An ecosystem refers to all living and nonliving features of a particular physical location. This includes living organisms as well as non living things, like weather, that interact with one another.
Burn patients are at risk for organ dysfunction secondary to “burn shock” and sepsis. The initial 24 hours following major burn injury presents with significant hypotension due to...
DATE: October 29, 2019TIME: 8:00am PDTAlthough immune-based therapies targeting the inhibitory receptors (PD-L1, PD1, and CTLA4) are proven to be effective to treat cancer, some pati...
Plants recruit soil microbes that provide nutrients, promote growth and protect against pathogens. However, the full potential of microbial communities for supporting plant health and agricul...
Learning objectives:1. Metagenomic analysis is already complex, and complicated further by incomplete and non-standardized databases of known organisms2. Fungi may have their own 'mic...
The printing press, the automobile & the Internet are just a few technological achievements that have advanced our world. All were driven by human ingenuity: our innate creativity that in...

The greatest need in agriculture this century is to mitigate impacts of abiotic (drought, temperature, salinity) and biotic (pathogens, pests) stresses on crop plants. Efforts over the...
Recent advancements in the precision medicine field have presented a great promise to provide innovative solutions to pharmaceutical and healthcare industry to help transform medicine. By fin...
This talk will reflect on what we can expect from the lab of the future and explore avenues towards such a digital lab. A major component of a digital lab is integration of instruments, syste...
Complex disease phenotypes - obesity, type II diabetes, and cancer challenge simple models in both evolution and biology. Examination of molecular networks and their dynamic behavior o...
In genomics, as in life, you need to be in the right place at the right time, and you need integrity, to be credible. Since the availability of the human genome sequence, there's been an...
More and more decisions will center on the ability to molecularly characterize a disease. So the molecular diagnostic laboratory will have a pivotal role. What does that look like? Will we be...
INTRODUCTION: The recent coincidental emergence of the human microbiota and the Hologneomic Theory of Co-evolution unmasked the “Dual Citizenship” of symbiotic microbes and...
The study of inherited genomic variation through genome wide association studies (GWAS) promised to provide key biologic insight into common diseases of public health significance such as obe...
With the exception of the Microbiome Quality Control (MBQC), very little has been published on best practices and reference standards for microbiome and metagenomic studies. As evidenced by r...

The human race, like all macrobiological life, evolved in a sea of microbes. There was no way to keep the bacterial and archaeal hoards at bay, so instead life evolved mechanisms to live with...
Multidimensional molecular characterization has led to a tsunami of cancer data. Precision Medicine assumes that new understanding and better interventions will flow from this “Big Data...
