Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture spheroids and aggregates are preferred over monolayer cell culture due to their architectural and functional similarity to solid tumors. To study expressi...
Early detection is critical for prompt and effective treatment of acute infectious diseases. For tick-borne diseases (TBD), the lack of accurate early diagnosis can result in delayed treatme...
The recent explosion in the sample sizes and diversity of omics assays has created exciting new opportunities for biomedical scientists. However, connecting these omics data types in an inte...
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that is caused by the immune system’s inability to respond appropriately to an infection. How sepsis can change the gut microbiome in ways that a...
Marine organisms produce a wide variety of primary and secondary metabolites with unique scaffolds that are biologically active. Manzamines are marine-derived polycyclic alkaloids. Approxima...
Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) remains a significant public health concern, particularly for vulnerable populations such as infants, young children, and immunocompromised individua...
Learning Objectives: 1. Discuss the conceptual limitations of the term, "population" as applied to human genomics. 2. Explain the main difference(s) between "race", "...
DNA vaccines have emerged as a promising technology for developing COVID-19 vaccines due to their ability to be quickly designed and manufactured after obtaining the pathogen or cancer antig...
There is growing pressure to implement new generation sequencing platform in hospital emergency rooms. The utility would be obvious: identifying unknown pathogens form cerebrospinal fluid/pl...
Long-read sequencing was declared the method of the year for 2022 and, indeed, has fully arrived on the computational biology scene. Specifically, Oxford Nanopore Sequencing technology has e...
Genomics has had rapid implementation over the past decade, with recent growth in application in oncology, mental health, maternal fetal medicine, solid organ transplantation, and more. Much...
In this session, a review of the impact of COVID-19 on the Forensic Science Program at the University of Toronto will be explored. Challenges for both undergraduate and graduate education wi...
Ebola virus executes its replication cycle through a tightly orchestrated sequence of events, but the host factors that govern the timing of these steps have remained poorly defined. In this...
Coastal Genomics and the Hamilton Company have teamed up to combine the NIMBUS 96 channel platform with Ranger Technology to automate high throughput agarose gel electrophoresis. The new NIM...
The treatment of cancer has remarkably improved because of increased knowledge of the molecular abnormalities that drive human cancer growth. This has led to the development of ever more eff...
Microtubules (MTs) are dynamic cytoskeleton polymers forming a polarized intracellular network that provides structural support, facilitates intracellular transport and drives chromosome seg...
Infectious disease monitoring on Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) platforms offers rapid turnaround times and low cost. Tracking low frequency intra-host variants provides important insigh...
Learning Objections: 1. To learn a new approach to understanding brain function by creating networks to perform tasks using machine learning. 2. To learn how how to probe these networks to d...
This webinar will highlight the research solutions that Miltenyi Biotec has to offer for those investigating the roles of Tregs, NK cells, and Macrophages in the context of the tumor microen...
