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...
Despite the remarkable clinical efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells in hematological malignancies, only a subset of patients achieve a durable complete response. Furthermore,...
Protein misfolding and aggregation are key features observed in numerous neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. The oligomers formed during the ag...
Within the kidney, the glomerulus is the structure in charge of the renal ultrafiltration. Loss of glomerular function leads to renal damage and could end with irreversible damage. The major...
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have demonstrated significant success in treating relapsed or treatment-refractory hematologic malignancies in the clinic, inducing remissions in 70-9...
Nucleic acid agarose gel electrophoresis is a fundamental technique in molecular biology, boasting a rich history of advancements and innovations spanning over half a century. This technique...
RNA viruses use a variety of interactions with host proteins to gain entry, to evade immune responses, to promote viral replication, and to promote viral egress and spread. These interaction...

Ensuring that clinical tests are not affected by tumor heterogeneity requires a sampling methodology that captures the genomic, proteomic, and cellular diversity of entire solid tumors. Howe...
Mouse models have been essential for establishing the role of the T cells in anti-tumor responses, but they have limited utility in translational studies for the testing of candidate therape...
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. This presentation will summarise the epidem...
In this project, we optimized a high-throughput fluorescent-based assay to assess transporter activity by measuring uptake of the substrate, ASP+ 4-(4-(dimethylamino)styryl)-N-methylpyridi...
Molecular breeding can significantly reduce the cost and time required to deliver improved plant and animal species for agricultural use. Advancements in genomic technologies are acceleratin...
Our lab has developed a novel platform for droplet sorting that can be used to sort enzymes by activity, and cells by metabolism. It is a passive technique that utilizes no excitation laser,...
Effective cellular therapies for solid tumors remain elusive. Advances in gene editing and synthetic biology offer great potential for improving the safety and functionality of engineered ce...
Immuno-oncology (IO) is a type of cancer treatment that uses the body's immune system to fight cancer. It works by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells, while le...
Monoclonal antibodies are heterogeneous molecules that include glycosylation variants, carboxyl truncation, and deamidation that require extensive analytical characterization. These molecule...
This is a technical talk. Its objective is to provide details of virus sequencing, using SARS-CoV-2 as an example. Knowing the details, strengths, and limitations of virus sequencing will en...
This presentation will discuss some of the challenges related to developing antibody therapeutics and how GenScript's comprehensive portfolio of services and products can increase the ef...
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...
Learning Objectives: 1. Describe language disturbances in schizophrenia and its risk states. 2. Describe face expression disturbances in schizophrenia and its risk states. 3. Describe ethica...
Learning Objectives: 1. Classify the obstacles to successful manufacturing of antigen-specific T-cells in immunotherapy. 2. Highlight the effects of CD45RA+ subsets in expansion of antigen-s...
Brian Uzzi presents two studies on innovation in science. Study one examines conditions favoring the generation of innovative, high impact ideas and study two examines the conditions that ef...
