In recent years substance-related overdoses, many of which involve opioids, have contributed to more deaths than car accidents. Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) is a medical condition that continue...
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...
Over 80% of opportunistic infections in humans are caused by microbial biofilms. Traditional methods of study for these infections have focused on single species yet there is a wealth of evi...
The World Alzheimer's Report estimates that ~50M people live with dementia, of which Alzheimer's disease (AD) represents approximately 60-80% of all cases. Early diagnosis is imperat...
Genome Engineering allows the easy manipulation of genomes down to the nucleotide level. CRISPR is a revolutionizing tool for generating custom edited cell and pre-clinical animal models for...
Today, the majority of cell biology operations are carried out manually, even though the core steps are highly reproducible. Staff are expected to conduct repetitive tasks for hours each day...
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...
Research focused on SARS-CoV-2 has become a primary focus in genomic and molecular biology fields. With a constantly changing field with new methods for screening and studying virus-host int...
Most bladder cancer (BC) cases are non-muscle-invasive BC (NIBMC), which is rarely lethal. However, nearly one-fifth of NMIBC cases progress to muscle-invasive BC (MIBC), which shows a 5-yea...
Cancer neoantigens arise from protein-altering somatic mutations in tumor and rank among the most promising next-generation immuno-oncology agents when used in combination with immune checkp...
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...
Precision medicine is transforming cancer care, with next-generation sequencing (NGS) enabling the simultaneous analysis of multiple genomic alterations with therapeutic implications. Howeve...
Learning Objectives: 1. Define the impact of PD-L1 expressed on non-tumor, non-hematopoietic cells in T cell-mediated tumor control 2. Reveal the contribution of IFNg signaling in dermal lym...
A microphysiological system is a 3D in vitro model that mimics human tissue environments with high physiological relevance. This approach enhances our understanding of disease mechanisms, dr...
Lipids are important effector molecules, however current methodologies are not sufficient for global lipidomic profiling in biological systems. Learn how new innovations using Orbitrap Tribr...
Technologies that enable intraoperative tissue analysis and diagnosis are critically needed to guide surgical procedures and improve patient outcomes. Here we demonstrate the MasSpec Pen tec...
How can labs increase their sample throughput and pipetting accuracy and reproducibility without investing in an expensive automated liquid handler? Electronic pipettes are a cost-effective...
Environmental monitoring in a food manufacturing environment includes viable air sampling as well as surface sampling. Viable air sampling measures organisms in the air and surface sampling...
Most hospital systems have implemented opioid-related stewardship programs. That is an important first step. This talk will take that work to the next level, describing four advanced concept...
Antibody-based cancer therapies have clear advantages over chemotherapeutic drugs thanks to their high specificity and low risk of side effects. However, it can be difficult to identify targ...
How organisms control organ size is a fundamental question in developmental and regenerative biology. The underlaying mechanisms are not well defined. For instance, we don’t fully unde...
Next generation genomics technology is playing a significant role in improving the outcomes of genomic tools used in livestock farming, cultivation of crops, selection of quality seeds with...
