Human research is scientific research conducted with human subjects in an effort to improve health. Human research can involve people directly, but it can also utilize specimens or data from people. Research can be aimed at developing a new drug or therapy or improving a diagnostic or therapeutic technique.

Structural variants (SVs) are essential in human evolution and genetic disease but remain understudied. This is especially the case for non-Caucasian ethnicities. We report, for the first ti...
In mammals, DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark that regulates gene expression by serving as a maintainable mark whose absence marks promoters and enhancers. Recent epidemiological studies...
The complete assembly of each human chromosome is essential for understanding human biology and evolution. Using complementary long-read sequencing technologies, we complete the first linear...
Telomere length (TL) is widely considered a molecular/cellular hallmark of the aging process with implications for multiple diseases. While there has been success in epidemiology and genomew...
We are entering into an exciting era of genomics where truly complete, high-quality assemblies of human chromosomes are available end-to-end, or from ‘telomere-to-telomere’ (T2T)...
Precise diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), which often have genetic causes, is a challenging and important problem. Here we describe the results of a recent pilot study using...
The recent explosion in the sample sizes and diversity of omics assays has created exciting new opportunities for biomedical scientists. However, connecting these omics data types in an inte...
Biological systems are comprised of numerous cell types, intricately organized to form functional tissues and organs. Cell atlas initiatives with single-cell RNA sequencing have begun to cha...
Date: April 15, 2021 Time: 8:00am PST Stem cell’s unique properties confer them a multitude of potential applications in the fields of cellular therapy, disease modelling and drug scre...
When SARS-CoV-2 reached the United States in late January 2020, Labcorp immediately began development of an RT-PCR test to aid in detection and diagnosis of COVID-19 in infected patients. As...
This presentation will focus on strategies for the design and validation of robust assays for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, including nucleic acid extraction, multiplexed qPCR assays, and int...
Asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection and delayed implementation of diagnostics have led to poorly defined viral prevalence rates. To address this, we analyzed seropositivity in US adults who ha...
COVID 19 is caused by a new coronavirus , SARS-CoV-2, which is highly infectious and can cause a wide spectrum of symptoms and affect multiple human systems. What we have learned from other...
Anthropogenic microparticles, including microplastics, are commonly found in nearshore environments, where they may be entrained in coastal waters, sequestered in sediments, or ingested by a...
Developing an in vitro diagnostic device is often a complex and demanding process. Doing so in the midst of a pandemic and the IVD global supply chain stretched like never before, with proje...
Date: April 13, 2021 Time: 07:00am PST Trends continue towards the development of more sophisticated and physiologically relevant 3D in vitro models, such as stem cell-derived models, organo...
I will first discuss findings from the larger field on microplastics effects across taxa in freshwater and marine ecosystems, and then cover ongoing work in our research group comparing resp...
