We developed a flexible toolkit for combinatorial screening in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which generates large libraries of cells, each uniquely barcoded to mark a combination of DNA elements. This interaction sequencing platform (iSeq 2.0) includes genomic landing pads that assemble combinations through sequential integration of plasmids or yeast mating, 15 barcoded plasmid libraries containing split selectable markers (URA3, KanMX, HphMX, and NatMX), and an array of ∼24,000 "double-barcoder" strains that can make existing yeast libraries iSeq compatible. Various DNA elements are compatible with iSeq: DNA introduced on integrating plasmids, engineered genomic modifications, or entire genetic backgrounds. DNA element libraries are modular and interchangeable, and any two libraries can be combined, making iSeq capable of performing many new combinatorial screens by short-read sequencing.

This white paper examines the potential of pioneering technologies and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven solutions in advancing clinical trials involving radiotherapy. As the field of radiotherapy evolves, the integration of cutting-edge approaches such as radiopharmaceutical dosimetry, FLASH radiotherapy, image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), and AI promises to improve treatment planning, patient care, and outcomes. Additionally, recent advancements in quantum science, linear energy transfer/relative biological effect (LET/RBE), and the combination of radiotherapy and immunotherapy create new avenues for innovation in clinical trials.

Multispectral imaging (MSI) is a technique used to inspect materials properties in different domains, ranging from industrial to medical and cultural heritage and, recently, precision agriculture. Even though several MSI solutions are already commercially available, the research community is working to optimize multispectral cameras in terms of performance and cost. Systems for the agricultural field are usually very compact, combined with drones for large areas acquisition.

Culturing living cells requires the maintenance of physiological conditions for extended periods of time. Here, we introduce a versatile and affordable incubation system, addressing the limitations of traditional incubation systems. Conventionally, stationary cell incubators maintain constant temperature and gas levels for cell culturing.

Purpose: Although the literature shows that robotic assistance can support the surgeon, robotic systems are not widely spread in clinics. They often incorporate large robotic arms adopted from the manufacturing industry, imposing safety hazards when in contact with the patient or surgical staff. We approached this limitation with a modular dual robot consisting of an ultra-lightweight carrier robot for rough prepositioning and small, highly dynamic, application-specific, interchangeable tooling robots.
