ACCESS TO INTERESTING BIOSCIENCES STORIES FROM YOUR TAB A HiMedia Newsletter L ab to T ab ™ Peptones, Protein Hydrolysates Proteins are the building blocks for all life, hydrolysing them and breaking them into tiny bits that become palatable as well as delectable is an art bordering on to culinary expertise. My team has mastered this art of hydrolysing proteins in combinations, using exquisite combos of enzymes. Role of peptides in various areas and in our day to day life cannot be underestimated. Various teams are working on these lines, and HiMedia are proud to be working in tandem. Our pioneering efforts at giving you 100% vegetable based peptones, and subsequently 1500 animal free culture media, underlines our commitment to a sustainable planet. Biosimilar, Another Protein Based Product HiMedia ventured into the Biosimilar arena to exponentially bring down the costs of monoclonal antibody therapy. Our aim is to provide high quality tailor made media and feed to support synthesis of the desired Biosimilar at an affordable cost. This would augment the patient’s affordability index geometrically especially in the area of cancer biological therapy, helping patients across national boundaries, making the world a better place to live. Truly, the Biosimilars revolution will soon be engulfing the whole of the globe, sooner that we would like to admit. The research work in this area not only challenging but also involves costly capex investment. HiMedia is well geared to overcome this challenge. My research teams are untiringly working on these challenges today, so that the dream of Biologic Drugs is made a reality for the common man. With your support we are sure to win this battle. Food Adulteration The monster of food adulteration is as old as humanity, and its insatiable greed. Many have fallen fighting this monster, and many have lost their vigor due to its stealthy attacks. Advances in real time PCR assays, today are leaving this monster no space to hide its face. The ‘pork in beef’ adulteration detection kit, for instance, can now detect even 0.1%, and the same is true for genetically modified adulterants. However, this forces all of us to be vigilant all the time. Our teams have empowered you with several options for combat readiness. Our 42 years’ expertise inBioSciences empowers you toplay a positive role in sustaining the Spaceship Earth. Ours is the only planet known to have life in our known universe. Let us safeguard it and work towards improving the quality of life on Planet Earth, as “Life is Precious”.
