The NIH BRAIN Initiative aims to develop new tools and neurotechnologies to transform our understanding of brain function in health and disease. That knowledge is critical to enable novel the...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by SARS-CoV-2, is spreading rapidly across the world and was announced as a “global pandemic” by the World Health Organization (WHO) o...
Pathogen detection and surveillance have become a high priority in both healthcare and environmental settings for the safety of patients and the general public. The COVID-19 pandemic highlig...
Advances in DNA sequencing, based upon massively parallel sequencing, has resulted in dramatic advances in DNA sequence output in the past few years. It is now possible to generate terrabases...
The development of cell and gene therapies faces immense pressure in terms of time and cost. Advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) demand stringent quality control measures to ensure s...
Mammalian mucosal niches are colonized by a complex ecosystem of viruses, bacteria and fungi termed the microbiome. Unlike the gut microbiome, the vaginal microbiome is composed of small num...
Background: Haemophilus influenzae is the causative agent of multiple human disease conditions among multiple sites in the human body. Underlying genetic mechanisms are elusive, particularly...
Respiratory viral infections remain a leading cause of medical visits and can contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality. Influenza, together with pneumonia, is the leading infectiou...
The evolution of clinical trial design in oncology reflects the current clinical paradigm of personalized medicine, weighing both histology and molecularly-defined biomarkers as the pillars...
Microbial biofilms form on all aquatic surfaces and can harbor pathogenic bacteria. In the aquaculture industry, Flavobacteria species can cause serious diseases and lead to high mortality....
Microbial communities include distinct lineages of closely related organisms which have proved challenging to separate in metagenomic assembly. Challenges include the existence of highly rel...
NGS Bioinformatics software has come of age. Our workflows need software solutions that don’t only carry out the correct calculations to give the correct results reliably and unambiguo...
Learning Objectives: 1. Understand the functionality and digestibility of starches at high heating temperatures as measured jointly by RVA 4800 and DSC 2. Acquire new knowledge on the behavi...
Next-generation sequencing is transforming scientific research and testing. Thanks to large-scale cancer projects (e.g. The Cancer Genome Atlas - TCGA), the accumulated knowledge is now used...
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...
Learning Objectives: 1. Discuss the methods used to diagnose COVID-19. 2. Define the preventive approaches to COVID-19. 3. Discuss the treatment strategies for COVID-19....
The global pandemic has increased focus and scrutiny on molecular diagnostic assay development, resulting in a need for assays that provide quick results while delivering expected performanc...
Image analysis in a real-world situation rarely involves solving a single unchanging problem. Modern tools need to be flexible and adaptable not only to solve todays problems but to support...
