Key takeaways

01

UV-C sterilization technology addresses gaps left by traditional cleaning methods.

02

Liquid cleaners are prone to human error, which the new technology can reduce.

03

Finsen Light focuses on improving hygiene practices during the pandemic.

Justin Low, CEO of Finsen Light, joined us to talk about his company and the challenges of conventional cleaning methods in the face of the pandemic.

According to Justin, liquid cleaners are prone to gaps of human error through repetition. Finsen light looks to bring UV-C sterilization technology to fill in those gaps for businesses everywhere in an affordable package. A long collaboration between medical researchers, electricians, and product designers has produced what Finsen Light believes will be a real gamechanger both in the COVID-19 era and for years to come.

UV-C light is a type of ultraviolet light that is capable of breaking up the DNA in germs and rendering them sterile and non-functional. It’s not a new technology, but it’s gaining a lot of traction due to its ability to kill airborne superbugs, such as SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. One of the main challenges for Justin and his team was finding a way to make the technology accessible on a consumer level for businesses.

As to whether or not cleaning practices will ever return to pre-Coronavirus levels, Justin doesn’t think so. “Is this going to be the new normal for businesses in the future? I think the answer is ‘yes,’” said Justin.

At least there’s Finsen Light to light the way.

Quotient Sciences launches Phase I study of what it calls the first AI-formulated drug in the clinic

Quotient Sciences launches Phase I study of what it calls the first AI-formulated drug in the clinic

Quotient Sciences has initiated a Phase I clinical study at its UK facility for an oral solid dose formulation designed using artificial intelligence — what the company believes is the first AI-formulated drug to reach human clinical evaluation. The study, cleared by the UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, will assess safety and pharmacokinetics in healthy volunteers. The program, which used Intrepid Labs' machine learning algorithm, signals a broader shift in how contract drug development organizations are integrating AI across formulation and clinical workflows.

  • 01Quotient Sciences initiated a Phase I study of an AI-designed oral solid dose formulation at its UK facility following MHRA approval — the first such case the company believes has been reported.
  • 02The formulation was developed using Intrepid Labs' advanced machine learning algorithm in combination with Quotient Sciences' Translational Pharmaceutics platform.
  • 03The milestone is part of a broader CRDMO strategy to embed AI-enabled approaches across formulation development and clinical workflows, with implications for the wider contract pharma sector.
