Epidemiology: the study and analysis of the patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease conditions in defined populations. It is the cornerstone of public health, and shapes policy decisions and evidence-based practice by identifying risk factors for disease and targets for preventive healthcare. Epidemiologists help with study design, collection, and statistical analysis of data, amend interpretation and dissemination of results.

This talk will characterize the current clinical and laboratory standards for determining risk for chronic renal dysfunction...
Healthcare associated infections can be a consequence of a microbiome alteration. Increasingly, treatment and prevention strategies focus on manipulating host microbiota, the two most common...
Following attendance of this virtual event, participants should appreciate the changing epidemiology of trichomoniasis and clinician ordering patterns on the basis of improved laboratory...
Cancer remains the second leading cause of death in the United States. Most tumors arise from a myriad of genetic changes that dysregulate cell growth and prompt survival. Ident...
The advent of the microarray technology in 2000 has paved the way for advanced translational research methods that use molecular markers such as microRNA, proteins, metabolites and copy numbe...
Understanding systematic biases in primary research are important for appropriate interpretation of research and recognizing features of reproducible research. Systematic biases arise from th...
The HIV and AIDS pandemic ranks among the most devastating in recorded history. Substantial research efforts over the past 30 years have led to novel discoveries with respect to the vir...
While genomics has been used as a tool for research for many years, globally there is increasing momentum to deploy microbial genomics for routine public health microbiology. This technology...
As one of the nation's most prevalent sexually transmitted infections, genital herpes represents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to clinicians, laboratorians and the patients they...
In November of 2013 the AHA/ACA jointly proposed new guidelines for the management of hypercholesterolemia, the first full update in over a decade. The charge was to create evidence bas...
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are powerful approaches for diagnosis and surveillance of emerging infections. Unbiased metagenomic NGS can detect the full spectrum of pathogen...
Control of infection from methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been a healthcare focus for more than 50 years. One of the reasons that active surveillance testing (AST) for...
Among many surprising insights, the genomic revolution has helped us to realize that we're never alone and, in fact, barely human. For most of our lives, we share our bodies with some ten ti...

When a patient presents with acute bloody diarrhea and tests negative for common causes such as campylobacter and salmonella, what's missing? Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) is increasin...
Asthma is heritable, influenced by the environment, and is modified by in utero exposures and aging; all of these features are also common to epigenetic regulation. Furthermore, genetic varia...
Although the incidence of breast cancer is steadily increasing, mortality rates are decreasing. This means that the majority of women with breast cancer now survive, making it even more impor...
When whole genome and whole exome sequencing are introduced into health care, and offered directly to consumers in commercial settings, the landscape of genetic testing will drastically chang...
In this presentation I describe pathway based analyses of genotyping data to identify pathways related to the development of complex diseases, with a focus on lung cancer and selected autoimm...
Understanding how genes coordinate their expression across cells in a growing embryo can provide insights into the transcriptional programs that control development. Intercellular variability...
Vaginitis and vaginosis, including Bacterial Vaginosis (BV), Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (VVC), and Trichomoniasis (TV), are extremely common conditions, consuming many healthcare resources and...
While the "Jolie effect" has refocused attention on the central role of BRCA gene analyses in the diagnosis and prevention of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, there is a global disparity...
