Diversity Alliance for Science will hold its Fourth Annual Networking Conference and Expo on May 17–18, 2011, in Newark, New Jersey. The two-day event will showcase senior government officials, pharmaceutical executives, and CEOs of scientific and clinical businesses, and feature personal networking, relationship building, and collaboration opportunities.
Diversity Alliance for Science supports, mentors, and develops minority-, women-, disabled-, small disadvantaged-, HUBZone-, veteran/service-disabled-, and LGBT-owned businesses in the life science industry. It also works to build relationships between these businesses and government agencies, pharmaceutical firms, biotech companies, and academic medical centers. The primary focus of Diversity Alliance for Science is to identify, develop, and increase spending with diverse suppliers in the life science industry.
This year’s Conference is supported by GlaxoSmithKline, Merck, Amgen, Pfizer, ExecuPharm, Fisher Scientific, Guard Dog Brand Development, Henry Schein, Inc., Johnson & Johnson, Sanofi-aventis, Novartis, Eli Lilly and Company, Abbott, Genentech, VWR International, Daiichi-Sankyo, The Takeda Oncology Company, ISM Pharmaceutical Forum, Bogier Clinical & IT Solutions, Inc., A10 Clinical Solutions, Inc., Liberty IRB, Inc., Bright Pharmaceutical Services, Research Assist, Inc., Integrated Resources, Inc., US Tech Solutions, Drug Safety Alliance, Inc., Caligor Rx, Ancillare Global Clinical Strategies, Spectraforce, and East Hill Video.
AI and Dual-Sensor Spectroscopy Supercharge Antibiotic Fermentation
June 30th 2025Researchers from Chinese universities have developed an AI-powered platform that combines near-infrared (NIR) and Raman spectroscopy for real-time monitoring and control of antibiotic production, boosting efficiency by over 30%.
Toward a Generalizable Model of Diffuse Reflectance in Particulate Systems
June 30th 2025This tutorial examines the modeling of diffuse reflectance (DR) in complex particulate samples, such as powders and granular solids. Traditional theoretical frameworks like empirical absorbance, Kubelka-Munk, radiative transfer theory (RTT), and the Hapke model are presented in standard and matrix notation where applicable. Their advantages and limitations are highlighted, particularly for heterogeneous particle size distributions and real-world variations in the optical properties of particulate samples. Hybrid and emerging computational strategies, including Monte Carlo methods, full-wave numerical solvers, and machine learning (ML) models, are evaluated for their potential to produce more generalizable prediction models.
