"The intersection of our heritage and Peter’s unique design sensibility creates a fresh, effortless look to support our customers’ multi-dimensional lives. We are excited to offer a collection that will be a mainstay in wardrobes for years to come."

Designed by Peter Do with inspiration pulled from the Banana Republic archives, the capsule defines what the new vision for American clothing looks like with its versatile and genderful ready-to-wear styles and accessories. Crafted in Peter Do’s signature neutral color palette, the product is brought to life in Banana Republic’s timeless silhouettes.

"For BR x Peter Do, we focused on universal pieces designed with an eye towards versatility, wearability, and a timeless point of view," says designer Peter Do. "We both believe in quality and the end goal is to dress people in clothes that they will want to rewear with a feeling of newness each time."

The 28-piece collection features transformational outerwear including the Detachable Pleated Trench, City Coat and Detachable Utility Trench; key tailoring wardrobe pieces such as the Leather Utility Shirt, Tuxedo Utility Blazer, and Tuxedo Drill Trousers; and layering items such as the Utility Dress, Detachable Turtleneck Sweater, Artisan Tunic, Sweater Tanks, and Convertible Sweater Vest. Accessories include silk scarves and a leather belt bag.

To bring Peter Do’s New York-sensibility to the classic BR styles, a monochromatic, vintage map of Brooklyn was incorporated into the collection on the Utility Shirt, the Utility Dress, the Reworked Authentic Tee and the Printed Silk Scarf, as well as an under layer of the Detachable Utility Trench. Adding some playfulness to the collection, a sketch of a banana was designed on the Intarsia Sweater, the Reworked Authentic Tee and the Printed Silk Scarf. Mixed-media is embraced throughout with leather patches on knits and jackets, a leather and suede button down shirt, and a removable shearling collar for the Detachable Utility Trench that adds texture and dimension to the collection.

SAFETYscan47: A Valuable Component in Revolutionizing Chemical Risk Assessments for Global Health and Safety

0

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Eurofins Discovery, an industry-leading provider of products and services for drug discovery research, today announced its SAFETYscan®47 platform as a New Approach Methodology (NAM), part of a standardized framework aiming to revolutionize chemical risk assessments. The established platform provides in vitro high-throughput screening within this NAM framework, empowering researchers in diverse sectors with faster and cost-effective tools to assess chemical-related risk to human health.

The SAFETYscan47 functional panel comprises 47 human-relevant targets pivotal in the assessment of clinical adverse drug reactions (ADRs), supporting all pharmaceutical drug discovery stages and aligning early safety evaluations with clinical predictions, in addition to supporting other research domains such as food, cosmetics, and industrial chemicals. A recent case study published in the Society of Toxicology showcases its utility with in vitro risk assessment.

This SAFETYscan47 recognition offers solutions to challenges posed by traditional in vivo risk assessments. Beyond ethical concerns, they fail to fully replicate human in vivo mechanistic-related adverse events. Human genetic diversity is rarely considered, leading to uncertainties in translating results to human populations. Eurofins Discovery’s platform addresses these issues by delivering human-relevant, functional data with higher throughput and at lower costs.

Developed in alignment with the European Commission’s chemicals strategy, U.S. EPA’s Chemical Safety for Sustainability Strategic Research Action Plan, and other global strategies, SAFETYscan47 echoes the international drive for chemical-risk mitigation.

By integrating in vitro to in vivo extrapolation (QIVIVE) and leveraging mechanism-based methods, this Eurofins Discovery technology supports global efforts to ensure a toxic-free environment and safe therapeutic development. With its focus on efficiency and accuracy, SAFETYscan47 is a breakthrough in modern chemical safety evaluation.

About Eurofins Discovery
Eurofins Discovery is recognized as the industry leader for providing drug discovery researchers with the largest and most diverse portfolio of standard and custom in vitro safety & pharmacology assays and panels for drug screening and profiling. In addition to in vitro safety pharmacology strengths, Eurofins Discovery also offers a broad portfolio of over 3,500 drug discovery services and 1,800 products. These include in vitro assays, cell-based phenotypic assays, safety pharmacology and efficacy, ADME toxicology, medicinal chemistry design, synthetic chemistry, and custom proteins and assay development capabilities. Eurofins Discovery supports a variety of drug discovery targets such as GPCRs, Kinases, Ion Channels, Nuclear Hormone Receptors and other proteins and enzymes. Eurofins Discovery’s capabilities, expertise, knowledge and skill sets allow clients to work with a single outsourcing provider (CRO) for all their drug discovery programs. Eurofins Discovery is part of the international network of Eurofins laboratories.

About Eurofins – the global leader in bio-analysis

VerifyVASP's Travel Rule Platform Hits the US$ 100 Billion Mark

0

SINGAPORE, Oct. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — VerifyVASP has successfully verified transfers of virtual assets worth US$ 100 billion through its scalable, immediate and secure Travel Rule platform, as of 8 October 2023.

In light of the increasing number of countries enforcing Travel Rule and ongoing discussions surrounding sunrise and other related issues, VerifyVASP’s successful processing of US$ 100 billion in transactions is compelling evidence that meeting the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) requirements and expectations regarding Travel Rule is attainable at scale.

VerifyVASP has reached this milestone whilst maintaining its steadfast commitment to safeguarding sensitive customer information and upholding strict compliance with data protection laws and regulations.

US$ 100 billion in transactions is a substantial metric to assess the effectiveness of VerifyVASP in the context of the Guiding Questions for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) as outlined in FATF’s Targeted Update from June 2023.

The following checklist summarises VerifyVASP’s capabilities:

Does the tool enable VASPs to submit Travel Rule data for small
value VA transfers (i.e., below USD/EUR 1,000) to accommodate
varying threshold requirements across jurisdictions?

☑  

Does the tool cover all VA types? 

Does the tool enable beneficiary VASPs to obtain and handle a
reasonably large volume of transactions from multiple destinations in
a secure and stable manner?

Does the tool enable ordering VASPs to submit the required and
accurate originator and required beneficiary information to
beneficiary VASPs immediately upon or prior to a VA transfer on a
blockchain/distributed ledger technology platform?

Does the tool enable an ordering VASP to locate the counterparty
VASP for VA transfers? (This is not a mandatory tool function but
identifying the counterparty can be the first challenge for ordering
VASPs).

Does the tool provide VASPs with a communication channel to help
follow-up with a counterparty VASP to:

Seek information on the counterparty VASP to allow the
VASP to conduct required counterparty due diligence; and
request information on a certain transaction to determine if
the transaction involves high-risk or prohibited activities?

Does the tool provide functions to facilitate meeting record-keeping,
transaction monitoring, and reporting obligations (e.g., securely
retaining data for 5 years/ allow user VASPs to download data),
while being in line with national data protection requirements?

Does the tool allow Travel Rule information to be submitted to
VASPs using different tools?
