The disposition of antibody-based therapeutics is generally determined by both target-mediated and non-target processes, the latter being an often-overlooked aspect. Target-independent liabi...
A unique opportunity to deepen understanding of how labs can contribute to antibiotic stewardship efforts by running efficient Procalcitonin testing, yielding significant impacts on patient...
Organisms sense and respond to changes in the environment through signal transduction pathways. Pathways like highly conserved Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) pathways are composed o...
A microphysiological system is a 3D in vitro model that mimics human tissue environments with high physiological relevance. This approach enhances our understanding of disease mechanisms, dr...
Numerous biomedical applications have been described for liver-humanized mouse models, such as in drug metabolism or drug-drug interaction (DDI) studies. However, the strong enlargement of t...
One of the primary limitations in drug discovery and toxicology research is the lack of good model systems between the single cell level and animal or human systems. This is especially true...
Super-resolution microscopy, or nanoscopy, enables the use of fluorescent-based molecular localization tools to study molecular structure at the nanoscale level in the intact cell. Analysis...
The field of carrier screening has rapidly developed over the past several years, in terms of technology, guidelines for testing, and patient knowledge. This webinar aims to educate the audi...
In quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), multiplexing increases sample throughout, while reducing the time and cost associated with having separate reactions for each target. Furthe...
The effect of long-term mixed-waste contamination, particularly uranium and nitrate, on the microbial community in the terrestrial subsurface at the Oak Ridge Integrated Field Research Chall...
The effects of spaceflight on those beneficial microbes that associate with animal tissues is an emerging area in space biology, however, many questions persist regarding how homeostasis bet...
Trauma such as burn continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Gut barrier dysfunction is often implicated in post trauma complications. Intoxication at t...

In recent past respiratory seasons, the world witnessed a “tripledemic” of Influenza (flu), SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). In this presentation, I...
Bacterial vaginosis is a common cause of vaginal complaints, mainly of odor and discharge in women of reproductive age. BV is poorly understood and recurrence is frequent. More questions tha...
Apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 (APOE4) is the primary genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). APOE4 carriers, especially females, tend to develop gut dysbiosis earlier t...
The ongoing surge of clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 viruses in avian species has resulted in numerous spillover events into mammalian species including dairy cows and humans, posing a potential pandemi...
Candida auris is a serious emerging public health threat due to its multi-drug resistance and the ability to spread in healthcare facilities. In addition, it is challenging and time consumin...
Curious about how engineered polymerases are transforming the landscape of infectious disease diagnostics? Our speaker, Dr. Maja Studencka-Turski, will guide you through a comprehensive disc...
In the rapidly expanding landscape of molecular diagnostics, the focus is shifting from top to bottom, with a redirection from post-pandemic respiratory testing to developments in gastrointe...
The global demand for point-of-care testing (POCT) for diagnosing infectious diseases is growing. Bringing the test directly to the person needing the result greatly reduces the turn-around-...
