Nuclera and Cytiva Collaborate to Accelerate Characterization of Proteins for Drug Development
CAMBRIDGE, England & MARLBOROUGH, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nuclera, the biotechnology company accelerating protein expression and optimization through its benchtop eProtein Discovery™ System, has announced a collaboration with Cytiva, a global life sciences leader. This collaboration is focused on accelerating the production, purification and characterization of proteins required for drug research and development, enabled through the combination of Nuclera's eProtein Discovery System with Cytiva's Biacore™ surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology. Proteins represent 95% of drug targets designed to combat disease. Rapid access to these proteins and understanding how they interact with drug candidates is essential for drug development. Typically, it takes months to obtain and characterize proteins, but Nuclera and Cytiva together have achieved production and characterization within five days. This achievement was showcased at industry conferences Discovery on Target and PEGS Europe, where Nuclera's eProtein Discovery System was used to produce Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). These proteins were subsequently functionally characterized using Cytiva's Biacore SPR system. Dr. Yvonne Tan, Associate Director of Product Management, Nuclera, commented: 'Collaborating with life science leader Cytiva supports Nuclera in our mission of improving human health. Through this collaboration, we have demonstrated eProtein Discovery's ability to produce clinically significant proteins that can be used in characterization experiments. Combining eProtein Discovery's capability to streamline protein production workflows with Cytiva's Biacore protein characterization systems open a whole new avenue for accelerating drug development.' Anna Moberg, Senior Manager and Project Manager, Cytiva, added: 'The ability of Nuclera's eProtein Discovery to accelerate protein production and purification complements Cytiva's Biacore SPR technology by streamlining the upstream protein production process. We look forward to continuing our collaboration to further enhance the production of characterizable proteins for drug development.'

Reach Ten, CelcomDigi Team Up To Start Cellular Coverage In Rural Sarawak
REGION - SARAWAK > NEWS KUCHING, April 30 (Bernama) -- Main Market-bound telecommunications service provider Reach Ten Holdings Bhd is collaborating with CelcomDigi Bhd to deliver cellular coverage to underserved rural communities in Sarawak through low energy, low cost and high data load small cell base station services. Reach Ten said in a statement today that the collaboration leverages satellite technology as the cost-effective option to overcome Sarawak's challenging terrain and dispersed population, where it would significantly reduce time and efforts required to deploy 4G networks. "Under the strategic partnership, Reach Ten will provide comprehensive satellite backhaul infrastructure and SatCell devices, while CelcomDigi's spectrum will be utilised to deliver 4G service," it said. bootstrap slideshow As a tier-one satellite service provider with nearly two decades of experience in deploying satellite technology to remote locations in Sarawak, Reach Ten can seamlessly integrate CelcomDigi's reliable 4G network services, as well as deliver and install SatCell satellite system on site. In addition to reducing capital expenditure and accelerating rollout, satellite backhaul also speeds up internet connectivity provision in rural Sarawak as it does not require numerous local authorities' approval in conventional infrastructure, such as approval of land access. Reach Ten managing director Leo Chin said the collaboration aligns closely with both Sarawak's and the federal government's digital growth agendas and supports their mission to deliver fast and affordable internet to all, regardless of location. 'With this collaboration, cost-effective 4G network services will be available anywhere in Sarawak. The only time factor for delivery of internet services would be the time required to travel to the remote areas,' he said. CelcomDigi Head of Region (Sarawak) Enterprise Business, Yvonne Tan, said it is excited to provide seamless internet connectivity to the whole of Sarawak, riding on Reach Ten's expertise in satellite services. 'The collaboration opens up huge possibilities for our communities, from connectivity to education and entrepreneurship, using internet as an essential tool in this age of big data, internet-of-things and artificial intelligence,' she added.

Reach Ten, CelcomDigi to expand 4G access in rural Sarawak
KUALA LUMPUR: Sarawak-based telecommunications provider Reach Ten Holdings Bhd has partnered with CelcomDigi Bhd to enhance 4G connectivity in underserved rural areas of Sarawak through the use of satellite technology. In a statement, Reach Ten said the initiative will deploy low-energy, cost-effective small cell base stations with high data capacity—engineered to address the state's challenging terrain and scattered population. By leveraging satellite-based solutions, the collaboration aims to significantly reduce both the time and cost associated with deploying 4G networks in remote areas where traditional infrastructure like fibre optics or telecom towers is impractical or too costly to implement. Under the strategic partnership, Reach Ten will provide comprehensive satellite backhaul infrastructure and SatCell devices, while CelcomDigi's spectrum will be utilised to deliver 4G service. As a tier-one satellite service provider with nearly two decades of experience in deploying satellite technology to remote locations in Sarawak, Reach Ten can seamlessly integrate CelcomDigi's reliable 4G network services, as well as deliver and install the SatCell satellite system on site to instantly deliver 4G cellular service. In addition to reducing capital expenditure and accelerating rollout, satellite backhaul also speeds up internet connectivity provision in rural areas, as it does not require numerous local authorities' approval in conventional infrastructure, such as approval of land access. Reach Ten managing director Leo Chin said the venture builds on Reach Ten's comprehensive satellite services from Ku-band, Ka-band, and C-band and the recently announced appointment as an official authorised reseller for SpaceX's Starlink satellite services. "With this collaboration, cost-effective 4G network services will be available anywhere in Sarawak. The only time factor for delivery of internet services would be the time required to travel to the remote areas. "Our years of experience in providing rural internet are crucial in ensuring seamless service delivery that positively impacts the daily lives of Sarawakian communities, wherever they are," he added. Head of Region (Sarawak) enterprise business at CelcomDigi, Yvonne Tan, added that the collaboration opens up huge possibilities for communities, from connectivity to education and entrepreneurship, using the internet as an essential tool in this age of big data, the internet of things and artificial intelligence.
