In her presentation Prof. Staebler will share data generated by new Genomic Assessment Metrics (GIM) software for HRD assessment, and Oncomine Comprehensive Assay Plus. The samples tested we...
The last decade has seen a significant shift in the way that mammalian cells are used in biomedical science. Researchers are increasingly turning from simple, reductionist recombinant cells t...
Background: The NMI applies miniaturized multiplex immunoassays for more than two decades. At the NMI commercially available multiplex immunoassays are applied for sample screening as well a...
Recent advances in high-throughput single-cell transcriptomics and epigenomics methods allow to measure the expression of thousands of genes and identify the gene transcriptional regulation...
There have been an increasing number of successful human gene therapy clinical trials, and in particular gene delivery vehicles or vectors based on the adeno-associated virus (AAV) have enabl...
Over the past 6 years, a number of agents, all mechanistically different, have been approved with a statistically significant survival benefit as monotherapy for treatment of metastatic castr...
Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) is an immunotherapy that employs living immune cells to target and destroy cancer cells. However, the inhibitory tumor microenvironment features several obstacles...
As viral threats continue to emerge, viral detection assays are important not only for recognizing if a virus is present, but also for surveillance and variant characterization. Accurate det...
The routine analysis of steroid hormones is critical in understanding the function of metabolic pathways that impact sexual characteristics, inflammation and blood pressure. Liquid Chromatog...
The ability of single-cell RNA-Seq (scRNA-Seq) to measure the transcriptional basis of heterogeneity between individual cells is transforming biomedical research. It enables the precise &lsq...
HIV currently infects almost 40 million people worldwide. The virus is responsible for ~2 million new infections per year and ~1 million deaths. Like all retroviruses, HIV integrates a viral...
The cytolytic activity of Immune cells toward cancer cells is finely regulated through several pathways and receptors. Although end point assays have been routinely used to measure cell kill...
