JOB OPPORTUNITY! Are you the person that is always helping design and troubleshoot experiments for others as well as yourself? Or like to know how the instrument that is doing all your measurements works? Then being a Technical Services Scientist may be the role for you! We have an opening in the Promega UK team and I’d be happy to discuss the role with those in my network who are interested. PhD desirable, equivalent industrial experience also considered. DM if you'd like more details.

This was a great blog to be able to write. As a science writer I have been following and writing about PROTACs when they emerged as an area expertise for Promega R&D. It's nice to see the work of the scientific community reaching a place of maturity. The field has moved remarkably quickly.

FINAL BUZZER at #AAI2026 — TNF (fka TNF-α) is your Cytokine Playoff Champion! The apex node of the inflammatory cytokine network proved it's also the people's champ, showing broad influence in the cascade and on the court. IL-10 fought hard to restore balance, but even immunology's best peacekeeper couldn't cool TNF's rally. Thanks to everyone who stopped by the Promega Corporation booth to vote, talk science, and defend (/trash talk) the competitors. See you all next year!

Very excited about this Promega-Nimagen partnership in bringing MPS to global forensic labs!

Today, Promega announced a distribution agreement with NimaGen to bring their IDseek® MPS library prep kits to forensic laboratories worldwide. Let me tell you why this matters. For most of my career, the question in forensic DNA has been: when does MPS become routine casework, not just research? The honest answer has always been the same: when the workflow stops being a barrier. NimaGen's RC-PCR technology does something genuinely different. It collapses what has traditionally been a multi-step, error-prone library prep process into a single closed-tube reaction. The result is a workflow that forensic scientists will actually recognize - sensitive, specific, and designed around the realities of degraded and low-quantity samples. Through this agreement, Promega will distribute more than 20 products across seven IDseek product families - covering autosomal STR, Y-STR, SNP, microhaplotype, and mitochondrial DNA. That breadth matters. This isn't a niche add-on. It's a credible MPS portfolio sitting alongside the CE-based tools labs already depend on. What I'm most proud of is what this means for laboratories that have wanted to move toward MPS but couldn't justify the transition cost and complexity. You don't have to change suppliers, rebuild relationships, or start over. You can extend what you already have. The forensic community has earned the right to expect better tools. This is one of them. https://lnkd.in/grZAycmX #ForensicDNA #MPS #HumanIdentification #Promega #NimaGen #ForensicScience #GeneticIdentity

As I leave Promega Corporation today, I find myself reflecting on the last 8+ years, of which there are so many great memories. I’m so thankful for the experiences and opportunities, including visiting five new countries and modernizing the global endpoint management strategies and toolsets. I’m proud to have worked with so many talented people and built so many relationships that I sincerely hope will continue well into the future. Leaving such a place is bittersweet, but I’m excited to start my new chapter on Monday. I look forward to building new relationships, facing new challenges, and growing in ways I can’t yet anticipate - both personally and professionally. Stay tuned for the new adventure!
