Pharmacogenomics has emerged as an early use case of precision medicine. Delivering this new clinical data to clinicians in a ready to use format can be challenging. This talk wil...
The field of melanoma has been transformed by the parallel development of effective immune and targeted therapies. There is now strong evidence of cross-talk between oncogenic signaling...
The path form biomarker discovery to conversion to a clinically useful companion diagnostic test presents many challenges. The talk will outline the regulatory requirements to developing a su...
Vaccibody has developed a unique platform technology able to substantially potentiate vaccines by an inherent mechanism that attract, activate and deliver antigens to antigen presenting cells...
Heart failure (HF) is a major problem for our contemporary societies in terms of prevalence, mortality and cost. Natriuretic peptides are recognized biomarkers for the diagnosis of HF but als...
Rapid, accurate estimation of relative ligand affinities offers the potential to allow computational methods to direct drug design and development. Towards this goal we have developed t...
In the last years a number of advanced nanotechnologies have been proposed developed for the administration of drugs (nanomedicines for drug delivery), in order to provide possibilities...
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the Methyl CpG Binding Protein 2 (MECP2) gene. In mouse models of RTT, deficits in long-term potentiation (LTP) at...
Precision medicine allows for prediction of drug response and tailoring drug therapy based on genetic variability. This talk will provide examples of precision medicine initiatives at the Uni...
The distinction between "complementary" and "companion" diagnostics tests confuse many physicians and healthcare professionals. Panelists Professor Thomas Webster (Northea...
Therapies that activate the host immune system have shown tremendous promise for a wide variety of solid tumors. However, in most cancer types, fewer than half of patients respond to these th...
There are many tumor biomarkers but, they mostly reflect tumor mass or past growth, when what is more important is to obtain an indication of future growth and therapy response.Proliferat...
One-third of FDA-approved drugs target G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), transmembrane cell surface proteins that recognize small molecules and polypeptides with diverse chemical scaffolds...
This lecture introduces the evolving paradigm of Molecular Pathological Epidemiology (MPE) as simply as possible. Any given human disease represents fundamentally heterogeneous process,...
We recently reported that HDAC6 is involved in the regulation of a number of immunosuppressive checkpoint proteins, including the Program Death Receptor Ligand 1 (PD-L1). This protein is one...
The Protein and cell analysis education site is a free-access destination where you can learn more about applications and techniques related to protein gel chemistries, western detection, mas...
Most cell cycle assays amount to counting cells and/or measuring DNA content and deconvolving the resulting histogram into G1, S, G2+M, or G1, S, G2, and M. Considerable effort has been...
DATE: February 15, 2018TIME: 10:00 AM PST, 1:00 PM ESTModern biomedical instrumentation for research or diagnostic applications often rely on cameras as detectors. Cameras in instrument...
Labroots, Inc. is pleased to announce that they will once again host the Laboratory Animal Science Virtual Event Series (LAS)! The 7th annual, two-day international event...
Preclinical translational imaging, and specifically molecular imaging methods such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) as well as magne...
Compassion fatigue, or the state of chronic stress for those caring for people or animals in distress, can affect anyone working in the lab animal sciences. This can even affect employe...
The translation gap in biomedical research can be attributed in part to differences in how outcomes are assessed in preclinical research and in the clinic. Reasons for these mismatches includ...
Analgesics are commonly employed drugs for perioperative procedures and are required for painful procedures. They include not only non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) but also opio...
Digital technology is improving the speed and accuracy of all the world’s work processes and activities, the including the research vivarium. This presentation will address some...
Assessment of how changes in husbandry affect an animal can be challenging as most common methods of assessment, such as corticosterone levels, are more reliable for assessment of acute stres...
There is a growing debate about the usefulness of animal studies in biomedical research and drug development. Some of the challenges in translation from animals to human patients may be from...
Nonterminal blood collection from mice is frequently performed in biomedical research. Multiple phlebotomy sites and restraint techniques are available to investigators. Methods that minimize...
The aerodigestive tract is a combination of the respiratory tract and the upper portion of the digestive tract. As these two organ systems share many of the necessary structures used for swal...
Introduction:The cannulation of the cisterna magna in the rat is a valuable model for in-vivo sampling of cerebrospinal fluid for studying delivery of new drugs into the central nervous sys...
