Advances in cell and molecular biology have catapulted our understanding of the science of life from the basic understanding of how cells and the components of cells interact within living organisms. Remain up to date on recent discoveries and revelations through these webinars.
Gene therapy is defined as the treatment of disease by transfer of genetic material into cells, to prevent, treat and potentially even cure a disease. Gene therapies can work by several mech...
The manipulation of the genome to study disease, evaluate drug targets and to stratify patient populations is now a widely accepted concept in the field. At Horizon Discovery, genome engineer...
Disease-specific human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) represent a new chance to unravel cellular and molecular mechanisms of neurological diseases. Along this line, we were among the first to...
Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) and their derivatives are increasingly being used in industry to gain a competitive edge in drug discovery and a new wave of biotechnology start-up compan...
Metastatic prostate cancer (mPC) is a phenotypically diverse disease with poor responses to immune based therapeutics. Development of immunotherapeutic strategies for mPC is hampered by the...
Despite FDA-approved vaccines and antivirals, seasonal and pandemic influenza remains a serious threat associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. The present modalities and vaccine...
Cellular processes are orchestrated by a large number of biomolecules in a spatially and temporally coordinated manner within a tiny volume. To uncover the underlying organizational principle...
Biopharmaceuticals produced with mammalian cells are the key drivers for the medication of former untreatable diseases. The development of their production processes is still challenging bec...
The quest to decipher the complex molecular events underpinning cell polarity and organelle segregation during eukaryotic cell division presents a formidable challenge. A predominant focus o...
Since the establishment of reverse genetics techniques to manipulate the influenza virus genome, it has been possible to study viral molecular signatures responsible for virulence, and the ge...
Demand for high-value biologics, a rapidly growing pipeline, and pressure from competition, time-to-market and regulators, necessitate novel biomanufacturing approaches, including Quality by...
One would think that getting the diagnosis after fifteen years would end the journey. How does your work at the bench affect patients and how can you change lives through cell therapy? ...
Alongside intense efforts to exploit T-cells as immunotherapies for cancer (e.g. checkpoint inhibitors, CAR-T, T-cell metabolism), researchers are increasingly considering other immune cell t...
This presentation provides a brief introduction to biotech entrepreneurship including factors that are pertinent to biotech entrepreneurship and different myths and facts that exist. You will...
The generation of durable CD8+ T cell memory following infection or vaccination is essential for protection against future encounters with the same or related pathogens. This process has tra...
A fundamental question in neuronal development is how growth cone cytoskeletal dynamics are coordinated to promote accurate axonal navigation. To address this question, we focus on microtubul...
The identity of somatic and pluripotent cells can be epigenetically reprogrammed and forced to adapt a new functional cell state by different methods and distinct combinations of exogenous fa...
Contractile non-muscle cells, including smooth muscle and myoepithelial cells, provide the mechanical forces required for tissue homeostasis in numerous organ systems. For example, smooth mus...
There are many methods of nucleic acid isolation. Each technology offers different approaches of purification of the template. However, it is important to control carry over of “proces...
Learning Objectives: 1. Understand methods of isolating and enriching exosomes along with their pros/cons of the different techniques 2. What do we mean when we talk about subtyping, and wha...
Einstein researcher Robert Singer, Ph.D., discusses a breakthrough in microscopy that is allowing scientists to track messenger RNA in living cells in real time. The study, published in the S...
Integrated protocols and live-cell analysis solutions for different 3D tumor modelsIn the search for greater clinical translation, cancer researchers are increasingly turning to more comp...
There are a number of free and independent scholarly publishing tools available that save journal authors time and ensure research is found, read and tracked. In this talk, we will explore th...
Currently over 95 % of pharmaceutical products and transport fuels are derived from petroleum. Sustainable alternatives are critical to achieving net-zero emissions without detriment to qual...
