Antibody-based therapeutics are helping patients across a wide range of disease areas, from cancer, such as Rituximab treatment of CD20-positive non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, to infectious di...

Controlling the spread of the 2019 novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and ensuring a return to 'normal' activities in a post-COVID world requires two complementary efforts: 1) Widespread a...

Acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) is a rare sun-shielded melanoma subtype associated with worse survival than cutaneous melanoma (CM), a more common form of skin cancer linked to exposure to u...

The IHME COVID-19 Projection Model has been two years in the making, and this talk will share details on how it works and what it says about our current point in the COVID pandemic as well a...

Clinical whole genome sequencing (cWGS) is rapidly gaining acceptance as cost is decreasing and success rates in identifying disease-causing variants are increasing. While the application of...

Recent FDA approval of the first Chimeric Antigen Receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy offers cancer patients more promise than ever for curative effects. However, many technical challenges in T c...

Those that fund and publish scientific data are actively proposing or requiring strategies to improve research conduct in the hopes of improving research outcomes and scientific deliverables....

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease affecting approximately 1 in 50,000 people worldwide. About 10% of these cases are found to have a hereditary component, bu...

Cell line screening studies require highly efficient protocols for studying many samples in parallel.  We have developed a lyse-and-go protocol for digital gene expression profiling of u...

Specialized aggregations of extracellular matrix called perineuronal nets (PNNs) appear during juvenile stages of development and surround primarily fast-spiking, parvalbumin (PV)-containing...

Random drug testing is used as a preventive and detection tool for drug or alcohol use, and medication compliance in the monitoring of regulatory and treatment compliance monitoring. Urine sc...

A hypoxic tumour microenvironment is a feature of solid tumours. Many tumour types contain high fractions of hypoxic tissue. The relationship between high levels of tumour hypoxia and a poor...

A rapidly growing number of viruses of lower eukaryotes have been reported in the past few decades. These have enhanced our understanding of virus evolution and diversity. Simultaneously, som...

Review the similarities and differences between apoptosis and necroptosis, with an introduction to new tools developed to activate effectors of necroptosis....

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)–CRISPR-associated protein 13 (Cas13) has been rapidly developed for nucleic-acid-based diagnostics by using its chara...

Our new cell-by-cell analysis module allows users to ‘count and classify’ heterogeneity in cell populations over time.This software uses novel algorithms to segment the HD pha...

The incidence of conditions such as diabetes, obesity, asthma, and cancer have increased substantially in the past 30 years. The human genome has not changed in that period of time, so the en...

There have been significant increases in emergency room visits across the US and delays in the ED leads to poor outcomes.  There is an association between waiting times and short term mo...

The capacity to generate disease-relevant cell populations from human pluripotent stem cells has tremendous potential for shedding light on human disease mechanisms. I will discuss basic prin...

Most Cannabis testing laboratories perform a variety of tests, full analysis for production QA/QC, and contract commercial testing, while others focus on extraction or purification only, or...

The aim of the lecture is to give an insight into the use of 3D liver micro tissues (3D liMTs) in drug discovery and translational safety. In translational toxicology, 3D LiMTs have a high i...

COVID-19 has developed into a crisis of global proportions. COVID-19 is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Key to SARS-CoV-2 therapeutic development is u...

At the global level, mobility is above pre-COVID levels, and mask use is at the lowest level since mid-March 2020. The move away from social distancing combined with the spread of the BA.5 O...

Biomarkers are critical tools for all stages of cancer research, from drug development through clinical applications. Cancer is fundamentally a disease of unregulated cell growth and circumv...

Recent advancements in the precision medicine field have presented a great promise to provide innovative solutions to pharmaceutical and healthcare industry to help transform medicine. By fin...

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...

For many decades, cell lines have been cultured in standard CO2 incubators at “normal” atmospheric oxygen concentrations of about 21%. But oxygen concentrations in the human or an...
