Research and Development: innovative activities performed by corporations or governments for the creation, discovery and advancement of services and products.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a significant contributor to cancer-related mortality in the United States and worldwide. Current treatments are largely ineffective: single agent and combin...
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small, naturally-occurring non-coding ribonucleic acids with sizes between 18 and 40 nucleotides (nts) that have been demonstrated to play a significant role in the re...
The management of prostate cancer (PCa) continues to evolve and does so at a rapid rate. Research and technological developments continue to refine our definitions and management of this comp...
The Warburg effect or aerobic glycolysis is a well-known cancer metabolism phenomenon and serves as an established test for tumor detection with FDG-PET scanning technology. Cancer cells swit...
Using the NSGTM mouse (NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ), JAX In Vivo Pharmacology Services has combined the human CD34+ hematopoietic stem cell engrafted NSGTM (hu-CD34 NSGTM) with human pat...
The landscape for treatment options in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer has changed dramatically since 2010. There have been more therapies approved since 2010 than in the prio...
We have been developing methods to target drugs specifically to pathologic cells, thereby avoiding collateral toxicity to healthy cells. In the case of cancer, we have exploited up-regulation...
The genome determines changes of the transcription profile upon environmental changes and finally determines how a cell reacts. A comparative genome and transcriptome analysis of the same sam...
DATE: Sept 22, 2015TIME: 9:00am PDT, 12:00PM EDTHeart failure is a complex syndrome and affects over 5.1 Million Americans today with approximately 500,000 new heart failure cases each year. ...
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a sensitive, label-free technique that detects mass changes due to biomolecular interactions on a surface. This versatile method has been used to evaluate t...
DATE: September 17, 2015TIME: 7:30AM PDT, 10:30AM EDTAs technology advances and globalization develops, our way of life has become more dependent on energy sources to power our everyday activ...
Synthetic biology—the design and construction of new biological parts, devices, and systems, and the redesign of natural biological systems for useful purposes—is contributing sus...
In this interactive session, Derek Lowe will be taking questions from the audience in an informal discussion on his work in drug discovery, and his take on the current pharma landscape. Moder...
Nanotechnology, the engineering and manufacture of materials at the atomic and molecular scale, is used at BIND Therapeutics to develop novel Accurin™ nanomedicines that utilize cytotoxic age...
Humans are colonized by vast numbers of symbiotic microorganisms whose metabolisms are inextricably intertwined with our own. To understand how chemical transformations performed by the human...
The process by which observations in the laboratory or the clinic are transformed into demonstrably useful interventions that tangibly improve human health is frequently termed "translation."...
Learning Objectives for this presentation -
(1) Understand how human genetics can contribute to drug discovery and development.
(2) Understand the role of biomarkers and clinical proof-...
Recent evidence demonstrating the importance of structural complexity in advancing compounds to the clinic points to the need for enhancing small molecule screening collections with sp3-rich ...
Genome editing technologies, including the CRISPR/Cas9 system, allow for precise and corrective molecular modifications to treat the underlying cause of genetic diseases. Editas Medicine is d...
As a computational scientist I have been fortunate to work with many collaborators to generate biological data to train and test my models. We are in a position with increasing amounts of dat...
One of the challenges in sustaining innovation in computational molecular design is the need to harness and deliver promising solutions irrespective of their source, without creating new soft...
The antibiotic pipeline is broken, with a dearth of new antibiotics, a collapse in pharmaceutical company research1, and the exhaustion of chemical diversity contained in pharma libraries. "T...
DATE: September 15, 2015TIME: 10:00AM Pacific time, 1:00PM Eastern timeThe breadth of instruments available for quantitative PCR (qPCR) has continued to grow in the past 5-10 years. With ...
Chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) is an established technology, which has demonstrated great sensitivity and specificity for detecting genome-wide copy number variants (CNVs). CMA represe...
