The microbiome most simply refers to a community of microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria, or viruses, that exist in a particular environment and change in response to environmental factors. In humans, the microbiome refers to the microorganisms that live in/on a particular part of the body like skin.
Influenza infections are initiated by just a handful of virions infecting a handful of cells, so it is important to understand what happens in single infected cells. I will describe work tha...
Seasonal and pandemic influenza virus infections can cause significant disease worldwide. Current vaccines only provide limited, short-lived protection, and antigenic drift/shift in the hema...
This webinar covers various fundamental aspects of performing a successful digital PCR (dPCR) assay on the QIAcuity instruments. An essential parameter to consider in designing a dPCR assay...
DATE: July 23, 2020 TIME: 10:00am PDT, 1:00pm EDT SARS-CoV-2 virus has impacted billions of lives globally and has spurred many scientists to address some of the biggest questions regarding...
DATE: July 23, 2020 TIME: 10:00 am PDT The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has taken a toll on many sectors of the medical community. As the pandemic took a grip on the laboratory, the need for diagnost...
Here I review the applications of Ion Torrent NGS technology in the field of microbiome research and some recent publications about it. With Ion Torrent 16S rRNA next generation sequencing,...
The fast spread of SARS-Cov-2 sparked much interest in understanding the underlying genomics of this 30,000bp Coronavirus. Thus far, thousands of genome assemblies are available, yet they fe...
The necrobiome is the community of organisms that use or are affected by decomposing organic matter. Decomposing organic matter comes in the form of dead plant matter (biomass) or that of de...
Learning Objectives: 1. What is wrong with healthcare today 2. What kinds of omics and wearables data can be used to best predict disease risk and manage health...
As the spread of infectious diseases, current pandemic, and growing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continues globally, next-generation sequencing (NGS) and specifically metagenomics became a...
Despite FDA-approved vaccines and antivirals, seasonal and pandemic influenza remains a serious threat associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. The present modalities and vaccine...
Respiratory viral infections remain a leading cause of medical visits and can contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality. Influenza, together with pneumonia, is the leading infectiou...
Influenza viruses are transmitted by membrane-bound virus particles, or virions. Unlike some viruses, which produce near-identical virions from a well-defined set of viral components, influen...
The efficacy of current influenza antiviral drugs is compromised by emerging drug resistance. To address this unmet medical need, we have made progress in developing novel influenza antiviral...
To prepare for the 2019 flu season it is important to get immunized. In 2019 a tetravalent (four-virus) vaccine is available in a number of forms including an egg-free formulation that is for...
Since the establishment of reverse genetics techniques to manipulate the influenza virus genome, it has been possible to study viral molecular signatures responsible for virulence, and the ge...
Multiple factors can affect and impact infection dynamics and virulence produced by influenza virus (IV) infections. Susceptibility factors and host responses can also have major effects in d...
