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...
We describe product development tools combining data science and biochemistry to build more affordable research and diagnostic molecular testing solutions. This high level multiplexing techn...
Innate and adaptive immunity mechanisms provide antiviral protection in mammals. In this talk, I shall present recent findings from my lab and collaborators revealing a distinct form of mamm...
Translational medicine has been fairly unsuccessful in translating innovation from the lab towards the clinics and back again. Many reasons account for the failure leading to a massive waste...
New genomic technologies are changing the face of cancer care, as well as accelerating our biological understanding of cancer. Cris will summarise several parallel cancer initiatives in New...
Rare diseases pose unique challenges in the medical field, often affecting a small but vulnerable population with limited treatment options. The Rare Disease Challenge (RaDiChal) is a ground...
Pre-clinical research on cannabis use for arthritis has established clear mechanisms of action, but a few potential problems. While clinical studies are sparse, several surveys of cannabis p...
The detection and analysis of traces for the purpose of providing clues in criminal investigations has a rich history that dates back to the mid-18th Century. Traces are remnants of past eve...
There is an expanding list of therapeutically relevant biomarkers for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and molecular profiling at diagnosis is paramount. Tissue attrition in scaling tradi...
The immune system evolved to protect us against pathogen invasion and to maintain tissue homeostasis. Fundamental for these functions are the interferons (IFNs), a group of cytokines that be...
After a brief definition of terms (what are bioplastics?), this lecture will discuss various material and application examples for biobased and/or biodegradable plastics. An overview on the...
Tumors invade surrounding tissue as cancer progresses, but the heterogeneity of cell types at the tumor-stroma interface and the complexity of their interactions has hampered mechanistic ins...

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) has been an indispensable tool for daily pathology practice. Multiplex designs have further facilitated its utility with improved efficacy. Several techniques of m...
Bulk analysis often leads to conclusions that assume averages reflect the dominant biological mechanism operating within an entire population. To fully understand how cellular heterogeneity c...
Learning Objectives: 1. Learn about why Luminex’s xMAP bead-based technology is the gold-standard in multiplexing, including how xMAP emerged as the leading multiplexing platform for l...
The Irvine CubeSat STEM Program (ICSP) is a collaboration between Irvine Public Schools Foundation, and Irvine and Tustin Unified school districts that provides teams of students from all si...
Infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 compromises the immune system and causes in about half of the affected individuals neurological and neurocognitive complication categorize...
Natural killer (NK) cells, immune cells with an innate ability to recognize and eliminate cancer cells, have emerged as attractive effectors in immunotherapy, owing in large part to their ab...
CRISPR/Cas gene editing technology has rapidly evolved over the last decade. Its versatility extends from creating targeted research-use disease models in cells and animals, to high-throughp...
The NIST Biomanufacturing Program develops measurement science, standards, reference data and tools to support the development, manufacturing, and regulatory approval of biologic medicines....
Precise diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), which often have genetic causes, is a challenging and important problem. Here we describe the results of a recent pilot study using...
Point‑of‑care testing is the future of diagnostic solutions. Point‑of‑care testing is robust, easy to use, and provides immediate results and thus, allows treatment decisions to be made more...
Over the last several decades, antibodies (Abs) have become a valuable weapon in the fight against viral infections, with several studies demonstrating the importance of both neutralizing an...
On measuring photons and ions: Impact on panel design, signal detection and data quality 10:30–11:00 am PDT Presented By: Tim Bushnell, PhD, MBA Monitoring immunotherapy with a mass cy...
Over the last decade the cancer research field has seen a number of advances aimed at increasing the efficacy of treatments, reducing toxic side effects, and decreasing attrition rates of dr...
Short tandem repeats (STRs) are gold-standard genetic loci used for source attribution of evidentiary material in legal matters. Their power lies in their high heterozygosity and large allel...
