Cells of the liver and pancreas are highly polarized and well differentiated, contributing to food digestion through the secretion of lipid emulsifying bile, and proteolytic juice into the g...
Immunotherapy such as immune checkpoint inhibitor antibodies have revolutionized the treatments for hard-to-treat cancers, with durable responses observed in clinics. However, the overall re...
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized clinically by poor survival and mechanistically by KRAS- and autophagy-dependent growth. We and others previously demonstrated that i...
Many oncology patients do not receive the most effective targeted treatments because of challenges associated with implementation of a personalized medicine approach. Despite a lengthy histo...
During my research career I have worked to further understanding of how intracellular organisation changes in response to the needs and environment of the living cell, focusing on the regula...
Explore the journey of the sample through an automated LC/MS workflow from sample receipt to the reporting of results back into a LIMS. The advantages of automation are discussed, along with...
Bladder cancer is the 4th most prevalent cancer in men, 11th in women and presents one of the highest rates of post-treatment recurrence (70%) among malignancies. Despite its impact on human...
The current version of the human reference genome, GRCh38, contains a number of errors including 1.2 Mbp of falsely duplicated and 8.04 Mbp of collapsed regions. These errors impact the vari...
The global incidence of cancer is on a steady rise, with a projected annual diagnosis rate of nearly 30 million cases by 2040. Despite this alarming trend, our understanding of the intricate...
Cannabis laboratory employee turnover is common, extraordinarily expensive, time consuming, and risks harming internal culture. Surprisingly, most cannabis laboratories are unaware of an ext...
Primary resistance to CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CART19) occurs in 10% to 20% of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL); however, the mechanisms of thi...
Immune checkpoint blockade has revolutionized the treatment for patients with cancer. Great efforts remain to better understand resistant mechanisms to treatment as well as means to improve...
Historically, nasopharyngeal sampling has been considered the gold standard for the detection of most upper respiratory tract infections, however major medical and laboratory supply chain is...
We started our experience with prostate cancer in 2002 with primitive robotic platforms. Our main goal was to provide an alternative to open and laparoscopic surgery....
Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) is advancing precision oncology research through simultaneous analysis of multiple biomarkers in a single next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay. In thi...
Plant-infecting viruses cause significant losses to agriculture, including to staple crops such as wheat, maize, and rice. Preventing and managing endemic and emerging plant diseases is an o...
