Biology: the study of living organisms, divided into many specialized fields that cover their morphology, physiology, anatomy, behavior, origin, and distribution. This includes plants, animals, and other qualities of organisms or class of organisms.
Understanding morphogenesis is an inherently four-dimensional problem, as cells change position in space and the embryo is transformed over time. Dorsal intercalation of epidermal cells in t...
Cancer cells can acquire immune resistance resulting in a loss of immunosurveillance. Tumor cells can upregulate PDL-1 which binds to PD-1. This complex inhibits CD8 Tumor Infiltrating cells...
Dr. Koenitzer will present an overview of her current research in immune suppression. After a brief introduction to the MILLIPLEX® multiplex immunoassay portfolio, Dr. Koenitzer will dis...
Platinum-based chemotherapy has been the cornerstone for treating metastatic urothelial cancer, which compromises the majority of bladder cancer. While urothelial cancer is chemosensitive, p...
Microtubules (MTs) are dynamic cytoskeleton polymers forming a polarized intracellular network that provides structural support, facilitates intracellular transport and drives chromosome seg...
How organisms control organ size is a fundamental question in developmental and regenerative biology. The underlaying mechanisms are not well defined. For instance, we don’t fully unde...
The transport properties of biomolecules in cells can reveal a great deal about the functional interactions regulating cells at the molecular level. Various biophysical methods have been dev...
Although much is known about the molecular maternal-fetal interactions during implantation, the 3D architecture of the uterine environment in which the early embryo develops is not well unde...
Almost unidimensional in their primordial existence as single cells, multicellular organisms quickly develop into complex 3D architectures and machineries composed of multiple cells and tiss...
Madin Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells can form a polarized epithelial layer in culture. We and others have observed that these layers are frequently characterized by extralayer cells, posit...
During organismal development, differential regulation of the cell cycle is critical to many cell biological processes, including cell migration, cell fate specification and differentiation....
DATE: June 2, 2020 TIME: 7:00am PT, 10:00am ET In just a few months COVID-19 has risen from a regional crisis to a global threat, and drug makers are now scrambling to develop vaccines aimed...
The central carbon metabolism including glycolysis, the pentose phosphate pathway, and the TCA-cycle is essential for all biological systems. The measurements of metabolites involved in thes...

DATE: May 21, 2020 TIME: 8:00am PDT, 11:00am EDT The advent of CRISPR has radically changed the face and pace of biological research and has unlocked unprecedented potential in the study of...
Many questions at the forefront of biology depend on the interactions of millions of single cells. My lab develops technologies for studying large numbers of single cells. In this talk, I wi...
Personalized medicine has beomce a paradigm in lung cancer management; ~ 25–30% of advanced lung cancer patients could benefit from a targeted therapy. Several guidelines currently end...
Proteins are the functional blocks of any biological entity from 50 nm sized viruses to the 100 ft long mammals (blue whale). They perform intra cellular, tissue, organ, system, or organism...
The current gold standard for COVID-19 diagnosis is based on the detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid using real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Recent studies suggest limitations of RT-qPC...
The basic units of biological structure and function are cells, which exhibit wide variation in regard to both type and state. We assess such variation by simultaneously profiling the transc...
Techniques to analyze and sort single cells based on secreted products have the potential to transform our understanding of cellular biology as well as accelerate the development of next gen...
