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.
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...
Though AsCas12a fills a crucial gap in the current genome editing toolbox, it exhibits relatively poor editing efficiency, restricting its overall utility. In collaboration with Integrated D...
Traditional liver perfusion procedures – used to isolate hepatocytes – are difficult to perform and require extensive training, steady hands and long-standing experience. In this...
The COVID-19 pandemic highlights the need for diagnostics that can be rapidly adapted and deployed in a variety of settings. Several SARS-CoV-2 variants have shown worrisome effects on vacci...
Learning Objectives: 1. Explain how obesity impacts the survival of pediatric patients with specific subtypes of leukemia. 2. Describe how obesity impacts T-cell function in pediatric popula...
Protein production is a multi-billion dollar industry, with applications in pharmaceuticals, industrial enzyme use (eg in laundry detergent), and biomaterials. Bacteria are receiving renewed...
Learning Objectives: 1. Discover how Genetics is not the major determinant of chronic diseases and cancers; human microbiome and nutrition heavily contribute to their onset and progression....
Molecular testing of NCSLC biopsies is extremely important in the care and management of these patients. However, NCSLC biopsies are typically very small and require multiple types of analys...
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has been extremely successful in treating relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies, with six CAR T-cell products now FDA approved. Unfortunately...
Traditional hybridoma and phage display methods have failed to yield therapeutic antibodies against difficult targets like most GPCRs and ion channels. This presentation will introduce Berke...
To make movement and foraging decisions in a naturalistic environment, multiple neural populations must work synergistically to produce successful actions. These decisions span multiple scal...
The Irvine CubeSat STEM Program (ICSP) is a collaboration between Irvine Public Schools Foundation, and Irvine and Tustin Unified school districts that provides teams of students from all si...
Carbon dioxide emissions, known to exacerbate climate change, have been increasing rapidly over the past century. One strategy to alleviate this issue is carbon capture and utilization (CCU)...
Rather than being famous in gene editing field only, by revealing the collateral cleavage activity of Cas12a, Cas13a, Cas14 effectors, and more, Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindr...
G Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) are therapeutic targets for many medications used to treat a variety of disease states. A large number of genetic variants have been identified in the gen...
Acute T-cell mediated rejection (TCMR) is the most frequent complication after liver transplantation (LT), which can affect up to 50% of LT recipients in the first 5-year post-transplant. Li...
While hundreds of different lipids have been identified in human blood, many of them remain functionally uncharacterized, including a class of lipids called long-chain acylcarnitines (LCACs)...
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...
The structure of N-linked glycans can play a critical role in the pharmacology of therapeutic proteins, potentially affecting immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. This make...
NGS is still perceived as a complex, hard to implement and validate method that requires highly experienced people. Outsourcing next-generation sequencing (NGS) testing could be an option to...
Microtubule plus-end tracking proteins (+TIPs) play key roles in the regulation of microtubule dynamics in vivo. These proteins bind to and regulate microtubule “plus‐ends”, whic...
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,...
Early-stage markets provide a unique opportunity for new and innovative brands to get a foothold in an expected $50B cannabis CPG category while MSOs are building portfolios for a national a...
De Novo Software has been a leading provider of cytometry analysis tools since 1998 and provides data analysis tools for both flow and imaging cytometry. FCS Express 7, De Novo Software&rsqu...
The regions of our genome responsible for encoding the genes that regulate our immune response are some of the most complex and polymorphic known. This complexity encompasses multiple types...
Unique physical, chemical, and optical phenomena arise when materials are confined to the nanoscale. We are accustomed to making observations for the behavior of living systems on a macrosco...
Myeloid neoplasms are a group of heterogeneus disorders originating from the neoplastic transformation of a pluripotent hematopoietic progenitor cell. Following the acquisition of somatic mu...
