The Whiteson lab uses culture-independent metagenomics, metabolomics, and ecological statistics along with hypothesis driven, reductionist microbiology to answer questions about how bacteria...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Despite an overall good performance on all laboratory procedures used to detect monoclonal (M) proteins or paraproteins, mis- or false-diagnoses have been seen using electrophoresis methods,...
HIV drug resistance (HIVDR) can emerge with use of antiretroviral (ARV) drugs for HIV treatment and prevention. The increasing prevalence of drug-resistant HIV strains poses a serious threat...
Molecular diagnostic assay development and design is no simple task, and several factors affect the performance and usability of a test. Diagnostic companies can enhance assay stability and...
Quantitative genetic analysis plays a critical role in the research and development of novel biotherapeutics. As a sensitive and precise method for quantitating specific nucleic acid targets...
Join us to explore recent advancements and applications of isothermal amplification techniques, such as LAMP, RCA, and RPA. We will compare these methods with traditional PCR, discuss their...
While a decade ago the prognosis of lung cancer patients was very disappointing, nowadays a substantial evolution is driven by targeted treatments and immuno-oncology. With extended, scaled...
Bloodstream infections (BSIs) remain a critical challenge in clinical care, where every hour of delay in diagnosis can significantly impact patient outcomes. This webinar explores findings f...
