Pray will lead the day-to-day operations at Medidata, and will work closely with Daloz to build a complete solution set serving the life sciences industry at large.

“Customers are asking to do more with Medidata, and we are evolving to meet their digital transformation needs,” said Pascal Daloz, Medidata CEO. “Building on the strong foundation that has been set over the last twenty years, we will continue to pioneer unmatched solutions across the life sciences lifecycle. We are extremely committed to this industry and will continue investing to achieve the vision that includes prevention to precision medicine and discovery to distribution, in order to be at the center of every patient journey.”

One Biosciences Announces Data Validating New Method for Single-Cell Transcriptomic Tumor Profiling from Clinical Pathology Samples30.7.2026 22:03:00 EEST | Press release

One Biosciences, a techbio company pioneering clinical-grade single-cell tumor profiling, today announced data establishing that single-cell RNA expression profiles can be generated from the standard, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) pathology specimens obtained in routine cancer care using the company’s proprietary platform, OneMap™. The study, conducted with collaborators at Centre Léon Bérard, Hôpital Bichat–Claude Bernard, Institut Curie, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, was released as a preprint on BiorXiv. “Every tumor is a unique ecosystem of many different types of cells, some cancerous, some not. Single cell profiling enables us to understand what those cells are, what they’re doing and potentially how that may impact treatment outcomes,” said Helena Yu, MD, thoracic medical oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. “Until now that type of analysis required different types of samples and workflows than we deploy in clinical care.

ARIS Recognized as a Leader in First Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Digital Twin of an Organization Platforms, Believes This Reinforces Need for Trusted Governance and Control of Enterprise AI30.7.2026 19:00:00 EEST | Press release

ARIS, the process context platform enabling enterprise AI deployment, today announced its recognition as a Leader in the inaugural Gartner Magic Quadrant for Digital Twin of An Organization (DTO) Platforms – where it believes agentic AI, autonomous workflows, and enterprise governance converge. As enterprises move from AI experimentation to autonomous agent deployment, a critical challenge emerges: how do you safely scale autonomous AI when the enterprise lacks a unified digital twin – a single source of truth for processes, data, governance, and outcomes? Gartner describes the DTO as a dynamic software model that relies on operational and contextual data to understand how an organization operationalizes its business model, connects with its current state, responds to changes, deploys resources, simulates future states and delivers customer value. "Enterprises are rightfully ambitious about agentic AI and autonomous workflows," said Guillaume Bacuvier, CEO of ARIS. "But they're discove
