Imagine if your doctor told you, or your mother, or your child, that you have a serious infection. Imagine that they told you that you needed an antibiotic, but didn’t tell you which o...
My laboratory uses tools from pharmacology, genomics, and cell signaling to study two key aspects of cancer biology. First, we seek to understand how oncogenic signals, altered metabolic sta...
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a widespread global health concern, impacting approximately 10 million individuals annually. Beyond the initial acute phase, TBI often results in enduring neu...
The lack of diverse participation in clinical research and trials has been a long-standing national problem that has been brought to the forefront due to COVID 19. In cancer research less th...
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...
Cell and gene therapies, such as chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapies (CAR-T), have led to some miraculous cures that are transforming the clinical landscape for treating certain types...

Incorporation of the TSA Technology available from Ventana’s AmpHQ kit allows for improved signal and reduced background in IHC staining at NovoVita Histopath Laboratory. This presenta...
Upon completion of the human genome project, it was determined that greater than 90% of human diseases are due not solely to a person’s genetics but a combination of genetic factors an...
PD-L1 is a key inhibitor of T cell activation that is often over-expressed in cancer to escape immune surveillance and promote tumor progression. Blocking antibodies against PD-L1 or its rec...
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...
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 COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a devastating effect on the health and well-being of the global population. A critical step in the fight against COVID-19 is effective clinical decisi...
For the past years, my laboratory has been working on microfluidic devices to enable the analysis of single cells. Our technology of choice has been droplet microfluidics that encapsulates s...
Infectious diseases have been a major threat to human health throughout history, causing significant economic damage worldwide. In modern medicine, quickly and accurately identifying the ger...
The transport properties of biomolecules in cells can reveal a great deal about the functional interactions regulating cells at the molecular level. Various biophysical methods have been dev...
Learning Objectives: 1. Review the basic principle of 3D microscopy. 2. Recognize the pathophysiology of Parkinson disease. 3. Demonstrate knowledge on how alpha-synuclein aggregates spread...
One of the central tenets of biology is that our genetics—our genotype—influences the physical characteristics we manifest—our phenotype. But with more than 25,000 human ge...
Immunoassays and mass spectrometric assays are the two major methodologies in contemporary clinical chemistry laboratories. While immunoassays are highly automated and offer a faster turnaro...
Neoantigens are peptides derived from patient-specific and tumor-specific mutations, which can be recognized by the immune system and mediate tumor recognition that leads to immune destructi...
Learning Objectives: 1. Background introduction to AAV gene therapy 2. Novel methods to build AAV capsid libraries for in vivo screening through rational design and directed evolution 3. Tis...
Discover how experience in utilizing a digital lab platform can elevate research workflows. Margriet will share insights, practical strategies, and success stories that demonstrate the benef...
Over the past 10 years, we have come to a greater understanding of the pathogenesis of men who succumb to prostate cancer. One critical aspect is the role of molecular drivers in patients wi...
We recently determined that concurrent inhibition of autophagy, using the lysosomal inhibitor chloroquine (CQ), and of ERK, using a small molecule ERK inhibitor (ERKi), synergistically suppr...
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...
Join this year's poster presenters in the Poster Hall during the Poster Networking Hour, Wednesday, November 8th, from 10:00 AM –11:00 AM PDT , to chat live about their posters and...
