SoftServe Wins UN Partnership for Sustainability Award 2020 Competition
SoftServe, a leading digital authority and consulting company, took first place in the “Society” category at the Partnership for Sustainability Award 2020 competition hosted by the United Nations (UN) Global Compact Network in Ukraine. SoftServe received this award for its ‘Accessibility Testing’ project, designed for teaching and hiring the visually impaired to become specialists in digital accessibility testing of the company’s technological solutions.
The Partnership for Sustainability Award 2020 competition aims to promote sustainable development goals and partnerships between enterprises, business associations, governments, civil society, and universities. This year’s competition featured over 150 applications from Ukraine, Belarus, Macedonia, Poland, and Turkey across project nomination categories including Society, Planet, Peace, and Economic Development.
“We are committed to providing a diverse and inclusive work environment while striving to make our solutions more user-friendly for everyone,” said Viktoriya Shyryayeva, QC engineer and coordinator of the Accessibility Testing group at SoftServe. “By involving those who are visually impaired in the development and testing of our IT solutions we can offer a more comprehensive accessibility testing process for people with disabilities. Recognition from the UN Global Compact Network is a testament to the strides we have made in creating a healthy, open, and inclusive working environment where associates are respected and valued for their contributions and are provided career development and growth opportunities.”
SoftServe’s IT Academy, an educational platform for students and professionals beginning a career in IT, adapted materials from its ‘Accessibility Testing’ project into a two-month course featuring lectures for students and hands-on experience related to accessibility testing. Graduates of the course are able to add immediate value to any project that requires regression and accessibility testing. Recent graduates of the program have been employed by SoftServe to work on various client projects where they use their course knowledge to develop inclusive, user friendly solutions. This project supports the United Nations Development Program’s (UNDP) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for Quality Education, Decent Work and Economic Growth, and Reduced Inequalities.

Redefining Acromegaly Care: First Patient Randomized in Debiopharm’s Phase III OXTEND-03™ Trial of 3-Month Debio 4126 Treatment4.12.2025 15:00:00 EET | Press release
Debiopharm (www.debiopharm.com), a privately-owned, Swiss-based biopharmaceutical company committed to establishing tomorrow’s standards of care in oncology and rare diseases, today announced that the first patient has been randomized in the OXTEND-03™ clinical trial. This pivotal Phase III trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Debio 4126, a novel long-acting octreotide formulation and the first potential 3-month somatostatin analogue (SSA), in adults with acromegaly who are currently maintained on somatostatin analogs. OXTEND-03™ is a global trial spanning approximately 75 sites across 21 countries, aiming to enroll around 120 patients. The primary goal of the trial is to confirm Debio 4126’s ability to maintain biochemical control of the disease while significantly reducing the patient’s annual treatment burden from 12 injections to just 4. This shift is expected to enhance patient convenience, improve long-term adherence, and potentially decrease healthcare resour

Parse Biosciences Launches Evercode Whole Blood Fixation4.12.2025 15:00:00 EET | Press release
Parse Biosciences, a leading provider of accessible and scalable single cell sequencing solutions, today announced the launch of Evercode™ Whole Blood Fixation, a new kit that enables immediate fixation of whole blood directly at the point of collection. The technology eliminates the need for on-site PBMC isolation, specialized equipment, or trained personnel, allowing translational hematology and pharmaceutical research teams to seamlessly collect blood samples in real-world clinical settings for downstream single cell analysis. Traditional single cell RNA profiling workflows done in a translational setting require a compromise between processing fresh samples, which degrade rapidly and demand skilled handling, and using fixation approaches that capture only a partial transcriptome and cannot provide paired TCR sequences. Fresh PBMC isolation also requires complex workflows and specialized reagents. Evercode Whole Blood Fixation overcomes these limitations, preserving the comprehensiv
