Scientist.com is pleased to announce that the Tuberculosis Drug Accelerator (TBDA) program will be hosting a town hall-style webinar on December 13, 2017 to address the challenges in TB drug discovery.

Scientist.com was one of 90 California businesses chosen to receive tax credits for supporting job growth and investing in the state’s overall economy.

Scientist.com’s Director of Data Science and Bioinformatics, Manuel Duval, PhD, reports on the “Translating Drug Discoveries into Medicines” panel at the 4th Drug Discovery Innovation Programme.

In its mission to help empower and connect scientists worldwide, Scientist.com first partnered with the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 2013. Since then, the relationship has evolved and grown stronger as illustrated by the recent launch of the newly expanded NIH Collaborative Research Exchange (CREx) marketplace, which is now available to researchers at 20 institutes and centers within the NIH. Created in partnership with the NIH Intramural Research Program (IRP), the goal of CREx is to connect NIH IRP researchers in different geographic locations to a wealth of shared scientific resources and promote internal and external research collaborations.

With San Diego hosting the 2017 BIO International Convention from June 19-22, the Scientist.com team joined the over 16,000 attendees and 1,800+ exhibitors at the four-day event, meeting countless individuals from a variety of disciplines spanning the entire biotech industry.
