“Vantage is approaching sustainability from all angles,” explained Sutton. “While energy efficiency and access to renewable energy are major focus areas, we are also investing in resources to reduce our carbon footprint, decrease water usage and be a good community partner. We want to ensure our campuses strengthen the communities where we operate while providing beautiful, comfortable and healthy spaces for our customers and employees to do their best work.”

Visby Medical Collaborates with Watchmaker Genomics to Enhance Respiratory Pathogen Detection in the At-Home Setting5.2.2026 14:00:00 CET | Press release
Visby Medical, a leading innovator in at-home PCR testing of infectious diseases, has announced a strategic collaboration with Watchmaker Genomics, a supplier of innovative products for molecular analysis, to develop next-generation diagnostic tests for respiratory pathogen detection in the at-home setting.
