About this episode
In recent years, scientific and technological advances have brought great innovation within the life sciences industry, introducing the need for entrepreneurship training for medical and engineering graduates. With this in mind, Michal Gilon-Yanai, Dr Robert Schneider and their collaborators developed an academic program designed to provide students and faculty members with the skills they need to become successful entrepreneurs. The team of collaborators includes Dr Gabrielle Gold-von Simson, an expert in implementing academic programs, and Dr Colleen Gillespie, who specialises in education, evaluation and dissemination science. Their pioneering program trains students on how to bring new biomedical technologies to the market.

Innovative Clinical Trial Design via Artificial Intelligence Identifies Effective Drug and Its Most Efficacious Dose for Treating Early Alzheimer Disease
Phase 3 clinical trials are the most expensive part of drug development, and the most important hurdle to regulatory approval. More than 95% of phase 3 trials in Alzheimer’s disease fail. The main reason is a poor foundation, namely, inadequate or misleading phase 2 trials. Dr. Donald Berry, Founder of Berry Consultants and Founder and Professor of the Department of Biostatistics at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, along with his son Dr. Scott Berry, President of Berry Consultants, are committed to turning the tide. Their revolutionary methodology involves adaptive clinical trial design within a Bayesian statistical approach.
Prof. Andisheh Dadashi | Unraveling the Mysteries of Human Embryo Metabolism: Insights from Computational Models
Metabolism is the cornerstone of life, orchestrating the myriad chemical reactions that sustain cells, tissues, and organisms. It drives growth, division, energy production, and cellular maintenance. For scientists, understanding metabolism, particularly during the earliest stages of human development, holds the key to uncovering the origins of various diseases and developmental disorders. However, studying metabolism in human embryos presents formidable challenges due to ethical considerations, their tiny size, and the intricate web of metabolic pathways. In a groundbreaking study, researchers Prof. Andisheh Dadashi and Derek Martinez of the University of New Mexico-Valencia leveraged advanced computational models to shed light on the metabolic processes occurring in human embryos during the critical peri-implantation stage.
Dr. Kamalini Das | Bridging the Gap: Insights into Pubic Symphysis Separation Postpartum
Childbirth is a remarkable event that brings joy and new beginnings but also poses significant physical challenges to the mother’s body. One such challenge is the separation of the pubic symphysis, a joint located between the left and right pubic bones. Dr. Kamalini Das of Regions Hospital, Minnesota, and her colleagues conducted a groundbreaking study to investigate pubic symphysis separation in women who delivered vaginally versus those who had cesarean sections. Their research provides important insights into the nature of this physiological change and its development postpartum.
Dr Hosam Alharbi | Estimating Human Age Using Wide View Digital Dental Images
Dental features have been used to estimate age in humans for centuries and may be used with great accuracy in both living and deceased individuals. However, refinement of these techniques to align with modern clinical practice is ongoing. Dr Hosam Alharbi and colleagues at Qassim University in Saudi Arabia have introduced an amended version of an established technique to assess whether dental imaging systems used in modern clinics are suitable for determining human age.
