Applying Safety Management System Principles for Lab Safety Excellence

Fracking doesn't just fuel power plants, it also provides raw materials to the petrochemical industry. Producing plastics and other petrochemical products is inherently toxic, polluting the environment and imposing public health risks on workers and the communities near the plants. The demand for these petrochemicals is so great that the plastics industry is now a driving force behind new fossil fuel extraction and infrastructure expansion.

Many leading oil & gas and utilities companies are pursuing digital transformation to drive operational excellence. Across exploration, refining, power generation and distribution, petrochemical and other energy sectors, leaders are focused on reducing costs, mitigating risks, maximizing return on assets and streamlining project management.

Learn how Protacs work for targeted protein degradation to widen the spectrum of targetable proteins Targeted protein degradation (TPD) is an emerging drug discovery strategy that allows access to difficult-to-treat diseases. While traditional small-molecule drugs may only allow access to ~20% of the proteome, degradation techniques may open the door to the other 80%. Proteolysis targeting chimeras (Protacs) are an attractive new means of protein degradation, and work catalytically at sub-stoichiometric levels over an extended length of time. These tools have the potential to widen the spectrum of targetable proteins, including proteins that have proven intractable to traditional approaches.

Due to global warming endangering our planet and growing cost of energy, the thermal insulation materials are gaining more and more importance.
