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...
Individuals with substance use disorders often show impaired sensitivity to reward value. However, it is not clear whether such impairment impacts reward-related decision making and whether...
The most common forms of pediatric tumors are acute leukemia (33%), brain tumors (25%), and lymphomas (15%). Diagnosing these tumors utilizes various tests, including those performed by a pa...
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...
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...
Background and aim: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are vital membrane proteins involved in cellular and physiological processes, including sensory perception, signaling, neurotransmissi...
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...
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...
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...
mRNA vaccines represent a pivotal innovation in prophylactic healthcare, offering a rapid response to emerging infectious diseases. Leveraging the cellular machinery to produce antigenic pro...
Every patient is different and so is every tumor! The term “personalized oncology” today is largely associated with sequencing approaches. Current publications proof more and mor...
In the MIT Media Lab global synthetic biology course ‘How To Grow (Almost) Anything,’ students from MIT, Harvard, and a global classroom of hundreds learn concepts and skills at...
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...
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...
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...
Silk is essential to the life histories of more than 800,000 species across the arthropod tree of life. Humans have harnessed the ability of a handful of these for use in the sericulture ind...
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...
Monoclonal antibodies are heterogeneous molecules that include glycosylation variants, carboxyl truncation, and deamidation that require extensive analytical characterization. These molecule...
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...
Current cancer research is hindered by the limitations of existing experimental systems, which fall short in demonstrating concordance with human studies. In this way, we aim to develop mode...
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...
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 use of prescription and/or unregulated opioids increases a person's risk of experiencing respiratory depression and fatal overdose. Some people are at higher risk of experiencing res...
