We brought together a group of our own women scientists to discuss women in science, share their personal experiences and explore the future of data science.
Guest host, Kathryn Morrissey, speaks with Liesbeth Ceelen, Sandra Steyaert, Eva Balini, and Laura De Cnop about their journey in data science.
For over a century, the life sciences industry has relied on animal models as the standard for predicting drug safety and effect. But today, the industry faces a harsh reality: over 90% of new drugs that appear safe and effective in animal tests ultimately fail in human clinical trials (see for example Ineichen et al. 2024 [1] and Marshall et al. 2023[2])
Oncology drug development often begins in patients, allowing early safety and efficacy insights. Yet many cancer drugs still fail in the clinic. We validate the target but ignore its context within the tumor microenvironment. This article explores why spatial biology may improve clinical success.
BioLizard has been named “Bioinformatics Innovation of the Year” in the 2025 BioTech Breakthrough Awards. The honor spotlights Bio|Verse® Navigator, a visual analytics workspace that unifies complex R&D data so scientists can decide faster, with confidence.
