Allele Mail Bag

Allele’s Online Community

Allele Biotech’s participation in social networking sites (Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace has been successful over the past few months! We initiated contact with our customers via these websites not only to provide an easy way to let people know about our newest products and promotions but, most importantly, to ensure better customer service through an easily accessible forum for questions, comments, and yes, even criticisms. We are not like those other companies that are so large that your business and opinions do not matter to us. We at Allele Biotech need and appreciate our customers and reward your patronage and participation in these social networking forums with special promotions and customer service that really lets you know we value your online community membership. Your research goals are our research goals!

Several times a week our tweets will inform you about great deals like FREE SHIPPING on select products ordered within a specific time frame.

Our regular blogs found on all three of our sites are used to converse on a variety of topics from SBIR grants to fluorescent proteins to skin care!

On facebook and myspace you can submit technical questions on protocol or products and receive SAME DAY answers; you may also send comments and suggestions for improvement which will be seen by our head scientist and executives. Your opinion counts at Allele! We began this networking concept as not only a way to better reach our customers but, more importantly, as a way for them to better reach us.

Become a friend, fan, or follower to any one of the sites today and receive a $30 discount off your next order!

Allele Mail Bag: Our discovery that stem cells and other cells can be non-invasively intranasally delivered to the brain.

A few words from the blog editor:  The Allele Mail Bag is a new feature we initiated here by this post on July 20, 2009.  We like to post some of the messages that our research, business development, or customer service staff receives through Allele’s published email boxes, e.g. oligo@allelebiotech.com (for ordering any product or service), iPS@allelebiotech.com, RNAi@allelebiotech.com, FP@allelebiotech.com, Vivec@allelebiotech.com (for consulting with Allele experts on each of the focus product group. FP: fluorescent proteins.  Vivec: viral vectors).  If we find your message to be suitable as a guest post on our blog, we will ask for your permission first.

In addition to any questions about any product, service, or R&D activity that Allele may provide or perform, we also encourage you to use our communication and social networking channels to help more people become aware of your own research progress.  After all, it is by the same principle of scientific information exchange through traditional channels such as publication in journals or presentation at meetings—the better we communicate the more science benefits.

Excerpt from a recent email to iPS@allelebiotech.com, with permission from Dr. Frey:

“Hi,
I am excited to tell you that along with my collaborators in Germany, especially Lusine Danielyan MD, I have discovered that stem cells and other therapeutic cells can be non-invasively delivered to the brain using the intranasal delivery method that I developed.  The first of our papers on this new discovery was just published in European Journal of Cell Biology.  I have attached a copy of this paper.  I am hopeful that this    breakthrough, that could revolutionize the stem cell industry and make stem    cell treatments practical by eliminating the need for invasive neurosurgical implantation of cells, can facilitate the development of stem cell therapies for Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, traumatic brain injury and many other brain disorders.

Best Regards,
