TetraScience disrupts scientific discovery by automating in the cloud
Data ‘plumbing’ helped get the COVID vaccine ready quicker than most people thought possible.
Automation, along with a cloud-first server environment and collaborative networks, are behind an unusually speedy vaccine rollout for COVID, explains a life sciences data-cloud scientist.
The reason vaccine-maker Moderna Inc., for example, was able to successfully shift gears from sequence to its initial vaccine in 50 or 60 days was because of it, according to Mike Tarselli (pictured), chief scientific officer of TetraScience Inc. The company operates a research and development data cloud for life sciences.
Speed requirements aren’t going away. “That kind of delivery is what the market will become accustomed to,” he said.

Cybersecurity is a huge market: Valued at $153 billion in 2020, it is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 12% to reach $366 billion by 2028, according to Fortune Business Insights.
The growth is bolstered by a high-profile challenge. The rise in cloud adoption and remote work has increased the attack surface, and massive data breaches have become regular news. Companies deploy battalions of point solutions, but rules-based engines that set out to identify and stop the bad guys weren’t created to monitor trillions of data points dispersed across hybrid environments.

Compute functions have rights. That’s good when it comes to running a business operation, but it can be bad for security if those rights aren’t handled correctly.
For Sonrai Security Inc. that means a process of reinvention, an opportunity to create new security solutions based on the rights assigned for three key control points in the cloud: identity, data and applications.
“You get to start from scratch, and when you do it, you can deliver a level of granularity and control and security that is unimaginable in a traditional enterprise network and datacenter,” said Brendan Hannigan (pictured), chief executive officer of Sonrai. “We can see and understand the significance of inventions like AWS. The opportunity, which is a ‘must take’ opportunity, is reinventing security from top to bottom.”

Researchers from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering and Medical School have developed a unique head-mounted mini-microscope device that allows them to image complex brain functions of freely moving mice in real time over a period of more than 300 days.
The device, known as the mini-MScope, offers an important new tool for studying how neural activity from multiple regions of the outer part of the brain, called the cortex, contribute to behavior, cognition and perception. The groundbreaking study provides new insight into fundamental research that could improve human brain conditions such as concussions, autism, Alzheimer s, and Pa
