The Nantes-based company said the TEDOVA/GINECO-OV244b/ENGOT-ov58 trial met its primary endpoint in patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer who had progressed after, or were ineligible for, PARP inhibitors and bevacizumab.

The year was 2022. Chris Norn, PhD, was wrapping up his time as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Protein Design (IPD) at University of Washington (UW). AlphaFold was taking the field by storm, while a new generation of deep learning tools was rapidly advancing de novo, or from-scratch, protein design with unprecedented success rates validated at atomic resolution. Within just a few years, these AI breakthroughs,  widespread applications across  pharmaceuticals, nanomaterials, biosensors, and more,  would help earn Norn’s mentor, David Baker, PhD, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.   

By eliminating the need for additional displays, controllers, or complex setup, the Z-Row system helps operators stay focused during a demanding time of the year. “Harvest is one of the most complex operations on the farm, requiring operators to manage machine performance, grain quality, logistics, and more all at once,” said Andrew Pierce, product sales specialist at Ag Leader. “Z-Row reduces that complexity by integrating row guidance into a single, intuitive interface, enabling operators to focus on what matters most.”
