By making this data accessible to other researchers through an interactive tool, we hoped to eliminate the guesswork and enable reproducible cell culture success.” The tool now provides recommendations for specific media, supplements, and cultureware for culturing, passaging, and freezing over 150 cell lines. With in-house data supporting 75% of these lines, researchers gain access to the resources and insights gathered from Thermo Fisher's extensive R&D experience. Selecting Cell Lines for the Tool The team started with cell lines listed in their technical reference webpage and expanded the list based on the lines frequently cultured in their R&D labs. These labs conduct heavy cell culture work for various applications, including media development, fluorescence imaging, Western blotting, flow cytometry, transfection, transduction studies, and more. “We wanted to make our R&D data available to researchers for convenience,” shared Isha. “This effort involved many scientists across R&D sites who contributed data and images showing how each cell line appears in recommended media.” Quality and Verification in Thermo Fisher's Labs The tool's data is backed by rigorous testing in Thermo Fisher's R&D labs. Cells are grown in their respective media, culture plastics, and consumables over multiple passages to ensure accuracy. For cancer cell lines, STR profiling and mycoplasma testing are conducted regularly, while stem cell cultures are assessed for pluripotency and purity using imaging and flow cytometry. “Representative images of cell lines, captured using our EVOS imaging system,

The statistics of Poisson distributions can seem complex at first but are simpler than you think, which is important to know given their relevance to digital PCR. In short, they dictate the confidence you can have in the absolute quantification provided by dPCR. Dr. Dave Bauer, Thermo Fisher Scientific's very own dPCR Product Applications Specialist and statistics whiz, joins us once again for this short-but-sweet episode that's a must hear for those working with rare, or low-abundance PCR targets. Dave and the hosts talk about applications like cancer research where these types of samples are common, and then get into the details of how the Applied Biosystems QuantStudio Absolute Q Digital PCR System works to provide elegantly simple technologies like false positive rejection, background subtraction, low dead volume microfluidic array plates, and a master mix with chamber loading dye. Join us to learn what each of these are all about and how they help to provide confidence and reliability in results that matter for your precious samples. Visit the Absolute Gene-ius pageto learn more about the guests, the hosts, and the Applied Biosystems QuantStudio Absolute Q Digital PCR System.

Women in Chemical's interviews Nicky Burbidge, VP/GM Fine Chemical Products  at Thermo Fisher Scientific, for Woman of the Week 10/07/2024.

Modern science, especially in the genetic and molecular biology spaces, generate vast amounts of data, and require vast amounts of data to be generated for thorough analysis. For example, finding a rare gene mutation such as BCR-ABL as a biomarker for chronic myeloid leukemia is like searching for a needle in a haystack. For a situation like this, dPCR is an ideal method, but high-throughput automation is also needed.Dr. Clarence Lee, Senior Product Manger at Thermo Fisher Scientific, tells how the QuantStudio™ Absolute Q™ AutoRun dPCR suite helps make the benefits of digital PCR available in an easy-to-use high-throughput system. The conversation covers how automation benefits are provided by MAP16 plates, system software, and the AutoRun plate hotel and loading robot. Clarence also talks about customer applications where he sees automation like this being applied to innovate and drive science forward. In the career corner portion, we learn about Clarence's journey from chemist and biophysicist, to roles in industry and his current role as a product manager. He shares what he loves most about his job and what he's most proud of over his career that has spanned several diverse roles. Visit the Absolute Gene-ius pageto learn more about the guests, the hosts, and the Applied Biosystems QuantStudio Absolute Q Digital PCR System.

Biomarker testing has arrived in Obstetrics. Of course, we have been using some biomarkers for years, like PAMG1 (Amnisure) and AFP+ILGFBP1 (ROM Plus) for ROM evaluation. In May 2023, the FDA cleared Thermo Fisher Scientific's maternal serum biomarker test for prediction of preeclampsia with severe features in hospitalized patients (and we have a prior episode on that). Now, as of July 9, 2024, published data has arrived for a new maternal serum biomarker ratio for the prediction of preterm birth in low-risk patients. This is the PreTRM biomarker test. This is on the path for FDA clearance. In this episode, we will review the AVERT Preterm Trial which utilizes a novel biomarker ratio using IGFBP4/SHBG. What did this study find? There some promising aspects to this, and also some striking limitations. Listen in for details!
