Boston, Massachusetts, Sept. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  HYCU, Inc., the fastest growing data protection as a service company is taking a major first step as the digital world is on the brink of a catastrophe. As more companies increasingly rely on Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions, the looming SaaS data apocalypse is quickly emerging as the most significant threat to data in years. Today, Simon Taylor’s new book, Averting the SaaS Data Apocalypse,” is released to shine a light on this imminent digital threat and share real world examples of what can be done to avoid digital mayhem.

From the meteoric rise of the SaaS data apocalypse to deep dives into how leading organizations, including the Boston Red Sox, Zebra Technologies, Bain Capital, and LS Direct, have navigated these challenging waters, Taylor offers an unparalleled insight into the modern SaaS landscape.

In the book’s foreword, Enrique Salem, Partner at Bain Capital, an investor in HYCU, underscores the importance of Simon Taylor’s work, stating, “From the dawn of the digital era to the explosive growth of data and the intricacies of SaaS, our digital world is brimming with both opportunities and threats.

Curia Supports Replicate Bioscience’s Phase 1 Clinical Trial of Novel Next-Generation RNA Vaccine

Supply of drug substance manufactured under cGMP supports first-in-human clinical study for RBI-4000 novel self-replicating RNA (srRNA)

ALBANY, N.Y., Sept. 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Curia, a leading contract research, development and manufacturing organization, today announced that its partner, Replicate Bioscience, has received IND clearance from the FDA and has dosed the first participant with RBI-4000, a self-replicating (srRNA) rabies vaccine, in a Phase 1 clinical study utilizing clinical material developed as part of the collaboration with Curia.

Curia conducted process development, scale-up and cGMP manufacture of srRNA RBI-4000 drug substance. At approximately 10,000 bases, this srRNA is significantly larger than a conventional linear mRNA and has been historically difficult to manufacture at the scales required for clinical development. Curia’s analytical method development and qualification of the assays were also critical to the release of this srRNA molecule.

“Curia is proud to be a pioneer in manufacturing this new class of srRNA technology by delivering RBI-4000 srRNA drug substance to our partner Replicate in support of their Phase 1 clinical trial,” said Christopher Conway, President, Research & Development, Curia. “We are dedicated to providing advantaged solutions from development to cGMP manufacture for our customers in the mRNA field.”

This new class of srRNA vaccine offers a number of potential improvements to existing mRNA vaccines, including lower dosage requirements and improved tolerability. The advancement also opens the door for further RNA innovation for use in vaccines and therapeutics with fewer constraints on molecule size.

“Our collaboration with Curia helped us manufacture a new class of self-replicating RNAs which have the potential to deliver improved bioactivity, tolerability and efficacy profiles as compared to other RNA technologies,” said Nathaniel Wang, Ph.D., founder and CEO of Replicate. “Curia scaled up a process for longer RNAs that enabled large-scale production at yields, purity and potency to support Replicate’s Phase 1 clinical trial.”

Curia is committed to being a partner of choice from discovery and development through manufacture and commercialization, providing a full suite of services to support small and large molecule, drug substance, drug product aseptic fill-finish and laboratory testing at every phase of the drug development life cycle.

His Excellency Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, UAE Minister of State for Foreign Trade, expressed his enthusiasm for AIM Congress 2024, stating that, “For more than a decade, AIM Congress has been steadfast in its commitment to promote global economic cooperation and harness the potential of countries especially emerging markets. Amid the backdrop of the shifting global investment scene, it is all-important for countries to adapt and explore new avenues for growth. For its 2024 edition, AIM Congress will continue to be the leading venue where the world’s key economic stakeholders congregate to facilitate dialogue and pave the way for impactful investments that propel a brighter, better future for each and everyone.”

His Excellency Ahmed Jasim Al Zaabi, Chairman of ADDED, said: “Building on the remarkable success of AIM’s previous edition, we are raising the bar to meet the expectations of the global investment community. As the Capital of Capital, Abu Dhabi is leading global conversations on investments outlook and dynamics in an era characterised by mega shifts. Our approach to inward and outward investments is guided by our unwavering commitment to place human development, sustainability, and advanced technology at the core of socio-economic plans at local and international levels, support of ESG agendas, and enhance synergies through international cooperation to improve life for all.”

For his part, Dawood Al Shezawi, President of AIM Global Foundation, commented: “In the face of the various challenges confronting our world today, coupled with the continued decline in global economic growth, emerges the announcement of AIM’s new identity as AIM Congress, which positions itself as a premier venue for investment, providing the optimal platform for esteemed leaders and decision-makers around the world to collectively address our most pressing issues, reshape the global trade and investment landscape, and ultimately foster positive, enduring social and economic impacts in diverse regions worldwide.”

وتستضيف العاصمة أبوظبي للسنة الثانية على التوالي فعاليات قمة (AIM) للاستثمار بدعم من وزارة الصناعة والتكنولوجيا المتقدمة، ودائرة التنمية الاقتصادية – أبوظبي (الشريك الرئيسي)، بعد النجاح الباهر الذي حققته الدورة السابقة، باستقطاب 10313 مشاركاً من 175 دولة حول العالم، وشهدت 281 جلسة ضمت 693 متحدثاً.

 وتسعى القمة من خلال تنظيم باقة من الفعاليات والأنشطة المتنوعة، إلى توفير منصة مثالية تجمع نخبة القادة، والمسؤولين الحكوميين، وصنّاع القرار والسياسات، ورجال الأعمال، وكبار المستثمرين الإقليميين والدوليين، وكبريات الشركات والمنظمات العالمية، على مدار ثلاثة أيام لتسليط الضوء على المستجدات في المشهد الاستثماري العالمي، والخروج بحلول مبتكرة لمواجهة التحديات والمتغيرات الحالية والمستقبلية، وصولًا إلى اقتصاد عالمي مزدهر ومستدام.

وقال معالي الدكتور ثاني بن أحمد الزيودي، وزير دولة للتجارة الخارجية: “نجحت قمة (AIM) للاستثمار على مدار أكثر من عقد في تقديم منصة رائدة لصناع القرار وقادة الأعمال والمستثمرين والمسؤولين الحكوميين لمناقشة واستكشاف سبل جديدة لتعزيز التعاون الاقتصادي والاستثماري عالمياً.”

وأضاف معاليه إن استضافة مثل هذه الفعاليات الدولية المهمة تعزز المكانة الاستراتيجية لدولة الإمارات على خريطة الاستثمار العالمية بوصفها وجهة استثمارية مفضلة للاستثمارات الدولية الباحثة عن فرص للنمو والتوسع والازدهار، بالإضافة إلى كونها واحدة من أكبر الدول المستثمرة حول العالم، كما تتماشى مع توجهات دولة الإمارات الاستثمارية الرامية إلى المساهمة في تخطي التحديات الراهنة التي تواجه الاقتصاد العالمي، وتحقيق التنمية والازدهار والاستدامة في الدول المستقبلة للاستثمارات الإماراتية.
