Multiscale modeling has arisen as a focus of computational systems biology, with the realization that genome, proteome, connectome, etceteromes, will only become comprehensible once placed i...
Each year, more monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are approved by regulatory agencies to treat a wide range of diseases with an expected market value of over $200 billion by 2026. The advantage o...
Grippaz® gloves are designed to meet the evolving safety requirements of multiple controlled environments with a specialized nitrile compound that is ESD Safe, chemical resistant, durabl...
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...
Selective vulnerability of brain regions and specific neural populations in neurodegeneration remains little understood. We hypothesize that pre-existing physiological differences in neurons...
Advances in genetic engineering have improved specificity, safety and potency of T-cell receptor (TCR) and Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR-T) based therapies for solid and non-solid tumours....
Esophageal adenocarcinoma [EAC] is the fastest growing in incidence cancer in the US over the last 25 years, while also having a 5 year survival of less than 20%. Barrett’s Esophagus [...
My laboratory at the Garvan Institute operates an ISO 15189 and NATA accredited laboratory for testing of patients using whole genome and whole exome sequencing, as well as gene panel testin...
Bio-Techne is proud to provide a first glimpse into the power and performance of the Leo™ System using several assay models as it hits the market. Data highlights include throughput, s...
Dr. Ritterhouse's laboratory has implemented rapid and ultra rapid protocol for NSCLC genomic profiling, based on NGS. This has led to significant shortening of turn around time (TAT) an...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a computer program designed to perform operations typical of human intelligence, such as self-learning. AI is taking over different fields in science; we alre...
Martin highlights various factors impacting molecular analysis from FFPE samples and key challenges and considerations while working with this precious yet challenging sample type. Learning...
Gene editing technologies such as CRISPR/Cas9 have greater flexibility and high efficiency. CRISPR technology enables targeted insertion of transgenes at the desired locus and has the abilit...
Despite the promising results with current approved immunotherapies, all patients do not have the same level of response, and recent efforts have focused on understanding and avoiding immuno...
The identification of novel drug targets and the development of next generation therapeutic strategies remain elusive goals for cancer researchers. We believe that the aberrant molecular eve...
This talk provides a brief overview of funding opportunities for invasive device development for translation to clinical populations supported by the NIH BRAIN Initiative....
Cell and gene therapy is at the forefront of medical innovation, offering transformative potential for treating complex diseases. However, achieving success in these therapies requires metic...
Immune checkpoint therapies targeting the CTLA-4 and PD-(L)1 pathways have been largely clinically disappointing for patients with prostate cancer. This can be attributed to the highly immun...
Since late 2020, several prominent SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern have emerged, harboring specific mutations which increase viral transmissibility Delta variant) and which appear to reduce t...
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...
