CARLSBAD, Calif., May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Pictor, a global leader in multiplex proteomics solutions, is excited to announce the establishment of its U.S. headquarters in Carlsbad, California, marking a significant milestone in its strategic growth and commitment to advancing cutting-edge solutions for laboratories worldwide. This transformation solidifies Pictor Holdings Inc. as the parent company, which will continue to proudly operate its subsidiaries in New Zealand, India, and Australia.

Pictor launches its U.S. operations with strong financial backing, having secured $5 million in seed funding—$3 million from its existing lead investors and $2 million from new U.S.-based investors. This investment underscores the confidence in Pictor’s platform and positions the company for rapid growth in the U.S. market.

This announcement follows a landmark decision by a U.S. federal court, which struck down the FDA’s plan to regulate laboratory-developed tests (LDTs). The court ruling reinforces the current regulatory framework under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), providing stability in the clinical industry by alleviating potentially costly operational burdens that new regulations would have imposed.

“The recent ruling ensures a clear delineation of responsibilities between CLIA and the FDA, providing solution providers like Pictor the certainty needed to equip our partners with an innovative and cost-effective platform,” said Jamie Platt, CEO of Pictor Holdings Inc. “This proven regulatory landscape aligns with our ability to offer efficient, affordable proteomics tools to laboratories and healthcare providers, ensuring accessibility for all.”

Pictor’s products, designed for clinical laboratory use, are poised to help laboratories capitalize on this new era of opportunity. Through its highly flexible, scalable, and cost-effective multiplex proteomics platform, Pictor enables labs to not only develop their own LDTs but also improve workflow efficiency to meet growing demands.

Key advantages of the Pictor platform include:

• Price: Affordable testing made possible through its low-cost PictImager™ platform, standard detection reagents, and under $50 per sample consumable costs.
• Performance: High-throughput testing achieved with the PictArray™ assays and rapid imaging, with results for 96 samples under four hours.
• Productivity: A flexible solution adaptable to various sample types and capable of running up to 50 analytes per test.

Meeting the Needs of a Changing Healthcare Landscape
Anticipated reductions in CMS and Medicare spending are accelerating demand for affordable, accessible testing solutions. Pictor is uniquely positioned to meet this need with its streamlined, scalable platform that delivers unmatched price, performance, and productivity across clinical and research applications. By lowering cost barriers for clinical labs and expanding access to underserved communities, Pictor is advancing its mission to make high-quality proteomics broadly accessible in a shifting healthcare environment.

“As the founder and CEO of Mira Precision Health, I have been deeply impressed by Pictor’s technology,” said Sandra Gunselman, Ph.D. “The platform’s flexibility allows us to respond quickly and cost-effectively to healthcare demands. Its speed, affordability, and scalability make it invaluable in advancing innovative diagnostics, particularly for underserved communities.”

Leadership and Website Launch
Pictor’s continued momentum is also marked by the announcement of a new Board of Directors, led by Chair Paul Kinnon, CEO Jamie Platt, and seasoned investor executive, Marko Bogoievski. Complementing this strategic leadership, Pictor has also introduced a robust executive team, including Kate Rhodes (COO), Janine McMurdie (CCO), Yoichi Furuya (CSO),and Claire Zimmerman (Director of Business Operations).

Coinciding with this announcement is the launch of Pictor’s redesigned website. Designed with customer-centricity in mind, the website showcases Pictor’s comprehensive testing solutions.

BEIJING, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — China Center for International Communication Development (CCCID) issued a press release here on Thursday to promote the Suzhou Day event held at the China Pavilion of Expo 2025 Osaka.

The press release said the event, officially opening Thursday on the artificial island of “Yumeshima,” showcased the timeless charm of the ancient water town under the theme “Aquatic Suzhou: Everlasting Vitality.”

According to the press release, Intangible Culture heritage (ICH) took center stage throughout Suzhou Day, serving as a cultural bridge between China and Japan. The afternoon’s performances—Kunqu opera, guqin melodies, Pingtan storytelling, and Suzhou embroidery—drew a full house at the China Pavilion’s multifunctional hall, with a Peony Pavilion excerpt earning particular acclaim.

Multiple exhibition zones immersed visitors in Suzhou’s artistic wonders included the ground’s, a Suzhou embroidery rendition of Along the River During the Qingming Festival blended classical and freehand needlework for striking depth, and the Mantis Cat, a dual-sided embroidery masterpiece, amazed viewers with its illusion-like color shift, added the press release.

The mezzanine displayed artifacts like the Hundred-Children Robe, kesi kimono belts, and Suzhou fans—each a testament to artisan craftsmanship.

Suzhou is not only a cultural gem but also a hub of international collaboration. In 1984, Japan’s Sowani Group established Suzhou’s first Sino-foreign joint venture. Today, the city hosts 19,000 foreign enterprises, including 493 projects by 178 Fortune Global 500 companies. Japan ranks as Suzhou’s third-largest foreign investor, with over 1,400 Japanese companies operating in the city.

At the opening ceremony, 216 Japanese dignitaries from government, trade, and business sectors witnessed Suzhou’s commitment to deeper ties. New partnerships were unveiled, including agreements between Nara Prefecture’s Japan-China Friendship Association and Suzhou’s Rian Education Group, as well as between Chinese and Japanese diaspora associations.

Aligned with the Osaka Expo’s theme—”Designing Future Society for Our Lives”—Suzhou presented its carbon-inclusive service system, a platform aiding SMEs and individuals in carbon reduction. Covering everything from paper production to corporate carbon neutrality, the system offers “verification, reduction, trading, and certification” in one chain, already applied in manufacturing, events, and operations. The event also released insights on “Decoding Suzhou’s Green Path to Carbon Neutrality.”

Through cultural allure and sustainable innovation, Suzhou Day at Expo 2025 Osaka became a vibrant celebration of shared heritage and forward-looking collaboration, said the press release.

PARIS, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, witnessed the signing of an agreement to digitise UNESCO’s global archive with a $6 million grant from the Sharjah Book Authority.

Agreement Signed Officially

The agreement was signed by Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi, Chairperson of the Sharjah Book Authority (SBA), and Jennifer Linkins, Assistant Director-General for Administration and Management at UNESCO. The project, based on directives from the Ruler of Sharjah, aims to preserve global heritage, protect important documents, and ensure digital accessibility. It will span five years and include the digitisation of books, manuscripts, audio recordings, documentaries, and various archival materials.

Archive Tour Conducted

His Highness conducted a tour of the UNESCO Library and Archive, examining significant collections including global documents, books, and manuscripts. He was also informed about the essential functions of the library in supporting the organisation’s objectives and utilising its cultural.

Preservation Importance Highlighted

During the visit, His Highness viewed a number of aging historical documents, some of which had been impacted by deteriorating conditions. This emphasised the importance of the digitisation agreement.

A Comprehensive Historical Archive

The UNESCO archive stands as one of the largest and most important institutional archives globally, which includes nearly 80 years of historical records. The collection features more than 2.5 million pages of documents, 165,000 rare photographs, and thousands of hours of audio and video recordings, These materials capture pivotal moments in global cultural and educational history.

Digitisation Urgently Needed

This underscores the critical necessity for assistance to expedite comprehensive digital transformation and protect the archive.

Sharjah’s Strategic Initiative

Approximately 95% of the archive remains undigitised, making Sharjah’s initiative a significant move towards converting this global legacy into accessible digital content for researchers, academic institutions, and cultural communities around the world.

Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi remarked, “This grant exemplifies Sharjah’s commitment to preserving human heritage and protecting the world’s memory, highlighting knowledge as a fundamental element of sustainable human development. UNESCO’s global archive stands as a vital centre for the preservation of heritage, intellect, education, and culture, emphasising that its preserving is a shared moral responsibility.”

Knowledge Access Promoted

Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi stated, “Sharjah has always held the belief that access to knowledge should be fair and inclusive, and that protecting human memory is vital for fostering creativity and progress. With this initiative, we are creating a new avenue for international collaboration aimed at building a future that respects the past while providing future generations the chance to learn from history and draw inspiration from its lessons.”

Ongoing Cultural Leadership

This agreement demonstrates Sharjah’s ongoing leadership, under the direction of His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah, in fostering knowledge and humanitarian initiatives. It reinforces the emirate’s position as a global hub for cultural preservation, heritage protection, and the promotion of Arab representation in international intellectual and scientific organisations.
