The vaginal microbiome is a critical component of female health. More than 30% of people with vaginas suffer from imbalances in the microbiome (e.g. bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, an...
Immune cell therapies hold tremendous potential in the treatment of cancer. Among immune cells, natural killer (NK) cells have a powerful innate ability to recognize and eliminate tumor cell...
Healthy human red blood cells (RBCs) gradually degrade over their lifespan of ~120 days. However, sickle cells - RBCs from sickle cell disease (SCD) patients - degrade much faster within the...
Biocatalysis, protein engineering, and flow chemistry are key enabling technologies that can yield drastically shorter and greener chemical processes. We sought to leverage these technologie...
The global demand for point-of-care testing (POCT) for diagnosing infectious diseases is growing. Bringing the test directly to the person needing the result greatly reduces the turn-around-...
Anthropogenic microparticles, including microplastics, are commonly found in nearshore environments, where they may be entrained in coastal waters, sequestered in sediments, or ingested by a...
The advent of CRISPR-Cas (Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-CRISPR associated) makes it feasible to target/edit the genome with precision. Most of the CRSIPR-Cas syst...
Experience the Revolution of DNA Polymerase Technology: Choosing the Best DNA Polymerase for Efficient PCR Workflows. PCR has revolutionized modern molecular biology, but its success would n...
In this talk, I will discuss the development of interpretable machine learning models to test scientific hypotheses, with a specific focus on spinal motor control. Voluntary movement require...
Microtubules (MTs) are dynamic cytoskeleton polymers forming a polarized intracellular network that provides structural support, facilitates intracellular transport and drives chromosome seg...
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...
Organoid technologies are increasingly being used as in vitro models of human development and disease because they exhibit morphogenetic, structural and functional properties that recapitula...
Rapid screening and speed of scale-up in protein therapeutics are critical factors in today’s biotech and pharma workflows. The ability to swiftly develop novel therapies often depends...
bacteriovorus is a predatory bacterium that preys on Gram-negative bacteria. B. bacteriovorus invades the prey-cell periplasm – the space between the inner and outer membrane – l...
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...
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...
Three dimensional (3D) spheroidal cell models have become a mainstay in life science research to provide the most in vivo-like environment. Performing media exchanges and washes with unattac...
Strong performance for a Facility of the Future for the Life Sciences industry requires more than optimal manufacturing process development and facility design. The sector encompasses a dive...
Rapid, accurate, and wide-spread COVID-19 testing is essential for contact tracing, timely triaging of patients, and viral monitoring. The current gold standard for COVID-19 testing is RT-PC...
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...
Using high throughput next-generation sequencing to simultaneously search large number of genes for pathogenic mutations has numerous advantages. It decreases the pressure to narrow the dif...
Rapid, accurate and frequent detection of the RNA of SARS-CoV-2 and of serological host antibodies to the virus would facilitate the determination of the immune status of individuals who hav...
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...
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...
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...
