Career Planning for Bioscientists in a Changing Job Market
Most scientists were trained to believe in a straightforward career path: degree, postdoc, permanent position. Work hard, produce good science, and the next step materializes. Except it often doesn’t. Contracts end without renewal, funding priorities shift, or the position you were working toward gets eliminated or goes to someone with different connections. You may meet…

IC₅₀ and Kd are widely used in drug discovery, but they answer different questions. This article explains how to interpret IC₅₀ and Kd correctly, why they’re not directly comparable, and how combining both metrics leads to better compound prioritization and decision-making.
For decades, the diffraction of light has placed a hard limit on optical microscopy. Conventional widefield and confocal microscopes can’t resolve features smaller than about 200 nm laterally, which means critical signaling compartments and the nanoscopic organization of synapse-associated molecules remain hidden. The 21st century brought revolutionary super-resolution technologies, such as stimulated emission depletion (STED),…
To generate reliable quantitative bioluminescent data, you need more than a strong luciferase signal. Optimize bioluminescence assays for high-sensitivity detection by controlling substrate handling, timing, plate-reader settings, and normalization so technical noise doesn’t mask real biology. From luciferase and substrate choice to reader optimisation and in vivo bioluminescent imaging workflows, these practical strategies help you produce reproducible, interpretable data you can trust.
Find out how to detect low-affinity protein binding without using SPR. The Octet® R8e BLI system bridges the gap between speed, simplicity, and sensitivity, transforming drug discovery workflows.
