Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is a novel virus that causes COVID-19 and has considerable variability in clinical outcomes among infected patients. The GENCOV stu...
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a devastating effect on the health and well-being of the global population. A critical step in the fight against COVID-19 is effective clinical decisi...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a widespread global health concern, impacting approximately 10 million individuals annually. Beyond the initial acute phase, TBI often results in enduring neu...
Immunoassays and mass spectrometric assays are the two major methodologies in contemporary clinical chemistry laboratories. While immunoassays are highly automated and offer a faster turnaro...
Genomic profiling in various cancers has become standard of care today. Dr. Chandra will discuss the challenges and opportunities of precision oncology testing in community practice and...
In this webinar, we present a case study on Lynch syndrome (LS), a hereditary condition characterized by a high risk of colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, and other neoplasia that typica...
Screening for Down syndrome began with the question "How old will you be when you deliver?". If the pregnant woman answered 35 years of age or older, she was offered amniocent...
Numerous studies have shown that homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) is a genome-wide biomarker present in high grade ovarian and breast cancers. A cancer therapeutic class, PARP inhib...
The global pandemic has increased focus and scrutiny on molecular diagnostic assay development, resulting in a need for assays that provide quick results while delivering expected performanc...
This workshop will focus on the emerging variants and the diagnostic and surveillance strategies (genotyping assays complementing sequencing) for this, as well as the impending COVID-Flu int...
What does it take to develop a novel diagnostic medical device that can increase health equity globally? This keynote panel presentation will discuss a variety of challenges and successes th...
The Whiteson lab uses culture-independent metagenomics, metabolomics, and ecological statistics along with hypothesis driven, reductionist microbiology to answer questions about how bacteria...
The next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have led to shifting paradigms for hereditary cancers genetic testing. With the increasing sensitivity of new technologies and the reduction...
Lateral flow assays (LFA) are simple diagnostic tools that can be used to detect a variety of biomolecules that include biomarkers, pathogens, and environmental contaminants. Many industries...
In genomics, as in life, you need to be in the right place at the right time, and you need integrity, to be credible. Since the availability of the human genome sequence, there's been an...
We will discuss the Digital LightCycler System, a digital PCR (dPCR) system for DNA and RNA with 6-color capability for flexible, multiplexed biomarker detection. With advances in sensitivit...
In the next five years, the majority of clinical diagnostic labs competing to offer NGS oncology testing will be performing comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP). Yet scaling to CGP introduc...
Acute cough is one of the most common reasons for consulting in primary care thus driving considerable antibiotic use and health-care costs. Currently, identification of microbial etiology i...
When building your own infectious disease molecular panels there are many paths to consider. In this interview, we ask Marcus Cognetti and Dr. Ari Frenkel what approach is required to create...
