Learn about the latest medical breakthroughs by participating in webinars on topics surrounding disease, prevention and treatment in accordance with the latest research in health and medicine. Updates encompass a biological, psychological and sociological understanding of health.
Over the last few years, the space of advanced in vitro models has grown dramatically as researchers look to better mimic the in vivo environment within inexpensive and high throughput in vi...
MicroRNAs (miRs) are small non-coding RNAs whose expression is altered in several types of human cancers. Recent evidence supports their inter-cellular transfer through extracellular vesicle...
Single-cell mass cytometry identifies mechanisms of resistance to immunotherapy in AML 6:30–7:00 am PDT Presented By: Shelley Herbrich, PhD Understanding CD19 negative relapse followin...
This talk will describe the role of the clinical lab in advancing health equity. It will define the gaps in equitable access to lab testing and how that impacts patient care. We will also co...
The World Health Organization (WHO) classified monkeypox as a zoonosis, that is, a disease that is transmitted from animals to humans. Since early May 2022, many instances of monkeypox have...
Cortical circuits often receive multiple inputs from upstream populations with non-overlapping stimulus tuning. Both the feedforward and recurrent architectures of the receiving cortical lay...
Advanced cancer patients, individuals that have a <50% chance of 5 year-survival and have exhausted standard of care options, are often seeking for innovative therapies. These drugs may b...
Rare disease affects 30 million people in the United States, with nearly 50% of cases affecting children. Because nearly 80% of rare diseases are genetic, advancements in genomic testing are...
This presentation is about a client-focused approach used to find an all synthetic ligand which is developed into an affinity adsorbent – followed by working with the client to develop...
Moving the needle on legalization, the cannabis industry has seen significant growth in the past year. However, this growth has had its dampeners, such as THC potency inflation and rampant l...
Deep–Brain Stimulation (DBS) has become an effective means of treating a variety of neurological conditions. Most DBS systems work are "open-loop," and apply constant stimula...
Pharmacogenomics has had rapid implementation over the past decade, with recent growth in application in oncology, mental health, solid organ transplantation, and more. There has been much f...
It has been noted by many in the community that for Precision Medicine to become a transformative reality, the underlying DNA and RNA sequence data have to become more precise. In my talk, I...
While the frequency of pandemic threats seems to be increasing, we fortunately have new tools and technologies to make vaccines with more precision and speed and that support a more proactiv...
The receptor binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein mediates viral attachment to ACE2 receptor, and is a major determinant of host range and a dominant target of neutraliz...
Behavior in complex environments requires decisions that flexibly combine stimulus representations with context, goals, and memory. Two key aspects of such cognitive flexibility are the retr...
Many commercially promising proteins are difficult-to-express (DTE) in living cells and are lost before an industrial production process can be established. Cell-free protein expression (CFP...
Vaccines have played a major role in protecting human health as one of the key means of controlling infectious diseases. More than 20 high-risk diseases can be currently prevented through va...
The transfer of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARG) to pathogenic microbes is a major concern in modern medicine. Antibiotic therapies are often rendered ineffective by horizontal acquisiti...
Veterinary drugs are commonly used chemicals to improve the growth and health outcomes of farm animals raised for human consumption. However, improper use of vet-drugs in animal farming can...
Single cell isolation is a necessary step for a variety of applications from developing productive, stable cell lines for biologics manufacturing to developing CRISPR edited iPSCs for diseas...
Learning Objectives: 1. Understand how the outcome of PD-1 blockade is a summation of increased Teffector activity and increased Treg suppressive activity 2. Explain how PD-1 blockade leads...
Targeted sequencing has many applications in cancer biomarker research, carrier screening and inherited disorders, drug development, mitochondrial DNA variant detection, human ID and paterni...
Antibody–drug conjugates (ADC) are targeted therapies that are designed to deliver highly potent cytotoxic agents to specific tumor cells saving normal tissue. They combined a monoclon...
Centriole assembly requires a small number of conserved proteins. The precise pathway of centriole assembly has been difficult to study, as the lack of any one of the core assembly proteins&...
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is used to determine spatial relationships where we can identify the localization of target proteins in specific regions and cells of a tissue. IHC has been the go...
Enigmatic and often vilified, viruses are now known to play important and possibly indispensable roles in the biology and ecology of cellular organisms. Evidence of viral impacts are everywh...
Over the last few years, the space of advanced in vitro models has grown dramatically as researchers look to better mimic the in vivo environment within inexpensive and high throughput in vi...
