2nd India CGT Symposium 2024

Bio-Rad invites you to our 2nd India Cell Gene Therapy Symposium 2024 After many decades of effort, the future of cell and gene therapies (CGT) is incredibly promising. A flurry of recent successes has led to the approval of several life changing treatments for patients and many more therapies are in development. CGT seek to correct the root cause of an illness at the molecular level. These game changing medicines are reshaping how we address previously uncurable illnesses — transforming people’s lives.

The World’s Rarest Mineral Is So Rare It’s Only Ever Been Found Once

There’s a mineral so rare that only one specimen of it has ever been found in the entire world.

It’s called kyawthuite (cha-too-ite), a tiny, tawny-hued grain weighing just a third of a gram (1.61 carats). On first glance, you might mistaken it for amber or topaz; but the unassuming mineral speck has value beyond measure.

The stone itself was purchased in 2010 at a market in Chaung-gyi in Myanmar by gemologist Kyaw Thu, who thought the raw gem was a mineral called scheelite. After he faceted the stone, though, he realized that he was looking at something unusual.
