Globally, women are disproportionately affected by sexually transmitted infections (STI) including HIV. The immune system of the female reproductive tract (FRT) balances the unique role of p...
Vaccines have played a major role in protecting human health as one of the key means of controlling infectious diseases. More than 20 high-risk diseases can be currently prevented through va...
Pharmacogenomics has had rapid implementation over the past decade, with recent growth in application in oncology, mental health, solid organ transplantation, and more. There has been much f...
The human large intestine houses trillions of microorganisms which collectively form the highly diverse microbial community known as the gut microbiota. The gut microbiota performs many funct...
The receptor binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein mediates viral attachment to ACE2 receptor, and is a major determinant of host range and a dominant target of neutraliz...
The ever-increasing number of deaths along the U.S.-México border and the diversification in the demographic characteristics of the Latin American migrants, who perish in this region,...
The 21st Century Cures Act, along with the FDA's Real-World Evidence (RWE) framework, has established a foundation for incorporating real-world data (RWD) into regulatory decision-making...
Genomic imbalances or copy number variations (CNVs) are a major cause of pregnancy losses, fetal anomalies identified during prenatal period, congenital defects in newborn, dysmorphology and...
The microbiome signatures in the context of gynecologic cancers (endometrial and ovarian) and the potential for their clinical use will be discussed. The use of microfluidic technologies to i...
African American women face a lower risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer as compared to Caucasian-American women, yet they paradoxically face an increased breast cancer mortality hazar...
Single cell isolation is a necessary step for a variety of applications from developing productive, stable cell lines for biologics manufacturing to developing CRISPR edited iPSCs for diseas...
Learning Objectives: 1. Understand how the outcome of PD-1 blockade is a summation of increased Teffector activity and increased Treg suppressive activity 2. Explain how PD-1 blockade leads...
Deep–Brain Stimulation (DBS) has become an effective means of treating a variety of neurological conditions. Most DBS systems work are "open-loop," and apply constant stimula...
Progress developing immune-based treatments to treat the highly lethal pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) has lagged behind other cancer types. This may be due, in part, to a fibroinflam...
Sex and gender differences are apparent in health and disease and aduring aging. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a leading cause of death with pronounced sex and gender differences...
Behavior in complex environments requires decisions that flexibly combine stimulus representations with context, goals, and memory. Two key aspects of such cognitive flexibility are the retr...
The personalized treatment of each cancer patient with targeted therapies selected based on our understanding of the molecular biology of cancer has been the long-standing goal of......
While the frequency of pandemic threats seems to be increasing, we fortunately have new tools and technologies to make vaccines with more precision and speed and that support a more proactiv...
Learning Objectives: 1. The main focus will be on the actual steps of the post harvest process with the key monitoring points that impact flower quality. 2. The secondary takeaway would be t...
Centriole assembly requires a small number of conserved proteins. The precise pathway of centriole assembly has been difficult to study, as the lack of any one of the core assembly proteins&...
In this presentation I will describe results from a family study designed to identify the genetic cause for familial clustering of several early onset cancers. Data from next generatio...
Boston Children’s Hospital is developing the infrastructure needed for large-scale psychiatric research and treatment discovery. The Manton Center for Orphan Disease Research and...
The success of immune checkpoint blockade adds a new therapeutic category to the cancer therapy repertoire. Despite efforts made on cancer cell and immune cell interaction, how cancer cells i...
One role of theory is in guiding future experiments: What should we aim to measure? Which experimental results should we be surprised about? I will argue here that simple random networks mod...
The application of modeling tools to better understand and control bioprocess development and manufacturing has become a hot topic within the last few years. However, what do we actually nee...
Proteomics offers a deeper understanding of the protein events influencing cellular and biological function. However, identifying key regulated proteins and their implicated signaling pathway...
Traditionally, virology has been focused in studying the pathogenic effect of viruses. In the recent years, however, this perception is changing and viruses are being studied as mutualistic...
