Deeptech — Global Winners : iLoF — Oxford, UK

iLoF uses AI and photonics to build a cloud-based library of disease biomarkers, initially focusing on the biggest epidemic of our time: Alzheimer’s disease.

How does it feel to be a winner of the Female Founders Competition?
It’s an honor to be selected as a winner from such an inspiring and trail-blazing group of women-led deeptech companies from all over the globe. We are immensely excited to be able to join M12, Mayfield and Melinda Gates’ Pivotal Ventures in the fight for increased diversity, and to be able to do our small part in supporting an environment of inclusion, openness and acceptance. As we begin this next phase in our journey with the backing and support of world-renowned investors, we believe we will be able to fast-track the development and deployment of our platform and our vision.

How has your offering impacted customers to date?
Using our non-invasive, low-cost and agnostic platform, we are transforming the drug discovery and development process, creating value for customers in a wide range of applications.
In our main focus area, Alzheimer’s disease, we have enabled a promising biotech to validate a new nano-sized therapeutic biomarker. At the same time, we are providing a public hospital with a tool to screen thousands of patients for a clinical trial in a non-invasive and patient-centric way.

How do you plan to use the funding from the Female Founders Competition?
We at iLoF are on a mission to enable a new era of personalized medicine, by helping the industry develop precise and personalized treatments for patients. This investment will be used to fast track our collaboration with one of our industry partners for development of a treatment for Alzheimer’s, while also accelerating our work in two additional verticals: oncology and cardiovascular disease.

What advice do you have for other female founders who are fundraising right now?

1. Find other female founders to share and learn from each other, leverage communities or build your own.

2. Identify female-led startup role models, reach out to them and get them to show you the ropes.

3. Be prepared, understand the process, know your numbers and practice, practice, practice.

4. Brace yourself for rejections and learn to reframe them into learning opportunities.

If you prefer life on the more relaxing end of the gaming scale, you might want to keep an eye out for One Line Coloring which launches on Switch next month.

Inspired by Connect-the-dots (or dot-to-dot, as you might call it), One Line Coloring has players drawing objects line-by-line, slowly transforming them from a series of dots to a living, breathing animation. Some objects are instantly recognisable, but others will have you second-guessing as you slowly fill in each section.

Apparently, each model you fill in is actually part of a bigger picture; the ultimate goal is to uncover all of the different shapes, completing each of these dioramas. As you can tell from the trailer above, everything about it just oozes relaxation. Here are some key features:

ONE LINE COLORING OFFERS:
– Over 100 carefully designed models to uncover and collect
– 6 unique themes to showcase completed models
– Playful scenes presented as dioramas for players to create
-Pastel, eye-catching visuals to relax our mind
– Engaging dot connecting mechanics to spice up the gameplay
– Fresh twist to a classic, dot-to-dot games
– Creative puzzles easy for children, engaging for adults

The game launches on Nintendo Switch on 21st August and will be priced at $6.99.

If you’re a person who enjoys the simple things, like running through a dungeon, blending your foes with whirling blades, or facing off against fearsome bosses, then we might have something for you. After our giveaway of the JRPG, Emergent Fates last week, we are now giving away a fair few Android treasure codes for the action-packed, Darkness Rises. It’s a great looking RPG, crossing the hack-n-slash of games like Diablo with challenging boss battles, as you hold the line against a seemingly endless wave of demonic incursions.

Sounds like fun, right? Darkness Rises also has great character customisation options to give you that authentic RPG experience, and some elements of dungeon crawling. You don’t have delve dungeons alone either, as you can join a guild with your adventurer pals, and form a party to take the fight to those demon scoundrels.

Though Darkness Rises launched last year, it still feels pretty chipper with its graphical realism and gorgeous fantasy visuals. If you’re going to murder demons, why not do it in style?

If you’d like to get your hands on an Android code, simply fill in the Gleam form below. We do need your full name and email address so we can contact you in a week’s time if you win though, and we also require that you read our full terms and conditions before you enter. You can find them right here.

Netflix has already turned the Castlevania video game series by Konami into a highly successful animated show. Now, following in its footsteps is a new anime based on Capcom’s action role-playing game, Dragon’s Dogma. It’s launching on 17th of September.

As previously noted in the original announcement, back in 2019, the anime will be created by Sublimation, and in partnership with Anima and David Production. Here’s the story outline from Netflix, along with some screens:

Ethan sets out to vanquish the Dragon that took his heart, but with every demon he battles, the more he loses his humanity.

Is this the anime adaptation you’ve been waiting for? Leave a comment down below.

What if you have a ternary operator that’s very long?

var = 'I want to learn Python' if 42**2<166 else 'I want to learn Go programming'

print(var)

# I want to learn Go programming

Problem: How to write the ternary operator in multiple lines?

Short Recap: Ternary Operator

Ternary Operator: The most basic ternary operator x if c else y consists of three operands x, c, and y. It is an expression with a return value. The ternary operator returns x if the Boolean expression c evaluates to True. Otherwise, if the expression c evaluates to False, the ternary operator returns the alternative y.

Syntax: The three operands are written as x if c else y which reads as “return x if c else return y“. Let’s write this more intuitively as:

<OnTrue> if <Condition> else <OnFalse>

Related article: For a full tutorial on the ternary operator, check out our detailed blog article.

Method: Parenthesis to Extend Logical Line Over Multiple Physical Lines

Solution: You can extend any logical line in Python over multiple physical lines by using the parenthesis.

var = 'I want to learn Python' if 42**2<166 else 'I want to learn Go programming'

print(var) var = ('I want to learn Python' if 42**2<166 else 'I want to learn Go programming')

print(var)

# I want to learn Go programming

This is the PEP8 standard way of breaking long lines—if you cannot do it in a more natural way (such as avoiding the ternary operator and using the if statement in this example).

Try it yourself:

Exercise: Write a nested ternary operator and break it into multiple lines!
