Improved Pharma Enhances Solid-State Analytical Capabilities with Cutting-Edge Empyrean X-ray Diffractometer


“This strategic investment not only strengthens our research and development capabilities but also reinforces our commitment to compliance and confidentiality” continued President and CEO Sarah Byrn. “As our research frequently encompasses controlled substances, the Empyrean diffractometer extends our solid-state analytical capabilities within the confines of our secure laboratory environment.”

“Bringing this capability in-house is a game-changer for us,” said Pamela Smith, VP and COO of Improved Pharma. “In the past, we’ve had great success conducting XRPD studies at both Purdue University and Argonne National Laboratory. With Argonne currently down for an extensive upgrade, now was the perfect time to acquire the Empyrean diffractometer. And, with the added transmission capabilities, the signal-to-noise we can obtain on our samples is extraordinary.”

Improved Pharma’s investment in the Malvern PANalytical Empyrean Multi-Purpose X-ray Diffractometer reaffirms their commitment to staying at the forefront of pharmaceutical research and development. Their dedication to cutting-edge technology and scientific excellence positions them as a trusted partner in the industry.

Author Shares His Spiritual Journey to Building a Relationship with the Universal Christ


Paul A. Chimzar reveals how he went from seeing God as judgmental and punitive to loving and forgiving

WOODBURY, Minn., Oct. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — After years of striving to achieve spiritual growth within the Catholic Church, Paul A. Chimzar grew disappointed and discouraged, and began searching for answers. In his new book, “In Search of the Universal Christ: A Paradigm Shift in Christian Beliefs,” he shares with readers how his beliefs shifted from the old Catholic paradigm, to one that includes a cosmic, universal Christ.

In Chimzar’s search for spiritual truth, he found Father Richard Rohr’s podcasts and book, “The Universal Christ.” He credits Rohr’s work with changing his life and spiritual outlook.

In “In Search of the Universal Christ,” Chimzar reveals he no longer believes people were born with original sin. Instead, he thinks everyone was born with original goodness and from wounds from life experiences cause people to fall into sin. He now views sin as a deviation from Christ’s path, a fact of life, that provides teaching moments for spiritual growth and transformation, instead of sin being shameful and to be avoided.

Chimzar shares the differences between retribution and restorative justice. He believes that Christ is asking his followers to practice restorative justice, which centers around forgiveness and healing.

Chimzar explains the universal Christ through his depiction of him. He explains the three stages of spiritual growth and transformation in Christ. He introduces the reader to the three key Christ-like behaviors that Jesus taught and practiced throughout his life.

Chimzar uses a sailing analogy to help explain the spiritual journey in search of the universal Christ. His call to action for his readers is to “be the captain for your ship on your spiritual journey instead of a passenger on someone else’s.”
