Research commissioned by Roche has revealed that half of respondents across 12 countries in Latin America and Europe have little or no awareness of the role human papillomavirus (HPV) plays in cervical cancer. The study, conducted by GWI, shows a significant knowledge gap, despite HPV being responsible for over 99% of cervical cancer cases globally. HPV is a common sexually transmitted virus and the leading cause of cervical cancer, which affects more than 600,000 women each year, resulting in over 340,000 deaths. Most of these cases occur in low-resource countries, where access to healthcare is limited. The World Health Organization…

Hansa Biopharma AB has announced promising results from a 12-month follow-up analysis of its investigational drug, HNSA-5487, as part of the NICE-01 trial. The drug is designed to cleave immunoglobulin G (IgG), a key antibody linked to several autoimmune diseases.

Twelve months later, the follow-up analysis confirmed that IgG levels returned to normal six months post-dosing. These findings mirror the results seen with Hansa’s first-generation IgG-cleaving enzyme, imlifidase. No serious side effects were reported during the trial, with…
In the world of leadership, effective communication often transcends traditional task-based approaches, a notion brought to light by executive coach Sarah Langslow in her new book, Do Sweat The Small Stuff. This practical handbook delves into the crucial role of micro-interactions in shaping relationships and enhancing leadership effectiveness. Langslow argues that while meeting organisational goals is essential, it is the everyday interactions between leaders and their teams that ultimately drive individual and collective performance. She emphasises that leaders who overlook these daily exchanges may struggle to cultivate the trust and engagement needed for both task completion and broader strategic changes.…

The six-month coaching program, named ‘Woman Up’, is designed to help women break through barriers in sectors where they remain underrepresented, such as tech, finance, and engineering.

In the tech sector, women make up 26% of the workforce, while in engineering and…
