HCPC renewal window for Biomedical Scientists opens

👋 Meet Simon. He was already working at the level of a biomedical scientist, but without HCPC registration, he couldn’t use the protected title. That’s when he found the IBMS Certificate of Competence by Equivalence. This portfolio-based route recognises professional experience and academic qualifications, confirming that you meet the HCPC standards of proficiency. Once complete, it provides a pathway to apply for HCPC registration. 🎥 Watch Simon share his unconventional journey to HCPC registration and how the IBMS Equivalence Route helped him take the final step. 👉 Find out more: https://bit.ly/4p779hH

📢New article alert from the Journal of Comparative Effectiveness Research   I'm pleased to share the latest Methodology article from JCER: "Optimizing clinical scientific research: the cohort intervention random sampling study with historical controls".   This paper introduces the CIRSS with historical controls – a design aiming to retain RCT-level validity while enabling large-scale, real-world implementation.   🔗 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eHvNPN-D   Authors: Nadine de Klerk, Phebe Berben, Myrthe van der Ven, Annemarie Fransen, Beatrijs van der Hout, Guid Oei, Judith van Laar & Edwin van den Heuvel   #OpenAccess #JCER #RCT #ClinicalTrials #StudyDesign #CIRSS #Methodology #ImplementationScience #RealWorldEvidence

Our city is rapidly emerging as a hub for biomedical research, clinical innovation and surgical education — so it’s fitting that Mayor Vi Lyles has proclaimed Sept. 15-19 Charlotte Life Sciences Week. This week showcases Charlotte’s growing life sciences ecosystem. Events include: 🔬 The Biomedical Sciences Symposium at UNC Charlotte 🧬 North Carolina Biotechnology Center (NCBiotech) #NCBiotechSummit2025, a statewide conference, on Thursday ⚕️ The grand opening of IRCAD North America With the opening of The Pearl CLT Innovation District, the opening of Wake Forest University School of Medicine Charlotte and University of North Carolina at Charlotte's rapid rise as a top-tier research university, Charlotte is fast becoming a powerhouse in the national life sciences landscape.

Dr. Karen Kruger, research associate professor in the Marquette University and Medical College of Wisconsin Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering, has received an R01 grant from the National Institutes of Health with an anticipated value of $3.2 million to complete a comprehensive study of the 3D structure and function of pediatric flat feet throughout growth and development. https://buff.ly/OBqUaV1

ME Research UK and the ME Association are excited to announce second-phase funding to advance the development of a diagnostic test for ME/CFS. The new grant has been awarded to Dr Fatima Labeed and Dr Jacqueline Cliff, with the research taking place at Brunel University of London. This next phase will refine and expand on their initial study exploring electrical differences in blood cells from people with ME/CFS. The investigators plan to test a larger cohort, improve the preparation and processing of samples, and investigate the biological basis of the electrical changes, with the aim of moving closer to a reliable and low-cost diagnostic test.

The Journal of Applied Labor Laboratory Medicine recently published the results of a rigorous study comparing capillary blood tests to conventional methods. The study found that capillary blood is suitable for routine lab tests, making blood testing more accessible.   We were proud to be featured on the cover of their September 2025 issue!

This is a significant milestone for Babson Diagnostics and its key partners -- BD (Beckton Dickinson & Company) and Siemens Healthineers -- who have spent nearly a decade proving that patient-friendly fingertip blood testing (which has earned a 79 NPS) can produce clinically accurate results across a broad menu of routine tests. It is a testament to the vision, persistence, and scientific rigor of all involved, and I am proud to be helping to bring this amazing technology to patients through provider organizations, retail pharmacies, and employers nationwide.

New post on ResToRes Research integrity in biomedical research's website covering the super cool SHARE-CTD project. "A New Hope: SHARE-CTD trilogy concludes with data reuse" The SHARE-CTD project concludes its "trilogy" with a hands-on guide to clinical trial data reuse. In this final chapter, Giulia Varvarà et al. introduce the S.Y.M.B.I.O.N.T.S. principles to support responsible and effective data reuse. https://lnkd.in/evsKWJym
