Asia has, indeed, become the new hub for potential growth and innovation, with no signs of losing steam.

BioSpectrum Asia Honours Industry Stalwarts

 To appreciate the Asian companies and individuals for their commendable performance and achievements during Calendar Year (CY) 2021, BioSpectrum Asia Excellence Awards 2022 ceremony was held at Lavender Ball Room, Hotel Fort Canning in Singapore on December 2, 2022.

These awards are an extension to observe and highlight the winners in the long battle to tackle the world’s emerging health problems and find solutions. Since 2020 and 2021 were majorly affected by COVID-19, we saw the industry players relentlessly working towards developing novel solutions in the form of diagnostic tests, vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, drugs etc. to fight the emergency.

BioSpectrum Asia is playing the role of picking tomorrow’s winners. Through these awards, we are nudging today’s entrepreneurs to achieve greater glory, while honouring yesterday’s key players who have laid the foundation for success.

The evening began with some networking amongst the industry experts which spanned across verticals such as pharma, medical technology, API development, bio therapeutics, venture capitalists etc. The networking session was followed by the awards ceremony, which began with a welcome note from Ravindra Boratkar, Publisher and Managing Editor, BioSpectrum Asia.

The BioSpectrum Asia Excellence Awards 2022 was divided into two segments- Jury and Editor’s choice. The former segment had six categories associated with it- Startup of the year; Product of the year; Woman Entrepreneur of the year; Entrepreneur of the year; and Lifetime achievement award.

Quantum Computing: Future of diagnostics is being coded today

A silent revolution is being built at the intersection of biology and quantum physics. After decades of pushing the boundaries of diagnostics with advanced imaging and AI, we are now approaching a hard computational wall. For complex conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and many cancers, the interacting variables of genomics, proteomics, and real-world patient data are simply too vast for classical computers to master. This limitation caps the ability to move from merely spotting correlations to uncovering true causation. Unlike traditional AI, quantum computing can simulate underlying physical systems to derive precise solutions. The transition from correlational analysis to causal simulation will enable a more valuable and advanced frontier in diagnostics.
