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.
Laboratory shopping is a concerning practice in the legal cannabis industry that can compromise public health and safety, create an uneven playing field for businesses, and most importantly...
Coronavirus Immunotherapeutic Consortium (CoVIC) is an international effort to conduct side-by-side, apples-to-apples comparisons of leading therapeutic antibody candidates against the SARS-...
Human solid tumors, like breast cancers, represent a heterogeneous group of diseases that is best demonstrated through many differences in clinical outcomes within homogenously treated patie...
Coordination of immune cell metabolic programs with cell fate and state is a fundamental determinant of immune responses. Emerging evidence highlights that the interplay between immune signa...
This presentation explores the role of microorganisms in the engineered barrier system of a deep geological repository (DGR) for used nuclear fuel, with a focus on bentonite clay and surroun...
An overview of NIDA’s current medications pipeline for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD) is presented. OUD and its consequences are a major public health concern with a devast...
Synthetic adeno-associated virus (AAV) biology is an emerging interdisciplinary field that involves the re-design of all AAV components, including capsids, packaged genomes, and starting mat...
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is an important technology that reveals gene expression differences between different cell types. Yet scRNA-seq data can be challenging to analyze and...
Prokaryotic DNA contains three types of methylation: N6-methyladenine, N4-methylcytosine and 5-methylcytosine. The lack of tools to analyse the frequency and distribution of methylated resid...
Approximately 13% of the human genome at certain motifs have the potential to form non-canonical (non-B) DNA structures (e.g. G-quadruplexes, cruciforms, and Z-DNA), which regulate......
In this webinar, Dr. Luke O'Neill will discuss an overview of immunology and immunometabolism in infectious disease. The past 10 years or so has seen a major resurgence of interest in im...
The Human Neutrophil Lipocalin (HNL) also called NGAL, Lipocalin 2 etc. is produced by and secreted from epithelial cells and neutrophil granulocytes. In blood HNL exists in several molecula...
Microbes are recently recognized as driving the energy and nutrient transformations that fuel Earth’s ecosystems in soils, oceans and humans. Where studied, viruses appear to modulate...
Increasing evidence suggests that targeted sequencing of cell free DNA (cfDNA) can provide a comprehensive molecular portrait of solid tumors. However, the concordance between tissue and cfD...
Many current technologies used in drug discovery and preclinical development programmes typically involve multi-step operations, extensive hands-on time, and lengthy liquid handling processe...
Understanding how populations of neurons work together to represent stimuli, build percepts, and generate complex behaviors, is a fundamental challenge in neuroscience. To establish a link b...
To prevent and treat SARS-CoV-2 infections, a comprehensive understanding of both the humoral and cellular immune responses is essential. One critical component to understanding the fundamen...
Confocal microscopes (and related instruments such as Two-Photon) are often used for the most rigorous quantitative fluorescence microscopy measurements. Most confocal users are aware of the...
More than 50,700 Americans died of opioid overdose in 2019, and more than 1.6 million Americans live with addiction to opioids. Moreover, more than 50 million Americans suffer from chronic p...
Engineered immune cell therapies offer the promise of more tailored interventions than traditional systemic checkpoint blockades, but so far remain ineffective across the majority of clinica...
The Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD) is a one-of-a-kind resource containing data for hundreds of thousands of variants within the context of associated phenotype(s). Specifically, HGMD pr...
Copy number variant (CNV) analysis has been part of clinical diagnostics for almost two decades. With the evolution of genomic technologies for CNV detection, we have learned that CNVs can r...
In this session we will use a set of reads enriched for viral sequences and sequences from wastewater treatment plants. Specifically the aim is to assemble whole SARS-CoV-2 genomes from such...
Soluble cytokine biomarkers are the master regulators of cell-to-cell communication-- the means by which one cell tells another what to do or where to go. Determining the biomarker signature...
Influenza infections are initiated by just a handful of virions infecting a handful of cells, so it is important to understand what happens in single infected cells. I will describe work tha...
Laboratory shopping is a concerning practice in the legal cannabis industry that can compromise public health and safety, create an uneven playing field for businesses, and most importantly...
