Vaccination and infection are two different paths to immunity. Understanding human immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 RNA vaccines is of interest for a panoply of reasons. mRNA vaccines have dem...
In this session we will use a set of reads enriched for viral sequences and sequences from wastewater treatment plants. Specifically the aim is to assemble whole SARS-CoV-2 genomes from such...
As the pandemic continues to evolve, new tools are needed to fight it. The greatest needs revolve around the ability to screen asymptomatic individuals for COVID-19 and to simultaneously tes...
SARS-CoV-2 testing is now facing increasing challenges in the face of an ongoing pandemic with the emergence of new variants and waning vaccine immunity. Increasing evidence supports the cor...
Since late 2020, several prominent SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern have emerged, harboring specific mutations which increase viral transmissibility Delta variant) and which appear to reduce t...
This presentation “SARS-CoV-2 Related Workflow and Solutions: Detection and Genotyping” will focus on strategies for the testing and detection of SARS-CoV-2, including multiplexe...
One significant challenge with SARS-CoV-2 wastewater monitoring is the lack of optimized and standardized sample processing steps, from sample collection to RNA detection. Viral concentratio...
Severe SARS-CoV-2 infection often leads to development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), with profound pulmonary patho-histological changes post-mortem. In this study, we utiliz...

Join me, an applied epidemiologist with boots on the ground, as we review key discoveries learned from the reopening of sports, entertainment and the arts. The four pillars of reopening incl...
We use COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and mortality data and a deterministic SEIR (susceptible, exposed, infectious and recovered) compartmental framework to model possible trajectories o...
We’ll discuss the rapid discovery efforts to identify human monoclonal antibody drugs that protect against COVID-19. We will review the technologies used to find antibodies, the optima...
I will discuss the development of the “Midnight” panel for faster, simpler, and less expensive SARS-CoV-2 genome sequencing. We show that using a multiplexed set of primers in co...
SARS-CoV-2 is an emergent virus. Specifically how it will adapt to human hosts and populations with growing immunity is unknown. Coronaviruses acquire substitutions more slowly than other RN...
Date: October 12, 2021 Time: 9:00am (PDT), 12:00pm (EDT) SCIEX’s next-generation Biologics Explorer software is an innovative platform for the comprehensive and deep characterization o...
Date: October 12, 2021 Time: 8:00am (PDT), 11:00am (EDT) CRISPR-Cas9 is a nuclease-based genome editing system which has seen exponential growth in adoption with broad applications from basi...
Summary: Cancer neoantigens are highly specific to the tumor, potently immunogenic and can be targeted by both vaccines and engineered cellular therapies. This talk will introduce the defini...
Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive form of breast cancer, characterized by the characteristic lack of receptors such as human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2), t...
Across oncology applications, from research to molecular testing and pharmaceutical development, the ability to identify potentially actionable genetic alterations and exploit the molecular...
Cells in their natural environment are surrounded by a complex extracellular matrix that provides structure and functional cues to the surrounding cells. Hydrogels can be used to approximate...
The lack of diverse participation in clinical research and trials has been a long-standing national problem that has been brought to the forefront due to COVID 19. In cancer research less th...
Date: October 7, 2021 Time: 8:00am (PDT), 11:00am (EDT) To combat the COVID-19 pandemic, comprehensive characterization of humoral and cellular immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 is essential. A...
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...
Date: October 07, 2021 Time: 6:00am (PDT), 9:00am (EDT) Join us for a comprehensive review and discussion of the basic fundamentals of weighing and moisture determination, including the infl...
One of the central tenants of biology is that our genetics—our genotype—influences the physical characteristics we manifest—our phenotype. But with more than 25,000 human g...
Data suggests that genetics comprises 42-58% of the prostate cancer risk. GWAS has found about 43% of the risk SNPs in Blacks and European Americans. Most of the SNPs that have been discover...
