Genomic research has long been skewed toward European populations, leading to significant underrepresentation of Non-European groups in both research studies and genomic databases. This bias...
Key to precision oncology is the development of expert databases that organize and standardize information on cancer-related genetic variants, as well as their associated diagnostic, prognos...
Racial and ethnic minorities often experience cancer disparities in the United States with higher disease prevalence, shorter survival, and higher death rates with many cancer types. These d...
Microfluidic Tech has served millions of lives through the Biotech industry, whether in life science research or clinical diagnostics. Most of these technologies are spawned at academic and...
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...
Cannabis & Hemp pesticide and mycotoxin testing is difficult and time-consuming for a compliance testing laboratory. With dedicated fully automated cannabis & hemp flower workflows d...
The utility of Polygenic Risk Scores (PRS) is gaining researchers' attention for identifying individual genetic risk and disease risk prediction in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) at both t...
Bromodomains (BRDs) are evolutionarily conserved protein domains that interact with acetylated histones and set off a chain of events that includes recruiting transcription factors and other...
This workshop will focus on the emerging variants and the diagnostic and surveillance strategies (genotyping assays complementing sequencing) for this, as well as the impending COVID-Flu int...
In this talk, we will review using LC MS for Quantitative analysis of Pet Hemp product specifically CBD oils. Seven samples of commercial CBD oil marketed for pets were analyzed. LoD and LoQ...
The gut microbiota has been proposed to affect the risk and prognosis of various health outcomes. Related to pregnancy, existing studies suggest that pregnant women have a distinct microbiot...
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...
The need for high-throughput laboratory testing to identify SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals has reached nearly unprecedented levels. This demand has also led to supply chain issues that have...
Many nonhuman primate species show sex differences in behavior, which suggests that there may also be sex differences in brain organization. In order to better understand the evolution of se...
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid-bilayer enclosed nano-sized vesicles that are released by all cell types and found in all bodily fluids. EVs are emerging as important regulators of bo...
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...
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...
Gene therapy for two forms of inherited retinal degeneration have met promising safety and efficacy endpoints in early stage clinical trials. These approaches made use of a replication defect...
One of the central tenants of biology is that our genetics—our genotype—influences the physical characteristics we manifest—our phenotype. But with more than 25,000 human g...
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...
Summary: Cancer neoantigens are highly specific to the tumor, potently immunogenic and can be targeted by both vaccines and engineered cellular therapies. This talk will introduce the defini...
T cells exquisitely discriminate between antigenic and self-peptide ligands presented on major histocompatibility complexes (pMHCs) despite subtle differences in affinities. This aspect of a...
It has been publicly stated by the CDC that one in 5 Americans had an STI in 2018 and costs our healthcare system roughly $16 billion in direct medical costs. Routine sexually transmitted inf...
Validation of computerised systems is a regulatory requirement for both GMP and GLP laboratories. Although computerised system validation (CSV) has been required for over 40 years, the appro...
Comprehensive genomic profiling in clinical research studies helps to detect clinically relevant cancer driver mutations using low amount of tumor tissues within several days. Recent studies...
Genomic research has long been skewed toward European populations, leading to significant underrepresentation of Non-European groups in both research studies and genomic databases. This bias...
