Learn about the latest medical breakthroughs by participating in webinars on topics surrounding disease, prevention and treatment in accordance with the latest research in health and medicine. Updates encompass a biological, psychological and sociological understanding of health.
In the United States, cancer disproportionately impacts Black and African American individuals. Identifying genetic factors underlying cancer disparities has been an important research focus...
Ninety percent of therapeutic agents reaching clinical trial fail to reach entry to market, with safety concerns being a major cause for failures in phase I and II clinical trials. Drug-indu...
We have developed an electronic method to screen cells for their phenotypic profile, which we call Node-Pore Sensing (NPS). NPS involves using a four-terminal measurement to measure the modu...
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...
Get to know Luminex’s xMAP® Technology all over again. For 27 years, xMAP Technology has become known as the worldwide leader in bead-based multiplexing. With the new xMAP INTELLIF...
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...
Black Americans have an increased risk for age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease (AD) compared to other ethnic and racialized groups. However, risk factors for age-relate...
Given the onset of extensive school closures, we are facing widespread scenarios of stunted learning, social isolation, and most troubling, an unprecedented surge in student suicides, all wh...
The application of modeling tools to better understand and control bioprocess development and manufacturing has become a hot topic within the last few years. However, what do we actually nee...
Mass spectrometry-based proteomics methods are finding increasing use in structural biology research. Beyond simple interaction networks, information about stable protein-protein, protein-li...
Hypoxia is pervasive across human cancer and its association with poor outcomes and aggressive malignant phenotypes has been increasingly appreciated. Previously, we and others described how...
Simple and sensitive nucleic acid-based molecular detection plays a crucial role in the early diagnosis of infectious diseases and the rapid screening of cancers. CRISPR technology has recen...
In the next five years, the majority of clinical diagnostic labs competing to offer NGS oncology testing will be performing comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP). Yet scaling to CGP introduc...
Individuals with Lynch syndrome (LS) are prone to develop early-onset mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) colorectal- and endometrial cancers due to germline pathogenic variants (PVs) in one of...
Measuring the shear rheology for highly temperature sensitive materials is challenging. Material characterization tools are slow compared to industrial processing. Using numerical simulation...
CRISPR-based diagnostics offer rapid and highly sensitive detection of disease biomarkers. Their ease of use and compatibility with lateral-flow readouts make them suitable for point-of-care...
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) has been an indispensable tool for daily pathology practice. Multiplex designs have further facilitated its utility with improved efficacy. Several techniques of m...
Cancer, as a disease, starts with a change in the genome that results in the downregulation of genes involved in "normal" cell behavior. This genetic change can either be induced b...
Neural networks are a powerful tool for modeling neural activity in the brain. In this talk, I will discuss how these models have helped in my own research and highlight recent work building...
In recent years in vivo CNS dosing has gone from being a relatively uncommon modality to one that is fairly standard. However, bringing this administration route into maturity requires an un...
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...
Learning Objectives 1. Understand the life cycle of the malaria causing parasite, Plasmodium 2. Understand new approaches to identifying host regulators of infection 3. Describe advantages a...
NGS technology has grown leaps and bounds in reproductive genetics field. Infertility is on the rise and with the mushrooming of so many IVF clinics in our country and increasing number of I...
As the use of engineered cells for the production of numerous research and clinical applications increases, the need to monitor multiple markers representing the stability and quality of the...
Advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) are ‘living drugs’ that have proven highly effective at treating diseases, such as cancer, that were once thought untreatable. As &lsq...
The Genomes2People Research Program (G2P), led by Robert Green at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, the Broad Institute, Ariadne Labs, and Harvard Medical School, conducts research to acce...
