Multiplexing IHC is a technique that is increasing in demand as more and more researchers and physicians are being tasked with doing more with less. With multiplexing, you have the advantage...
The Human Neutrophil Lipocalin (HNL) also called NGAL, Lipocalin 2 etc. is produced by and secreted from epithelial cells and neutrophil granulocytes. In blood HNL exists in several molecula...
Many current technologies used in drug discovery and preclinical development programmes typically involve multi-step operations, extensive hands-on time, and lengthy liquid handling processe...
Pre-clinical research on cannabis use for arthritis has established clear mechanisms of action, but a few potential problems. While clinical studies are sparse, several surveys of cannabis p...
Pharmacogenomics has emerged as an early use case of precision medicine. Delivering this new clinical data to clinicians in a ready to use format can be challenging. This talk wil...
Short oligonucleotides are an emerging platform for the development of biopharmaceuticals to treat various diseases, including those that are inaccessible to small molecule- and protein-base...
Learning Objectives: 1. Describe and discuss some of the unique aspect of in vivo studies. 2. Identify specific study practices to ensure high quality study data and animal welfare. 3. Discu...
Marine organisms produce a wide variety of primary and secondary metabolites with unique scaffolds that are biologically active. Manzamines are marine-derived polycyclic alkaloids. Approxima...
This presentation explores the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of β-lactam antibiotic dosing, particularly in ICU patients. To optimize PK/PD targets, two strategies are...
Nucleic acid analysis is crucial for the diagnostics of infectious diseases such as COVID-19. CRISPR/Cas technology, beyond its broad application in gene editing, features, in this regard, a...
Advances in tissue-based technologies over the past few years have created opportunities to identify patterns that can be used as biomarkers and prognostic indicators for different disease s...
De novo gene synthesis and protein expression are established technologies that can give access to nearly any target DNA or protein sequence, allowing for engineering of biologics. In this p...
Novel immunotherapy has revolutionized the landscape of cancer therapy in multiple tumor types since Ipilimumab, the first ICB agent, was approved for the treatment of metastatic melanoma is...
Ninety percent of therapeutic agents reaching clinical trial fail to reach entry to market, with safety concerns being a major cause for failures in phase I and II clinical trials. Drug-indu...
G Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) are therapeutic targets for many medications used to treat a variety of disease states. A large number of genetic variants have been identified in the gen...
Central Nervous System (CNS) therapies have significantly progressed in the last decade, propelled by emerging treatment modalities including gene therapies. Neurological indications remain...
In this project, we optimized a high-throughput fluorescent-based assay to assess transporter activity by measuring uptake of the substrate, ASP+ 4-(4-(dimethylamino)styryl)-N-methylpyridi...
Traditional liver perfusion procedures – used to isolate hepatocytes – are difficult to perform and require extensive training, steady hands and long-standing experience. In this...
Surface plasmon resonance is a real-time and label-free technique that offers low sample consumption and high throughput when compared to other biophysical techniques and has been widely ado...
How can labs increase their sample throughput and pipetting accuracy and reproducibility without investing in an expensive automated liquid handler? Electronic pipettes are a cost-effective...
Background and aim: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are vital membrane proteins involved in cellular and physiological processes, including sensory perception, signaling, neurotransmissi...
Current cancer research is hindered by the limitations of existing experimental systems, which fall short in demonstrating concordance with human studies. In this way, we aim to develop mode...
Globally there has been a constant rise in the population suffering from cardiovascular diseases mostly due to metabolic complications. We have made use of two high throughput omics-based ap...
