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.
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...
This webinar provides an interdisciplinary look at the global changes observed in the laws, standards and politics around the cannabis plant and its products. An overview will be provided on...
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...
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...
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...
The path from research discovery to effective immune cell therapies requires innovative approaches to match the challenges we face. Examining the full richness of biological complexity&mdash...
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...
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...
Traditionally, virology has been focused in studying the pathogenic effect of viruses. In the recent years, however, this perception is changing and viruses are being studied as mutualistic...
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...
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...
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...
Genetics may influence experience with cannabis and CBD. With increased access to legal cannabis and the research community expanding their focus on the medicinal uses of cannabinoids, more...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Theragen Bio. (TheragenEtex Subsidiary company) has been conducted the genome-wide research and the genome-based genetic testing services. From 2007, researchers of Theragen Bio. are collabo...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
