Relfydess: consistent efficacy across patient profiles and new insights into real-world value
Galderma will share new economic modelling data, reflecting real‑world experience of Relfydess from aesthetic clinics across multiple markets.1 The analysis shows that switching from traditional powder toxins to Relfydess’ ready‑to‑use formulation could generate an annual profit increase, driven by faster onset, longer duration, higher patient satisfaction and therefore increased capacity for new appointments.1

 

Data demonstrating Relfydess’ equally strong efficacy in both toxin‑naïve and previously treated patients will also be shared, showing high response rates, rapid onset from Day 1 and sustained improvements through six months.2 Galderma will also present expert‑led consensus recommendations that address key unmet needs in real‑world clinical practice, offering clear, practical guidance for optimal dosing, injection patterns and treatment planning with Relfydess across the upper face.3

 

Comprehensive data showcase innovation and best practice across Sculptra and certain Restylane treatments for face and body
Results from an expert review will be presented, reinforcing Sculptra’s ability to deliver regenerative benefits across all three skin layers, by activating fibroblasts and stimulating the production of type I collagen, elastin, proteoglycans and other extracellular matrix components, while influencing local adipose tissue.4 These effects underpin the long‑term improvements seen with Sculptra, including increased elasticity, skin thickness, and overall improvements in the mechanical properties of the skin.4

 

In the wake of the EU MDR certification of Sculptra expanding its use to the body, guidance developed by 13 international experts will be shared at AMWC.5 The guidance is designed to support safe practice for comprehensive body rejuvenation, providing standardized injection protocols for or Sculptra in the posterior thighs, upper arms and gluteal area, as well as the décolletage, where its benefits can be complemented with Restylane SkinboostersTM .5 Additional data evaluating the effectiveness and safety of Restylane Skinboosters for correction of moderate-to-severe wrinkles in the décolletage will also be shared, highlighting the product was well tolerated and highly efficacious, with high patient satisfaction.6

 

In a dedicated symposium, international experts will explore this topic further, discussing best practices for use of Sculptra, Restylane Skinboosters and Alastin™ for body indications. The session will explore patient assessment, treatment planning, and practical approaches to optimizing outcomes, with live injections to provide real-time insight into techniques and clinical decision-making. The symposium will take place Thursday, March 26, from 2:00 – 4:00 PM CET, in Camille Blanc.

 

Additional data from Galderma’s versatile Restylane hyaluronic acid (HA) injectable range in the face will also be presented.7.8 Restylane Lyft™ demonstrated non‑inferiority to a comparator HA injectable for chin profile improvement at Month 3, and sustained aesthetic improvement and subject satisfaction through Month 12.7 Meanwhile, Restylane Volyme™ was shown to be well tolerated and effective for correcting temple hollowing, delivering high and long‑lasting aesthetic results through Month 18 alongside strong patient satisfaction.8

 

Empowering clinicians with evidence-based guidance for increasingly complex patient profiles
At the congress, Galderma will share insights into complex patient profiles, including findings from a global survey of over 4,300 women across five continents linking menopause to several skin changes, such as wrinkles, loss of firmness, dryness and dull skin, and the growing relevance of aesthetic treatments in addressing these concerns.9

 

This, and other complex profiles will be explored in depth in a symposium titled ‘The AART of Precision Aesthetics’ on Thursday, March 26, from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM CET, in Prince Pierre. Focusing on groups such as menopausal patients and those affected by medication‑driven weight loss, the session, including live injections, will encourage physicians to rethink treatment planning to answer to these increasing patient needs and explore the key trends shaping the aesthetics industry.

 

A medical symposium, titled ‘A Holistic Approach to Skin Quality’ [TBC], will take place on Friday, March 28, from 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM CET, in Genevoix. The session will feature new data on menopause and addressing medication-driven weight loss on the body, and will explore the clinical principles behind Galderma’s holistic treatment philosophy, examining how skin quality interventions can be integrated for personalised, high impact results.

Fujirebio Announces CE Marking of the Fully Automated Lumipulse® G Nfl Blood Assay

Business Wire India

H.U. Group Holdings Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary, Fujirebio Holdings, Inc. (hereinafter “Fujirebio”) today announced that Fujirebio Europe N.V. has obtained a CE Certificate of the Lumipulse G NfL Blood assay under the Regulation (EU) 2017/746 on in vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVDR). This CLEIA (chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay) test allows for the quantitative measurement of Neurofilament light chain (NfL) in plasma and serum.

 

“While our assay menu already features many powerful disease-specific biomarkers, NfL marks a major breakthrough: our first CE-marked blood test that empowers clinicians with insights across a wide range of neurological disorders,” said Christiaan De Wilde, CEO at Fujirebio Europe N.V. “We are excited to bring this test to our customers, further expanding our comprehensive portfolio of fully automated neurological disease testing solutions on the LUMIPULSE G platform. We continue to partner with organizations and clinical experts across the world to enable earlier, easier and more complete neurological disease diagnostic tools.”

 

 

About NfL

 

 

Neurofilament light chain (NfL) is a biologically relevant biomarker of neuroaxonal injury that can support disease monitoring, prognosis, and treatment evaluation across a wide range of neurological disorders. Its clinical utility depends on interpretation within the appropriate clinical context, using age-related ref values, well-defined clinical decision rules, and longitudinal assessment of change over time.

 

 

Advances in sensitive and fully automated immunoassays have enabled reliable quantification of NfL in serum and plasma, supporting its transition from a research marker to a clinically relevant tool. Across neurodegenerative diseases of different etiologies – inflammatory, vascular, infectious, and traumatic conditions – elevated NfL levels consistently reflect axonal damage largely independent of underlying pathogenic mechanisms.

KIOXIA Achieves 4.8 Billion High-Dimensional Vector Search Database on a Single Server, with 7.8x Index Build Time Acceleration via GPUs

Business Wire India

Kioxia Corporation today announced the successful demonstration of achieving high-dimensional vector search scaling to 4.8 billion vectors on a single server with its open-source KIOXIA AiSAQ™ approximate nearest neighbor search (ANNS) technology. Additionally, Kioxia demonstrated a significant reduction in index build time by leveraging GPU acceleration through NVIDIA cuVS. These two achievements mark a significant advancement for retrieval augmented generation (RAG) search solutions. Continued development is underway to support larger-scale deployments beyond 4.8 billion vectors.

 

Index build time on a massive-scale vector database is a crucial pain point for the industry. In collaboration with NVIDIA, Kioxia demonstrated up to 20x improvement in KIOXIA AiSAQ index build time for high-dimensional vectors of 1024 dimensions, and up to 7.8x improvement in end-to-end build times. This 20x improvement represents a reduction from 28.4 days using CPU to 1.4 days using four NVIDIA Hopper GPUs to build the index, and a reduction from 31 days to 4 days in end-to-end testing.1

 

 

AI applications may now rely on larger volumes of vectorized information reaching tens of billions of vectors and beyond stored on SSDs, while DRAM alone becomes impractical even at a billion scale. Kioxia enables a highly scalable storage architecture with KIOXIA AiSAQ technology by achieving billion-scale search, exceeding RAG application latency requirements using a single query server in a Milvus vectorDB environment powered by GPU acceleration on index builds that make large scale deployments practical.

 

 

“Vector databases provide a backbone for applications that need to understand intent, context, and similarity across massive, unstructured datasets in real time,” said Jason Hardy, Vice President, Storage Technologies, NVIDIA. “By leveraging GPU-accelerated indexing with the NVIDIA cuVS library, Kioxia supports high-dimensional vector databases that can scale and build indexes with unprecedented efficiency.”

 

 

First announced last year, KIOXIA AiSAQ open-source software technology addresses RAG scalability challenges by enabling vector search directly from SSDs, with reduced DRAM usage. KIOXIA AiSAQ technology provides high scalability, making it well-suited for both multi-tenant environments and large-scale monolithic index deployments.

Scaler Launches 12-Month Online ‘PGP in Business & AI’ to Prepare Future Leaders for an AI-Driven Economy

Business Wire India

As artificial intelligence moves rapidly from experimentation to enterprise adoption, it is reshaping not only how work gets done but also what leadership looks like across industries. According to McKinsey & Company, generative AI could automate or augment up to 60-70% of tasks across knowledge-based roles, fundamentally changing how professionals work. Similarly, research from the Boston Consulting Group suggests that organisations integrating AI into decision-making and operations are already seeing productivity gains of 30-40% in certain functions, particularly in marketing, operations, and customer analytics.

 

New research conducted by CyberMedia Research and Scaler highlights the scale of this transition. The study found that 88% of engineers and recruiters expect AI to significantly change job roles within the next two to three years. At the same time, while 89% of professionals believe they are AI-ready, only 19% are deeply engaged in real AI or machine learning work, revealing a widening gap between confidence and capability.

 

As AI becomes embedded across functions such as marketing, finance, product strategy, and operations, the challenge is no longer access to AI tools but the ability to use them meaningfully. Companies increasingly need leaders who can combine strong business fundamentals with an understanding of AI and technology, bridging strategic thinking with technological capability.

 

To address this emerging leadership skills gap, Scaler recently introduced its PGP in Business & AI, a 12-month online master’s certificate programme designed for working professionals preparing for management and leadership roles in a technology-driven economy. Building on over a decade of experience training engineers and professionals in advanced technology skills, Scaler brings deep expertise in teaching complex technical concepts through industry-led instruction and hands-on learning. Scaler has also committed INR 50 crore over the next two years to scale the programme, expand industry partnerships, and deepen applied learning infrastructure.

 

“AI is fundamentally reshaping how organisations operate. The leaders who will succeed in this environment are those who combine strong business fundamentals with fluency in data, technology, and AI-driven decision making,” said Abhimanyu Saxena, Co-founder of Scaler and InterviewBit. “Management education needs to evolve accordingly. Leaders can no longer operate purely from a strategy perspective without understanding the technologies shaping their industries. This gap between technological change and leadership readiness is precisely what programmes like Scaler’s Online PGP in Business & AI aim to address.”

 

Scaler’s Online PGP in Business and AI blends core management education with technology awareness and applied AI concepts. The programme begins with a foundation phase covering structural thinking, data analysis, business communication, research, and quantitative methods, before moving into a management mastery stage that explores strategy, finance, marketing, economics, operations, and team management. Learners are then introduced to AI fundamentals, including how modern AI systems work from transformers and embeddings to reasoning models, and how these technologies can be applied safely and effectively in real business contexts. The programme culminates in a major industry capstone project in which participants work on real business challenges sourced from enterprise partners, spanning go-to-market strategy, digital operations, customer intelligence, and growth strategy.

 

Designed as an upskilling programme for working professionals, the curriculum emphasises hands-on learning through real-world assignments, decision labs, projects, and mentorship from industry leaders. Learners also gain access to Scaler’s AI-powered learning assistant and to the founders and industry networks to help them transition into management and leadership roles.

 

To maintain a high level of interaction and mentorship, the programme follows a highly selective cohort-based model, admitting only 50 learners per batch. Participants go through a structured admissions process to ensure a strong mix of professionals across technology, consulting, product, and business roles. By limiting cohort size, Scaler aims to enable deeper faculty engagement, collaborative peer learning, and more personalised mentorship throughout the programme.

 

The Scaler-CMR study also shows that professionals increasingly prefer learning models that mirror real workplace demands. More than 80% of learners prioritise hands-on projects, while recruiters place greater emphasis on real-world problem-solving and project experience over theoretical knowledge when evaluating candidates.

 

As AI continues to reshape industries, the future of leadership will increasingly belong to professionals who can bridge business strategy, data, and technology. Programmes that integrate these capabilities into management education will play an important role in preparing professionals for the next decade of business leadership.

NetApp Accelerates Momentum in AI Leadership with NVIDIA

Business Wire India

NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the Intelligent Data Infrastructure company, today announced enhancements to its enterprise-grade data platform, enabling customers to remove roadblocks to AI innovation. In addition to supporting the latest innovations from NVIDIA announced at GTC, NetApp is launching NetApp AI Data Engine (AIDE)—a secure, unified AI data platform stack co-engineered with NVIDIA and integrated with the NVIDIA AI Data Platform reference design.

 

A foundational challenge for AI is enabling enterprises to discover, understand, and govern the data they have across their global data estates. If data is AI’s fuel, finding and using the best data is essential to making truly transformative AI. NetApp AIDE helps enterprises solve this need through an automatically created—and continuously updated—global metadata catalog with powerful search capabilities. Critically, the NetApp AIDE metadata catalog goes beyond standard file system metadata and actively analyzes file content to semantically enrich metadata in place, rather than introducing additional security concerns and expense by moving the data multiple times. This enriched metadata enables enterprises to find, curate, use, and govern data in order to feed and use the correct and most up-to-date data throughout the AI data pipeline—from selection and transformation through retrieval and serving to AI applications and agents.

 

 

“Despite massive investments and market pressures to leverage AI for improved productivity and enhanced business decision making, data challenges are bottlenecking projects before they even reach production,” said Syam Nair, Chief Product Officer at NetApp. “To take back control of their data, customers need a mature enterprise-grade data platform that was designed disaggregated and intelligent from the beginning so that storage, services, and control scale independently without lock-in. Leveraging the NetApp data platform, including NetApp AIDE and support for NVIDIA’s leading AI capabilities, we’re helping customers build enterprise grade AI factories supported by our high-performance unified storage platform.”

 

 

NetApp AIDE will be launching this month for an initial wave of lighthouse customers and partners, with broad availability coming early summer. As a strong champion of open technology ecosystems NetApp will also continue to deliver integrations across a number of ISV partners, both on-premises and in the cloud, providing the deep and seamless integrations essential for customers bringing production AI workloads to life. Examples of these ISV partner integrations that will be available very soon include leading AI app development platforms and frameworks built on hyperscale cloud services such as Microsoft Azure‑based AI applications, Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform, and LangChain, enabling customers to rapidly build AI apps that securely leverage their unstructured enterprise data, continuously made AI-ready in-place.

 

 

Over the next few months, NetApp AIDE will extend to support an increasing number of deployment options, giving customers broad infrastructure flexibility. AIDE is an integrated set of software solutions that customers will soon be able to run on various server options to help best suit customers’ individual use cases and needs. For example, customers will be able to use NetApp AIDE across their data estate with the new NVIDIA RTX PRO™ 4500 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs announced today at NVIDIA GTC and NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs. NetApp AIDE will also quickly extend to support deployments directly into a wide variety of new and existing NetApp storage environments—including AFF A-Series, AFF C-Series, and FAS.

 

 

And, this summer, NetApp AIDE will add several more capabilities. Expansive hybrid cloud support will bring NetApp AIDE capabilities to enterprise data no matter where it lives—seamlessly across on-premises and cloud storage. NetApp AIDE will also evolve to include new multimodal data capabilities—extending the breadth of NetApp AIDE capabilities to include visual data, unlocking powerful new use cases on a range of unstructured data. And, robust agentic AI support will enable seamless, secure, governed agentic workflows on enterprise data—across a global NetApp data estate—all supporting popular, industry standard protocols.

 

 

“Through our partnership, NetApp and Cisco are delivering enterprise-grade infrastructure that accelerates AI adoption,” said Jeremy Foster, SVP and GM, Cisco Compute. “FlexPod AI—part of the Cisco AI POD portfolio—brings together the full stack of compute, storage, networking, security and observability capabilities our customers need to anchor their AI factories. Using NetApp AIDE with this solution moves AI to our customers’ data, right where it lives, speeding up data pipelines and delivering value faster.”

 

 

To further enhance the NetApp data platform’s ability to support AI innovation, NetApp will support NVIDIA STX, a modular, rack-scale storage reference architecture for agentic AI. Built with NVIDIA Vera Rubin and NVIDIA BlueField-4 DPUs, STX will deliver a high-performance data engine with a specialized memory tier for KV-cache storage, improving power efficiency, throughput, and security. Leveraging NetApp data management capabilities in this new reference architecture, customers will be able to bridge the gap between massive AI compute and unstructured data storage by centralizing intelligent data handling.

 

 

“The fundamental demand for AI factories is pushing enterprises to find new ways to govern and utilize their vast data estates for generating business value,” said Jason Hardy, Vice President, Storage Technologies at NVIDIA. “By integrating with NVIDIA’s AI Data Platform reference architecture, NetApp provides a framework for enterprises to efficiently manage data for large-scale AI deployments.”
