Pressing the Reset Button: The UK Life Sciences Market Reinvents Itself (Institutional Real Estate, Inc.)
*
Ray Fang, a Private Equity Real Estate partner and lawyer at Goodwin, says the UK life sciences segment is maturing as investors become more discerning. He describes how in the past investment was somewhat driven by pandemic tailwinds, "and frankly, a fear of missing out". "Private equity funds and institutional investors were making [good returns] and so others lookedto increase their exposure in a broadly thematic way," he explains. "Capital allocators were just that they were allocators. Whereas now investors want specialised offerings, strong operators, and demand more discipline. It's a lot more fundamentals-led and a lot less speculative." He added. "But actually, if you know what you're doing or can partner with an operator who does, startups succeed, move into larger premises, and you can shape the real estate ecosystem around them."

BOSTON, Massachusetts, Dec. 24 [Category: BizHospital] -- Mass General Brigham issued the following news release:
* * *
Novel AI Tool Offers Prognosis for Patients with Head and Neck Cancer
*
A team led by investigators at Mass General Brigham and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has developed and validated an artificial intelligence (AI)-based noninvasive tool that can predict the likelihood that a patient's oropharyngeal cancera type of head and neck cancer that develops in the throatwill spread, thereby signaling which patients should receive aggressive treatment. The research is published inJournal of Clinical Oncology.
"Our tool may help identify which patients should receive multiple interventions or would be ideal candidates for clinical trials of intensive strategies such as immunotherapy or additional chemotherapy," said senior author Benjamin Kann, MD, of the Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIM) Program at Mass General Brigham and a radiation oncologist at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women's Hospital. "Our tool can also help identify which patients should undergo de-intensification of treatment, such as surgery alone."
Treatments for oropharyngeal cancer, including combinations of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, can be difficult to tolerate and may have lasting negative effects. Therefore, it's important to identify subgroups of patients who may benefit from less or more intensive treatment approaches. One way to accomplish this involves assessing whether the patient has pathologic extranodal extension (ENE), which occurs when cancer cells invade beyond the lymph node into surrounding tissue. Currently, ENE can only be definitively diagnosed by surgically removing and examining lymph nodes.
To provide a method to assess ENE before treatment decisions are made, Kann and colleagues developed an AI-based tool that can take imaging data from computed tomography scans and predict the number of lymph nodes with ENE, an indicator of a patient's prognosis and likelihood of benefiting from intensified therapy. When the tool was applied to imaging scans from 1,733 patients with oropharyngeal carcinoma, the tool was able to predict uncontrolled cancer spread and worse patient survival. Integrating the AI's assessment into established clinical risk predictors improved risk stratification, leading to more accurate predictions of survival and cancer spread in individual patients.
"The AI tool enables the prediction of number of lymph nodes with ENE, which could not be done before, and shows that it is a powerful, novel prognostic biomarker for oropharyngeal cancer that could be used to improve the current staging scheme and treatment planning," said Kann.

Blackstone Announces Agreement to Acquire a Landmark Japan Logistics Asset, Marking the Largest Logistics Transaction in the Country This Year
*
TOKYO, JAPAN - December 25, 2025 - Blackstone (NYSE: BX) today announced that Real Estate funds managed by Blackstone ("Blackstone") have entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Tokyo C-NX (the "Asset"), a Grade A logistics asset located in central Tokyo. Valued at over JPY 100 billion (US$641 million), this marks thelargest logistics transaction in Japan this year and underscores Blackstone's commitment to investing in sectors that support Japan's economic growth.
The Asset - a 1.6 million square feet, 5-story warehouse in Tokyo Bay, within a 15-minute driving distance from the city center - serves as a mission-critical distribution hub. Japan continues to see steady demand for high-quality warehousing solutions, driven by its expanding e-commerce sector - now the fourth-largest globally - and a shift towards a more digitalized economy.
Daisuke Kitta, Head of Real Estate Japan, Blackstone, said: "We are pleased to invest in a premium asset in logistics, a fast-growing sector and one of Blackstone's highest conviction investment themes. This reinforces our focus on investing in critical industries shaping Japan's future and demonstrates our ability to offer scale, speed, and certainty to Japanese corporates seeking trusted partners to advance their strategic goals. We are committed to partnering with Japanese businesses and continuing to contribute in meaningful ways to the evolution of Japan's economy."
Japan is a high conviction market for Blackstone, where the firm has built partnerships with leading corporates including Seibu Holdings, Kintetsu Group, and Sony Group. In recent years, it has accelerated its investments across businesses. In Real Estate, Blackstone has built a diversified portfolio across logistics, residential, hotels, data centers, and offices. Earlier this year, Blackstone completed the acquisition of Tokyo Garden Terrace Kioicho for $2.6 billion (~JPY 400 billion) in the largest real estate investment at the time by a foreign investor. Blackstone is also building its data center presence in Japan through AirTrunk, a leading data center platform in the Asia Pacific region, further strengthening its position as the world's largest data center provider and a major investor across the AI value chain.
Blackstone is a significant investor in logistics globally. Over nearly 15 years, the firm has made investments at scale in the United States, Europe, and in the Asia Pacific region across Japan, India, Australia, Greater China, and South Korea.
