Drug research encompasses many processes which culminate in the development of drugs and pharmaceuticals. Drug discovery and development is a long and detailed endeavor including extensive research and testing of new drug modalities to ensure they are both safe and effective.
Genome Engineering allows the easy manipulation of genomes down to the nucleotide level. Targeted deep sequencing enables the detection and quantification of low-frequency editing events. Ho...
Genome editing with an expanded CRISPR-Cas tool set increases the opportunity to make intentional, targeted changes in the genome. Furthermore, improved specificity of genome editing and abi...
The adenosine analogue remdesivir has emerged as a front-line antiviral treatment for SARS-CoV-2, with preliminary evidence that it reduces the duration and severity of illness. Prior clinic...
Combinatorial inhibition of effector and feedback pathways is a promising treatment strategy for KRAS mutant cancers. However, the particular pathways that should be targeted to optimize the...
Cas9 based therapeutics have the potential to revolutionize the treatment of genetic diseases. However, safe and effective methods for delivering Cas9 protein, gRNA and donor DNA need to be...
An extensively debated concern about CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing is that unspecific guide RNA (gRNA) binding may induce off-target mutations. However, accurate prediction of CRISPR-Cas9 off-t...
A repeat expansion in the C9orf72-SMCR8 complex subunit (C9orf72) represents the most common genetic cause of two fatal neurodegenerative diseases: frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrop...
Learning Objectives: 1. Using an optics- and label-free approach to CRISPR research 2. Explain current approaches to selecting the most robust gRNA for CRISPR assays 3. The opportunities tha...

Intestinal organoids are self-organizing, 3D structures derived from either pluripotent stem cells or from primary tissues with the abiltiy to recapitulate some of the spatial architecture a...
Single-cell mass cytometry identifies mechanisms of resistance to immunotherapy in AML 6:30–7:00 am PDT Presented By: Shelley Herbrich, PhD Understanding CD19 negative relapse followin...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health threat, affecting 11-15% of the U.S. population alone. Currently, there are no effective therapies to cure CKD. Drug therapies are not p...
COVID-19 has developed into a crisis of global proportions. COVID-19 is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Key to SARS-CoV-2 therapeutic development is u...
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...
Richard Hughes: New immunogenicity strategies to meet the needs of a developing pandemic Shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic began, the subject of serological testing for anti-viral antibodi...
