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...
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...
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,...
Identifying reliable antibodies for use in immuno-oncology research is critical to address its recent growth and rapid expansion into clinical trials as mistakes in antibody validation impac...
Almost unidimensional in their primordial existence as single cells, multicellular organisms quickly develop into complex 3D architectures and machineries composed of multiple cells and tiss...
In line with the role of T cells as critical mediators of the adaptive immune response, recombinational and junctional diversity of the T cell receptor makes each T cell almost entirely uniq...
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...
Prompt and early diagnosis of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is important to enable appropriate treatment and help prevent further transmission....
Surface plasmon resonance is a real-time and label-free technique that offers low sample consumption and high throughput when compared to other biophysical techniques and has been widely ado...
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...
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...
Gene regulatory networks are representations of the relationship between transcription factors and their target genes. By modeling gene regulatory networks, it is possible to identify change...
Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture spheroids and aggregates are preferred over monolayer cell culture due to their architectural and functional similarity to solid tumors. To study expressi...
In this talk, I will introduce two new tools that we developed based on CRISPR-enabled gene regulation in bacteria, and one method based on P1 phagemid-enabled delivery of Cas9 nuclease. Fir...
Brain cancer research stands to benefit from the perspectives, tools, and methodologies of non-traditional fields, such as mechanical engineering. Here, I will discuss our engineering-based...
Altered enteric microorganisms in concert with host genetics shape inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) phenotypes. However, insight is limited to bacteria and fungi. We found that eukaryotic vi...
Learn about how the new Ion Torrent Genexus System is addressing key challenges to next-generation sequencing (NGS) implementation, like hands-on time, time-to-result, user expertise, and af...
Cytokine storm is suspected of producing the overzealous immune response driving the severe cardiopulmonary complications that fuel high morbidity and mortality rates in certain COVID-19 inf...
Come join us for live chats with experts in mass cytometry and Imaging Mass Cytometry. When you enter the meeting room you can raise your hand to be unmuted by our moderator to ask your ques...
Mathematical methods can be used to study evolutionary processes associated with carcinogenesis. Selection, mutation, and drift all play a role in cancer dynamics and cancer treatment. I wil...
We are leading the way in developing integrated online sampling and Process Analytical Technology (PAT) workflows for quick monitoring of critical quality attributes (CQA) to produce advance...
Over the past 25 years, Luminex’s xMAP® Technology has emerged as the worldwide leader in bead-based multiplexing. The new xMAP® INTELLIFLEX platform combines the proven perfor...
The arenaviruses are an important group of pathogens that includes several agents of severe human disease, with symptoms that include hemorrhagic fever and neurological complications; howeve...
Health economists are great at calculating a value-based price for diagnostic tests. Given the unexpected supply and demand for SARS-CoV-2 tests during the pandemic, efficient allocation of...
