Cellebrite Enhances Guardian with Faster, First-to-Market Evidence Review Capabilities

The enhanced Cellebrite investigative evidence management solution further accelerates time to evidence, reduces backlogs, and empowers agencies to utilize resources more efficiently

PETAH TIKVA, Israel and TYSONS CORNER, Va., Oct. 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cellebrite DI Ltd. (Nasdaq: CLBT), a global leader in Digital Intelligence (DI) solutions for the public and private sectors, today announced the release of the next generation of Cellebrite Guardian, which provides quicker time to evidence (TTE) as it loads evidence within just seconds of receipt and further simplifies workflows to accelerate time to justice.

The latest enhancements create increased flexibility for law enforcement and help them secure privacy as they are able to harness the power of the solution to simplify and streamline end-to-end processes and key pain points in the investigative workflow, including physical duplication, transportation of evidence, and time-consuming evidence review.

We expect Cellebrite Guardian will accelerate TTE by more than 5 times compared to traditional methods1, enabling agencies to go from collection to collaboration in 2 hours (total time spent on case) compared to the current average TTE of 11 hours. Cellebrite Guardian also allows agencies to use their resources more efficiently.

Without the restraints of limited duration of storage and access to extractions, Cellebrite Guardian puts the customer at the center, allowing them to better address numerous evidence management challenges no matter how big the case or how long it takes.

Upper Allen Township Police Department Lieutenant Brian Barnes stated, “One person solving the case just isn’t the reality anymore. Modern investigations require team members from multiple disciplines, effectively collaborating, to bring justice to a victim. Often these cases involve digital evidence. Cellebrite Guardian is not only managing the critical relationship between investigator and examiner, but also ensuring that digital intelligence is immediately actionable regardless of hardware or skillset. Investigators reviewing phone extractions in a web browser, and quickly providing access to prosecutors via the cloud for instant review, forever changes the inefficient paradigm of yesterday.”

“The faster review capabilities for Cellebrite Guardian are critical for accelerating the time to justice in any investigation,” said Todd Bailey, Vice President and Head of Investigation and Evidence Management Solutions at Cellebrite. “Previously, Guardian had transformed hours of manual review processes into minutes. With our latest release, we have sped up those minutes into mere seconds. This speed, in combination with Guardian’s inbuilt flexibility, enables any agency to resolve cases faster.”

LambdaTest launches Voices of Community, a monthly talk with testing and QA experts from across the globe

Leading experts will shed light on topics in the QA space that are close to their hearts

San Francisco, Oct. 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LambdaTest, the leading continuous quality testing cloud platform, announced the launch of Voices of Community, a monthly talk with testing and QA experts from across the globe.

The once-in-a-month free live webinar is hosted by Manoj Kumar, VP – Developer Relations, LambdaTest. Through Voices of Community, the organization hopes to bring experts together to talk about the lessons from the past, discuss the present scenario, and talk about where the industry is headed.

“The community is at the center of everything we do at LambdaTest. Voices of Community will bring community experts to talk on topics that they hold close to their hearts. These are people who have built the platforms and tools we use day in and day out at our jobs. We can’t wait for the community to soak in all the learning,” said Manoj Kumar. Manoj is also a member of the project leadership committee for Selenium and an Appium committer.

In the first episode of Voices of Community, John Ferguson Smart, the author of the best-seller, BDD in Action, as well as Jenkins: The Definitive Guide and Java Power Tools and the creator of the Serenity BDD test automation framework joined Manoj. In the upcoming episode, the renowned testing icon and creator of Selenium WebDriver, Simon Stewart, will be joining in as the guest speaker.

“One thing that I learnt while working on Selenium is that community is the biggest factor for a project’s success. More importantly, I learnt that community is also one of the biggest factors for personal success. Being able to listen and learn from other people’s experience, applying lessons from their insights, learning about what works and what doesn’t, and finding out about the trends in our industry helps us grow as developers and testers. That’s why I’m excited to be part of “Voices of Community” by LambdaTest. I hope that you enjoy and learn from what this initiative will offer the testing community. Wishing them — and you! — every success and the best of luck! Onwards and upwards!,” said Simon Stewart, Creator, Selenium WebDriver.

“The testing and developer landscape is always in a state of flux. Being a QA in today’s digital-led world means that one has to reinvent themselves constantly. The community plays a vital role as people from different walks of life can influence and nudge you to stay constantly updated. Voices of Community by LambdaTest is a great initiative that will bring experts from within the community to share the lessons from the past, discuss the present scenario, and talk about where the industry is headed,” said John Ferguson Smart, Creator, BDD Serenity.

NEW RESEARCH: Governments Can Support Better Access, More Efficient Healthcare Through Promotion of Self-Care

Call for a WHO Resolution to kick-start necessary action

CAPE TOWN, South Africa, Oct. 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Global Self-Care Federation (GSCF) has today launched the second edition of the Self-Care Readiness Index, examining how self-care policies are being implemented across the world. The first and second editions of the Index, together covering 20 countries, demonstrate very clearly that there is a widespread lack of a coherent view of self-care and its benefits.

Malebona Precious Matsoso,  Former Director General of the Department of Health, South Africa said: “Taking collective action to integrate self-care into the global healthcare continuum is the logical and critical next step as we move to re-evaluate the status of our healthcare systems. To support this, there needs to be a global compact on self-care at the international level, this will provide a frame for national-level policymakers to operate within.”

The Self-Care Readiness Index (SCRI) is a research and policymaking tool which explores the key enablers of self-care in support of designing a better model for healthcare systems. It evaluates countries based on four self-care enablers, supported by measurable indicators of self-care readiness. The four enablers are stakeholder support and adoption; consumer and patient empowerment; comprehensive self-care health policies; and the appropriate regulatory environment.

Manoj Raghunandanan, Chair Elect at the Global Self-Care Federation said, “Self-care is a simple concept but it is not easy. It takes a concerted effort by governments, healthcare professionals, academia, industry, and ultimately, the population at large. But the potential rewards are high: better patient outcomes, more efficient healthcare systems and improved access to care.”

Raghunandanan continued, “This research is clear: self-care is highly effective and efficient. In developed countries, empowering people to care for their own health reduces pressure on healthcare systems. And it is critical for low- and middle-income countries, where self-care can be an incredibly important tool for delivering the goal of universal health coverage, and may actually be the only healthcare option available.”

The second edition of the SCRI covered Australia, Canada, Colombia, Germany, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Mexico, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates. This complemented the countries covered in the first edition: Brazil, China, Egypt, France, Nigeria, Poland, South Africa, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Judy Stenmark, Director General at GSCF continued, “Self-care has to be a political priority for every single government across the world. And we are calling on WHO to urgently adopt a Resolution to support the synchronisation of self-care policies to create the momentum for this much-needed change.”

The new SCRI is available here. It is a wide-ranging and comprehensive report, covering in detail the four enablers and the extent of self-care penetration in each of the 10 countries. It is the result of thorough research into each country’s healthcare system, led by GSCF and in collaboration with the World Health Organization’s Traditional, Complementary, and Integrative Medicines and Integrated Health Services Unit, with the support of the eminent healthcare professionals who made up the Expert Advisory Committee.

Nucleome Therapeutics raises oversubscribed £37.5 million Series A financing to decode the dark matter of the human genome and deliver first-in-class precision medicines

Nucleome Therapeutics raises oversubscribed £37.5 million Series A financing to decode the dark matter of the human genome and deliver firstinclass precision medicines

  • Financing led by M Ventures alongside other new investors JJDC, Pfizer Ventures and British Patient Capital, and including founding investor Oxford Science Enterprises
  • Nucleome’s pioneering platform seeks to identify direct genetic linkages to disease-associated genes for drug discovery
  • Funds will advance Nucleome’s autoimmune disease programmes and fuel expansion of its dark genome atlas

Oxford, UK, 19 October 2022 – Nucleome Therapeutics Limited, (‘Nucleome’ or ‘the Company’), a biotechnology company decoding the dark matter of the human genome to discover first-in-class precision medicines, today announces it has closed an oversubscribed £37.5 million Series A financing round. The funds will be used to advance the Company’s autoimmune disease programmes, fuel expansion of its dark genome atlas and further develop its pioneering platform.

The financing was led by new investor M Ventures, the strategic, corporate venture capital arm of Merck KGaA, with participation from Johnson and Johnson Innovation-JJDC, Inc. (“JJDC”), the strategic venture capital arm of Johnson & Johnson; Pfizer Ventures, the venture group of Pfizer; British Patient Capital, through its Future Fund: Breakthrough programme; and founding investor Oxford Science Enterprises.

Nucleome has the unique ability to discover and validate first-in-class targets through genetics, by investigating the ‘dark’ region of the human genome, which does not encode for proteins but contains 90% of disease-associated genetic changes. Understanding the role of these genetic variants has been a long-standing challenge, hindering the translation of the human genome into useful drug discovery insights.

Nucleome’s breakthrough platform combines pioneering 3D genome technology and machine learning to shed light on these variants by directly linking genes to diseases and mapping pathways with unprecedented precision for drug discovery.

“We have already made significant progress by mapping genes to genetics in a number of human immune cell types and discovering the first wave of potential first-in-class autoimmune disease targets,” said Dr Danuta Jeziorska, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of Nucleome Therapeutics.  “The completion of this oversubscribed round with such a high-calibre group of global life science investors is a recognition of the significance of Nucleome’s platform and its potential to support the development of an exciting portfolio of first-in-class targets for autoimmune diseases.”

Dr Bauke Anninga, Principal at M Ventures, commented: “Nucleome’s differentiated platform technology has the potential to fundamentally shift the way we discover and develop precision medicines. Unlocking the value of the largely unexplored territory of the genome can lead to the identification of high-value drug targets. Nucleome’s platform adds 3D genomic information to a wealth of available genomic data, uncovering a new dimension of information that is disease as well as cell type-specific. We are excited to lead this financing, and alongside our co-investors, partner with Nucleome’s exceptional team to advance their target and drug discovery programmes to bring transformative treatments to patients.”

Dr Jonathan Hepple, Non-executive Director at Nucleome and Advisor to Oxford Science Enterprises, added: “Since its founding in 2019, Nucleome has advanced to become a leader in 3D genomics analysis. Publications in high-impact journals have validated its groundbreaking technology and ability to identify new drug targets where other technologies fall short. With a highly experienced team, this fundraising, backed by an impressive syndicate of world-class investors, will allow Nucleome to explore the dark genome and develop its exciting pipeline of potential drug targets. Oxford Science Enterprises is proud to have supported the Company since its inception and continues to do so, and we look forward to working with the team through this exciting time of growth.”

Unhealthy Diets Are Jeopardising Our Health

New cost-effective tool for monitoring diets uses data from 41 countries to show vast gaps in diets

Geneva, Oct. 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Gallup, Harvard University, and the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) have today published a new report on diet quality entitled Measuring What the World Eats. It is the first report from the Global Diet Quality Project, with data based on the Diet Quality Questionnaire (DQQ), a standard questionnaire which takes just five minutes to complete. It is a new, rapid, cost-effective method for accurately tracking data about diets and diet adequacy across the world. And the data is actionable and tailored for each country. It can be used to inform how to improve diets.

Diet is a central component of health and wellbeing. However, nearly 90% of countries experience a high level of at least two forms of malnutrition due in part to poor diets, leading to long-term health issues, including nutrient deficiencies and noncommunicable diseases. Food systems that produce our diets also have a large impact on the environment. The result is that unhealthy diets cost an estimated $3.5 trillion per year globally.

Andrew Rzepa, Gallup Partner said, “We all need better diets. But how do we make that happen? The DQQ is game changing: it gives us the detailed information we need to look at diet quality issues at a granular level, meaning we have the data to design interventions that can make a real difference. After all, we can only manage what we can measure.”

“The first step to solving a problem is describing it clearly. We knew that diets can be unhealthy in many different ways – these results put data behind it. No country, at no income level, is immune to the effects of unhealthy diets,” added Anna Herforth, principal investigator of the project at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

The DQQ results provide country-level data that can also be disaggregated by gender, age, urban or rural locality, and socioeconomic indicators. The data underlying this first report were collected in 41 countries, representing two thirds of the world’s population. In more than half of these countries, this was the first nationally representative dietary survey in adults ever done. The DQQ is planned to be administered to 140 countries in the future.

Key insights from the data:

  • The majority of the people worldwide are not consuming diets that would even minimally adhere to dietary guidelines. This is typically worse in rural areas in low- and middle-income countries.
  • Men and urban residents consume more unhealthy foods and fewer foods that protect their health. This pattern is driven by higher consumption of soft drinks, processed meats, and deep-fried foods among men than women and among urban residents than rural residents.
  • Populations that consume more healthy foods also tend to consume more unhealthy foods. This means that all populations are at high risk for diet-related noncommunicable diseases.
  • In many low- and middle-income countries the majority of women are not getting the diverse diets they need, increasing their risk for vitamin and mineral deficiencies and related health issues. The problem is higher in rural areas and among poorer women.

Lawrence Haddad, GAIN’s Executive Director said, “It is particularly important that we understand what is happening to diets in low- and middle-income countries in Africa and Asia. With this fast, cheap, accurate measurement tool, we can now track progress. The richness of this new data means we can work with governments, the food industry, and other NGOs to build tailored strategies to improve dietary diversity, fortification, and supplementation. This is essential to reduce undernutrition and diet-related noncommunicable diseases and their widespread consequences.”

The DQQ examined six core diet quality indicators:

  1. Micronutrient adequacy
  2. Food group adequacy
  3. Dietary factors protective against noncommunicable diseases
  4. Risk factors for noncommunicable diseases
  5. Consumption of no fruits or vegetables
  6. Consumption of sugar-sweetened soft drinks

Each country was given a score for each indicator.

The 41 countries included in this first report are:

Bangladesh, Benin, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Cameroon, Chile, China, Colombia, Ecuador, Egypt, Gabon, Ghana, Greece, India, Indonesia, Israel, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Laos, Lebanon, Mexico, Morocco, Mozambique, Nepal, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Russia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Turkey, Uganda, United States of America, and Viet Nam.
