Combinatorial inhibition of effector and feedback pathways is a promising treatment strategy for KRAS mutant cancers. However, the particular pathways that should be targeted to optimize the...
DNA profiling tools to teach undergraduate students about forensics generally utilize the PV92 Alu and D1S80 VNTR markers, but are both limited in scope. In contrast, advanced profiling syste...
Tumor phenotypes are dictated not only by the neoplastic cell component, but also by the tumor microenvironment (TME), which is inherently immuno-suppressive, is equipped to hamper effector...
There are known health outcome disparities among those with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNET) of minority race and those living with adverse social determinants of health (SDOH) (rural...
The Genome in a Bottle Consortium has published benchmarks for variant calling, but some challenging medically-relevant genes have been partially or fully excluded due to mapping challenges,...
Precision oncology continues to evolve as additional clinically relevant biomarkers are identified. The challenges facing both diagnostic laboratories and clinicians include not only the abi...
Regulated laboratories must comply with numerous quality requirements that are put in place by regulatory agencies to ensure that accurate data is being generated and reported. The vast majo...
We present a novel workflow for native MS, using a robust and sensitive LC/MS method using standard LC flow for native protein analysis. Most of the native MS analyses are using a nano-elect...
From data to insight: Explore the full potential of high dimensional data by leveraging machine learning algorithms 1:30–2:00 pm PDT Presented By: Qianjun Zhang, MS Utilizing FCS Expre...
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer-delimited pieces of cells that are released from the plasma membrane as "ectosomes" and from the endosomal system as "exosomes.&...
Axonal growth and pathfinding is fundamental to the development and regeneration of the nervous system. Src tyrosine kinase has been implicated in this process; however, the detailed molecula...
From drug discovery to organoid modeling of disease, stem cells are increasingly being used in research as a vital tool for scientific investigation. Due to the specialized nature of stem ce...
The defining characteristic of Companion Diagnostics (CDx) is that their use is associated with selection of a therapy or other medical intervention....
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) has a breathtaking variety of biological functions, which far exceeds its classical role as a carrier of genetic information. The repertoire of this versatile molecule...
Biomedical researchers are increasingly using advanced human cell models for translational biology and therapeutic discovery studies. These include patient-specific samples, cultured micro-ti...
Date: September 16, 2021 Time: 8:00am (PDT), 11:00am (EDT) Rapid screening and speed of scale-up in protein therapeutics are critical factors in today’s biotech and pharma workflows. T...
Deregulation of Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (RTK) signaling underlies a large fraction of human cancers. These genetic perturbations lead to a variety of cell autonomous and non-cell autonomous...
Epidemics are occurring at an increasing pace and scale. Our laboratory group has developed platform technologies for discovery of broad and potent neutralizing antibodies for many emerging...
Advancements in immuno-oncology have been moving at an ever-quickening pace. From the development of new CAR-T therapies to a better understanding of the mechanism of action of monoclonal an...
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a devastating neuromuscular disease caused by mutations in the SMN1 gene that reduce survival motor neuron (SMN) protein expression. Despite progress in the...
The recent outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread all over the world and raised global concerns. Rapid and early detection of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, the ca...
This presentation will describe two microfluidic techniques that my research group has developed for single-cell manipulation and analysis. The first is called Digital microfluidic Isolation...
The COVID-19 pandemic is a dramatic reminder of the problems that viral zoonoses can cause worldwide. The rapid development of vaccines and antivirals......
Lessons around leveraging high-complexity next-generation sequencing tests for precision infectious disease discovery to guide patient treatment and improve health outcomes. Learning Objecti...
