Stay informed on developments in cancer and oncology diagnosis, prevention and treatment through these curated webinars. As the race toward a cure for cancer continues, advances in cancer research are constantly revealed as innovation in the field of oncology progresses.
The analysis of circulating biomarkers in a patient’s blood holds significant potential for early disease detection and disease monitoring. Circulating DNA is the most commonly studied...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer among Americans, and the second deadliest. Its pathogenesis results from an interplay between environmental factors that influence biol...
This webinar covers our latest solutions for improved culture of primary and xenotransplanted tumor cells. Get insights into dissociation of fresh tumor samples into viable single-cell suspe...
Learning Objectives 1. Discuss Neoantigen Mechanisms: Gain a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms by which neoantigens are generated and recognized by the immune system, including t...
Background: Despite the immunogenicity and safety profile of dendritic cell (DC) vaccines, the importance of vaccine-induced antigen-specific T cell responses is unclear across clinical tria...
Changes in transcriptional regulation are thought to be one of the key drivers of carcinogenesis. Although next-generation sequencer revolutionized transcriptome analysis, there are limitati...
Learning Objectives 1. Identify 3 obstacles that inhibit the immune cell response to cancer. 2. List 3 aspects of T cells antitumor function that can be improved with costimulatory signals....
Cas9 based therapeutics have the potential to revolutionize the treatment of genetic diseases. However, safe and effective methods for delivering Cas9 protein, gRNA and donor DNA need to be...
With over 265,000 new cases per year and over 50,000 deaths, breast and ovarian cancers represent a significant health burden in the USA. Prior work has demonstrated that CD4 helper T c...
A subset of women with ovarian cancer will present with an apparently isolated adnexal mass. Many of these women will have early stage ovarian cancer with a relatively good prognosis. Unfortu...
PacBio Sequencing simultaneously provides long sequence reads, high consensus accuracy, minimal sequence bias, and methylation detection. I will highlight new advances and updates on applying...
Metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) refractory to secondary hormonal treatments such as enzalutamide or abiraterone acetate are the most lethal of prostate cancers. In thi...
Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) is an immunotherapy that employs living immune cells to target and destroy cancer cells. However, the inhibitory tumor microenvironment features several obstacles...
Preliminary data indicate the presence of inflammatory derangements in AML, necessitating a comprehensive examination of inflammatory effector cytokines involved in AML pathogenesis and ther...
The role played by inflammatory hypoxia in biology and treatment of solid tumors will be reviewed. The opportunity to enhance all forms of current anti-tumor therapies through tumor re-...
Although about one in every seven men in the developed world will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, the mortality rate remains low with a 99% five-year survival rate for lo...
Antibodies are extremely valuable and ubiquitous tools in life science research, but in spite of their widespread use in immunoassays over the past several decades, there is still a lack of u...
Mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor gene (EGFR) and the known Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene (KRAS) are significant drivers in the development of non-small-cell lung cancer...
Recent work has identified epigenomic features of distal regulatory elements to be dynamic and defining indicators of cellular specification and transformation. Of particular relevance is our...
Advances in cancer research have improved our understanding of the complex interactions between tumors, their microenvironment and the host immune response. The evolving research field of im...
There is considerable research being conducting on the topic of health disparities. It is important to understand why these health disparities exist as well as what is contributing to so man...
This session provides an introduction to the MiSeq i100 Series, the simplest, fastest benchtop sequencer. Giving a brief overview of the revolutionary technology that's been built into the n...
Across oncology applications, from research to molecular testing and pharmaceutical development, the ability to identify potentially actionable genetic alterations and exploit the molecular...
Cancer disparities among persons of African descent are driven by both biological and nonbiological factors. There is evidence in breast cancer that psychosocial factors (environment, socioe...
In the last two decades, large amount of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and -omics data has been generated in the field of immuno-oncology. Generating hypotheses by analyzing hundreds if no...
Learning Objectives: 1. Understand the evolving epidemiology of prostate cancer in the the US and globally, and the excess burden of disease borne by men of African ancestry 2. Describe the...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and is the third leading cause of ...
