Participating agencies have been required to collect such disclosures since passing of the SBIR and STTR Extension Act of 2022.
Register to attend a free NIH webinar. Attendees will learn about a new method for administering Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). This new method improves both the instrumentation used to deliver TMS treatment, and the treatment’s magnetic pulse pattern; which when applied to an awake rat treatment model, was shown to provide significant improvement over conventional TMS treatment methods.
Continuous manufacturing (CM) is an exciting frontier in drug manufacturing with the capacity to increase process efficiency while reducing costs. Manufacturers are now looking at ways to apply CM to make biologics. Biopharmaceutical continuous manufacturing (BCM) could increase product quality and productivity, enhance the process and product control, and increase flexibility, while also decreasing certain fixed costs associated with facility size and equipment maintenance, thereby reducing the environmental impact. There are barriers to the
widespread adoption of BCM, however
