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.
Acute cough is one of the most common reasons for consulting in primary care thus driving considerable antibiotic use and health-care costs. Currently, identification of microbial etiology i...
Disability activists have sometimes claimed their disability has actually increased their well-being. Some even say they would reject a cure to keep these gains. Yet, these same activists of...
Genetic carrier screening is a method to help couples discover whether they are at risk of passing on serious genetic disorders to their children. When carried out before conception or early...
The majority of disease-associated genetic variants are thought to have regulatory effects, including disruption of transcription factor (TF) binding and alteration of downstream gene expres...
Genetics may influence experience with cannabis and CBD. With increased access to legal cannabis and the research community expanding their focus on the medicinal uses of cannabinoids, more...
Globally there has been a constant rise in the population suffering from cardiovascular diseases mostly due to metabolic complications. We have made use of two high throughput omics-based ap...
Prostate cancer (PCa) affects one in nine men and is the most diagnosed solid tumor cancer among men in the United States. The introduction of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) biomarker b...
The explosion of interest in extracellular vesicles has largely coincided with the development of tools which allow their rapid and routine characterization, in this presentation we will ide...
One of the primary limitations in drug discovery and toxicology research is the lack of good model systems between the single cell level and animal or human systems. This is especially true...
Competing to offer a comprehensive genomic profiling service for solid or hematology oncology tumor samples is challenging, especially as panels increase in size and complexity. QIAGEN Clini...
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...
B-cell lymphomas and leukemias originate from the malignant transformation and proliferation of one or a small number of B cells. Since each B-cell expresses distinct B-cell receptors (BCRs)...
Effective process development for viral vector-based medicines is paramount for optimized process efficiency, robustness, scalability, and product quality. Well-designed processes streamline...
Solute carriers include numerous uptake transporters that serve as major regulators of drug absorption, disposition, and clearance. Indeed, drug interactions or genetic variation that alter...
This talk will provide an overview of our work in the design of self-assembled, functionalised peptide and protein nanoparticles, hydrogels and bio-interfaces for applications in healthcare....
Our understanding of the genetic basis of disease has been rapidly advancing thanks to major technological advances in genomic sequencing and data analysis. Yet the majority of individuals w...
Molecular diagnostics based on clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) enzyme systems have been the subject of intense research....
As workflow efficiency and data reproducibility are common challenges faced by scientists for high throughput laboratories, GenScript has developed unique automation technologies to address...
A core goal of neuroscience is to understand how the brain adaptively orchestrates movements to execute complex behaviors. Quantifying behavioral dynamics, however, has historically been pro...
The last 20 years have seen an explosion of genetic information and data. New technological advances have made it faster and less expensive to understand the human genomes but most of those...
T-cells targeting shared oncogenic mutations can induce durable tumor regression in epithelial cancer patients. Such T cells can be detected in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and peripheral...
The tumor-associated microbiota is an inherent component of the tumor microenvironment across various human cancer types1. Although members of tumor-associated microbiomes can be identified...
Nanovials are emerging as an accessible platform for performing single-cell functional screening leveraging standard instrumentation, such as flow cytometers and microfluidic single-cell seq...
Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are a powerful tool for innovative approaches, such as drug discovery, in vitro disease modelling, or regenerative therapies. However, such proc...
Circulating proteins found in biofluids represent ideal biomarkers for early disease detection and can be collected non-invasively. Detection from biofluids, however, is challenging as highl...
High-resolution, 3D imaging enabled depth filters, chromatography columns and sterile filters to be analysed across multiple length scales. Generating a geometry-based database enabled struc...
Acute cough is one of the most common reasons for consulting in primary care thus driving considerable antibiotic use and health-care costs. Currently, identification of microbial etiology i...
