Date: October 11, 2022 Time: 7:00am (PDT), 10:00am (EDT), 4:00pm (CEST) Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the leading health threats facing humankind. With AMR, microbes can withstand...
Genetic biomarkers have become increasingly important for disease prediction, early disease detection and progression, and options for intervention. Tumor biopsies are commonly used as sourc...
One of the central tenets of biology is that our genetics—our genotype—influences the physical characteristics we manifest—our phenotype. But with more than 25,000 human ge...
Precision medicine is transforming cancer care, with next-generation sequencing (NGS) enabling the simultaneous analysis of multiple genomic alterations with therapeutic implications. Howeve...
Variation in gene expression among cell types, tissues, and organisms is commonly examined by reverse transcription quantitative PCR, or RT-qPCR. In this process, RNA is isolated from sample...
The future of cancer care is contingent on better understanding of molecular, clinical, and outcome data. This can be achieved by leveraging collaborative affiliations and networks locally a...
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is an important technology that reveals gene expression differences between different cell types. Yet scRNA-seq data can be challenging to analyze and...

Successful cancer patient advocacy has many components. Patients and survivors are in the best position to tell their stories and advocate for better care and treatment. However, with few su...
Mathematical methods can be used to study evolutionary processes associated with carcinogenesis. Selection, mutation, and drift all play a role in cancer dynamics and cancer treatment. I wil...
Gene regulatory networks are representations of the relationship between transcription factors and their target genes. By modeling gene regulatory networks, it is possible to identify change...
Breast cancer is the number one cause of cancer in women. Although many risk factors for breast cancer have been identified, only some are modifiable. Since 2004, incidence rates have been r...
In real-world evidence (RWE), temporal shifts in clinical knowledge and practice need to be adjusted for treatment effect assessment. We use electronic health records (EHR) data to 1) assess...
Bromodomains (BRDs) are evolutionarily conserved protein domains that interact with acetylated histones and set off a chain of events that includes recruiting transcription factors and other...
