Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a soft tissue cancer commonly arising in muscle and is the most common soft tissue cancer in children. Patients with metastatic RMS have a poor prognosis that has n...
With the revolution of lateral flow assay use in Point-of-Care and Over-the-Counter testing resulting from Covid-19, saliva has become an attractive sample matrix. To continue to grow latera...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Image-based high-content screening (HCS) involving cancer cell lines grown in conventional two-dimensional (2D) cell culture, has provided a cornerstone assay for searching new agents to tre...
Personalized medicine has beomce a paradigm in lung cancer management; ~ 25–30% of advanced lung cancer patients could benefit from a targeted therapy. Several guidelines currently end...
Imaging offers a means to draw upon the growing body of high-throughput molecular data to better understand the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms of embryonic development; however...
Background: Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) and structural rearrangement (PGT-SR) have been widely used within indications of previous miscarriages, repeated implantat...
Cancer is a heterogeneous but related group of diseases wherein cells in certain tissues of the body proliferate uncontrollably and eventually invade adjacent and distant tissues. The oldest...
The 21st Century Cures Act, along with the FDA's Real-World Evidence (RWE) framework, has established a foundation for incorporating real-world data (RWD) into regulatory decision-making...
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...
The opioid crisis is a uniquely American challenge. Many factors catalyzed this national nightmare and others continue to fuel it. This presentation delves into some of the major contributor...
Laboratory tests come into existence through a variety of processes but regardless of the genesis all share a certain set of requirements. These include discovery, development, validation, re...
Biopharmaceutical manufacturing of proteins requires an efficient cell line. Starting with several thousand clones, researchers use multiple selection rounds to ultimately chose one clone fo...
The ever-increasing number of deaths along the U.S.-México border and the diversification in the demographic characteristics of the Latin American migrants, who perish in this region,...
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...
Globally, women are disproportionately affected by sexually transmitted infections (STI) including HIV. The immune system of the female reproductive tract (FRT) balances the unique role of p...
Focusing on the urgent clinical problem of increasing carbapenem resistance in Enterobacteriaceae we have been evaluating detection methods in clinical microbiology and molecular transmissio...
The success of immune checkpoint blockade adds a new therapeutic category to the cancer therapy repertoire. Despite efforts made on cancer cell and immune cell interaction, how cancer cells i...
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...
The use of medically unsupervised cannabis use is exponentially growing in the USA. Healthcare providers need to not only recognize this fact but embrace it with the goal of avoiding drug-dr...
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...
