About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Charles River and Valo Health Identify a Potential Therapeutic for Lupus Using Logica®, an AI-Powered Drug Discovery Platform

First Logica-identified candidate marks a progression-based milestone in ongoing partnership with Pioneering Medicines, Flagship Pioneering’s in-house drug development unit

Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. (NYSE: CRL) and Valo Health, Inc. today announced the identification of an advanceable product candidate for the treatment of different forms of lupus and other autoimmune indications with significant unmet need. The discovery is the first using Logica®, an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered drug development solution that translates biological insights into optimized preclinical assets.

“Identification of this first lead candidate provides proof-of-concept for Logica as an engine to expedite and enhance drug discovery in a critical therapeutic area,” said Professor Julie Frearson, PhD, Senior Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer, Charles River. “Together with our partners at Valo Health and through our ongoing collaboration with Flagship’s Pioneering Medicines, we look forward to further leveraging the power of Logica to advance this program into lead optimization.”

Logica, the result of a strategic partnership between Charles River and Valo Health, is the industry’s first computation-powered, unified target-to-candidate offering. Logica leverages the integration of Valo Health’s AI-powered Opal Computational Platform™ and Charles River’s leading expertise in drug discovery and preclinical development.

A single integrated offering, Logica transforms the process of drug discovery by seamlessly translating targets to candidate nomination under a partnering business model. The Logica Advanceable Lead (Logica-AL) program integrates Valo’s DNA-encoded libraries and Opal Computational Platform with Charles River’s expertise in high-throughput screening to produce potent advanceable leads. The Logica Candidate (Logica-C) platform uses those leads and trained predictive models to rapidly advance a clinical program to deliver a candidate that will ultimately be ready for IND-enabling studies.

“We entered our collaboration with Charles River and Valo with a shared goal of accelerating the drug discovery process, and of expediting the development of critically needed therapies for patients with limited or no treatment options,” said Luisa Salter-Cid, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer, Pioneering Medicines. “Logica’s early success in identifying a potential therapy for an autoimmune disease has built confidence in that shared goal, and we are excited to continue working with the team as our program progresses.”
