Over a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, key vulnerable populations in the United States and across the world lack access to effective vaccines. IDRI has developed technology that addresses s...
Vaccines to prevent COVID-19 were developed within 1 year after the identification of SARS-CoV-2 as the causative virus. There are now 3 vaccines that are FDA approved via Emergency Use Auth...
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...
At UC Davis we have implemented rapid, inexpensive, high throughput testing for SARS-Cov-2 using technology repurposed from the agricultural biotechnology sector. As part of Healthy Davis To...
Despite a continuous decline of corona virus cases, the broad rollout of multiple vaccines, and the start of a return to normalcy, concerns of SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks continue to linger on the...
The global pandemic of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by Severe Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has highlighted the importance of surveillance efforts to closel...
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...
Hawaiʻi is one of Earth’s most beautiful, yet plastic polluted, marine environments. This presentation will provide an overview of microplastic research in Hawaiian beach sand, sea tur...
Date: April 9, 2021 Time: 9:00am PDT There are tick-borne diseases beyond what causes Lyme disease. Different geographies have differing prevalence’s of tick-borne infections. In the n...
The adeno-associated virus (AAV) has evolved overlapping genes to maximize its genome use, as with the recently-discovered ORF in the cap gene which encodes a membrane-associated accessory p...
Date: April 8, 2021 Time: 11:00am (PDT), 3:00pm (EDT) Pneumonia is a deadly condition with clinical outcomes highly dependent on prompt and appropriate therapy. Diagnosis of pneumonia is cha...
Advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) are ‘living drugs’ that have proven highly effective at treating diseases, such as cancer, that were once thought untreatable. As &lsq...
DATE: April 08, 2021 TIME: 08:00am PDT Multi-omics involves the use of different data modalities to study multiple “omes”, such as the genome, transcriptome, epigenome, and/or t...
Cell therapies, including chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, are emerging as promising treatments, especially for hematological malignancies. However, many challenges remain in...
Recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) and lentiviral vectors (LV) are vehicles for direct delivery of therapeutic genes to patients' cells. In the coming years, the use of AAV and LV...
In this fireside chat, we’ll discuss how gene editing protocols can benefit from long-read sequencing at various stages to optimize and enhance vector integrity, which cannot be addres...
The pre-packed disposable chromatography market is increasing rapidly. There is a growing need for manufacturing flexibility and single-use systems. You are invited to find out more about wh...
