University: is an institution of higher education and research which awards academic degrees. Universities typically provide undergraduate education and postgraduate education.
Psychiatric diagnosis is inherently difficult, due to the lack of clear biomarkers or any other objective assessment. Although quantitative, the psychometric scales employed during the psychi...
Complex animal behavior is produced by dynamic interactions between discrete regions of the brain. As such, defining functional connections between brain regions is critical in gaining a full...
98% of small molecules and 100% of large molecules do not cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Biologics, including therapeutic antibodies (e.g. anti-amyloid antibodies), have been at the for...

GPCRs constitute the largest receptor family in the human genome. Over the years they have proven themselves to be druggable targets accounting for about 1/3 of all drugs on the market today....
There is an acute shortage of organs due to disease, trauma, congenital defects, and most importantly, age related maladies. The synthetic materials used in tissue engineering applications to...
Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of infant mortality and morbidity worldwide. Both preterm labor and neonatal injuries have been linked to inflammation. Of all mediators of inflammati...
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent the single largest class of druggable targets in the human genome. Of the 390 or so druggable and non-olfactory human GPCRs there exist many whic...
Pharmacogenomics has emerged as an early use case of precision medicine. Delivering this new clinical data to clinicians in a ready to use format can be challenging. This talk wil...

The field of melanoma has been transformed by the parallel development of effective immune and targeted therapies. There is now strong evidence of cross-talk between oncogenic signaling...
The path form biomarker discovery to conversion to a clinically useful companion diagnostic test presents many challenges. The talk will outline the regulatory requirements to developing a su...
Heart failure (HF) is a major problem for our contemporary societies in terms of prevalence, mortality and cost. Natriuretic peptides are recognized biomarkers for the diagnosis of HF but als...
In the last years a number of advanced nanotechnologies have been proposed developed for the administration of drugs (nanomedicines for drug delivery), in order to provide possibilities...
Rapid, accurate estimation of relative ligand affinities offers the potential to allow computational methods to direct drug design and development. Towards this goal we have developed t...
Precision medicine allows for prediction of drug response and tailoring drug therapy based on genetic variability. This talk will provide examples of precision medicine initiatives at the Uni...
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the Methyl CpG Binding Protein 2 (MECP2) gene. In mouse models of RTT, deficits in long-term potentiation (LTP) at...
The distinction between "complementary" and "companion" diagnostics tests confuse many physicians and healthcare professionals. Panelists Professor Thomas Webster (Northea...
Therapies that activate the host immune system have shown tremendous promise for a wide variety of solid tumors. However, in most cancer types, fewer than half of patients respond to these th...
Most cell cycle assays amount to counting cells and/or measuring DNA content and deconvolving the resulting histogram into G1, S, G2+M, or G1, S, G2, and M. Considerable effort has been...
