Cell: is the smallest structural and functional unit of an organism, typically microscopic and consisting of cytoplasm and a nucleus enclosed in a membrane. Microscopic organisms typically consist of a single cell, which is either eukaryotic or prokaryotic.
There are an urgent need for antivirals to treat the newly emerged SARS-CoV-2. We set out to develop cell-based screens to repurpose existing drugs for use against SARS-CoV-2. Our goal was t...

Therapeutic antibody can provide key protection or lifesaving treatment for those who haven't been or can’t be vaccinated, or when vaccines don’t “take". We galvan...
In less than nine months, the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has killed hundreds of thousands of people, including >23,000 in New York City (NYC) alone. The...
Infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, are challenging to study in animal models due to species differences, and conventional 2D cell-based systems lack the complexity to appropriately model...
Immunotherapy such as immune checkpoint inhibitor antibodies have revolutionized the treatments for hard-to-treat cancers, with durable responses observed in clinics. However, the overall re...
PerkinElmer is a global leader in the development of instrumentation and probes for small animal non-invasive imaging, including optical and µCT imaging. Through optical imaging, we ha...
In recent months, we have seen a large part of the global scientific community shift to infectious disease research. In response, researchers are exploring safer and easier methods to handle...
As the spread of infectious diseases, current pandemic, and growing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continues globally, next-generation sequencing (NGS) became a tool to diagnose infectious d...

DATE: September 15, 2020 TIME: 08:00am PT Tumorigenesis and cancer progression are affected by the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). The TIME not only influences the efficiency of existi...
While live cell imaging offers advantages over traditional static imaging, this approach has been challenging for studying microbes due to the difficulty in tracking very small cells in a si...
In this webinar, we will present QIAGEN CLC Genomics Workbench and its utility for bacterial isolate identification, strain discrimination using core genome multi-locus typing (cgMLST) and d...
Learning Objectives: 1. Understand the challenges of extracting DNA from human samples for microbiome analysis, and learn about the best technologies for accomplishing this 2. Learn about pr...
Enigmatic and often vilified, viruses are now known to play important and possibly indispensable roles in the biology and ecology of cellular organisms. Evidence of viral impacts are everywh...
Date: September 10, 2020 Time: 9:00am (PDT), 12:00pm (EDT) Osmolality testing is relevant throughout the entire bioprocessing workflow. As customers look to refine mAb and gene therapy workf...
The selective pressure placed on the resident microbiota by local changes in the host environment – DNA damage, chronic inflammation, metabolic shifts, barrier damage, reduced immunosu...
The transfer of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARG) to pathogenic microbes is a major concern in modern medicine. Antibiotic therapies are often rendered ineffective by horizontal acquisiti...
The host response to infection is a critical determinant of virus pathogenicity. Emerging viruses require the host cellular machinery to replicate and successfully infect new hosts, and must...
Microbial biofilms form on all aquatic surfaces and can harbor pathogenic bacteria. In the aquaculture industry, Flavobacteria species can cause serious diseases and lead to high mortality....
The microbiome has emerged as a major contributor to human health and disease. Numerous sources implicate shifts in the gut microbiome as potentially pathologic for a variety of autoimmune d...
Asthma is an increasing health concern affecting more than 25 million individuals in the United States and more than 300 million individuals worldwide. In some cases, sensitization or exposu...
Epidemics are occurring at an increasing pace and scale. Our laboratory group has developed platform technologies for discovery of broad and potent neutralizing antibodies for many emerging...
