Our work focuses on developing an optical brain-machine interface capable of interacting with neural activity in real-time. In this talk, I will describe our progress toward building the com...
Operational barriers like complicated workflows and long turnaround times have hindered broad adoption of next-generation sequencing (NGS) in clinical oncology research. The new Ion Torrent...
Behaving animals continually reconcile the internal states of their neural circuits brain-wide with incoming sensory and environmental evidence to evaluate when and how to act. The brains of...
CML is traditionally regarded as a paradigm of precision medicine, under several points of view: 1) it is the first human malignancy whose molecular pathogenesis was unravelled, well before...
Currently laboratory research demands more application versatility and certainty for metabolite identification, targeted compound screening, and the ability to identify true unknown compound...
Alphaviruses are enveloped RNA viruses that cause disease in humans ranging from acute febrile illness with rash and arthritis to lethal encephalitis. Like many other mosquito-borne viruses,...
This talk will touch on several key points: PhD (MD) important grounding in science; how to develop friendships, gather mentors and collaborators; keep up with the literature; look at eviden...
I will present how I came to choose the physician-scientist career pathway. I was inspired from an early age by stories about my great-grandfather, an academic surgeon who innovated gastric...
Programmable genome integration of large, diverse DNA cargo without DNA repair of exposed DNA double-strand breaks remains an unsolved challenge in genome editing. We present programmable ad...
A central goal in single-cell cancer research is to identify phenotypically distinct cells that have prognostic significance for patients. This need is acute in brain tumor glioblastoma, whe...
Microphysiological systems (MPS) have proven to be a powerful tool for recreating human tissue- and organ-like functions. However, establishing complex human in vitro ADME models involving c...
Critical in control of this pandemic is the ability to rapidly identify infectious individuals prior to their ability to infect others. With the introduction of better testing capacity and a...
HIV-1 replicates in the body as a large viral population. Along with its high error rate during viral DNA synthesis and its short replication time (24 hours), the virus maintains sequence di...
The FDA submitted its final rule regarding laboratory diagnostic tests (LDTs) on May 6, 2024. While it allows for 4 years for compliance and it is currently being disputed by various associa...
There is an expanding list of therapeutically relevant biomarkers for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and molecular profiling at diagnosis is paramount. Tissue attrition in scaling tradi...
Quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomic experiments are designed to answer increasingly complex questions. For example, we may want to characterize changes in protein abundance in bio...
Measuring the shear rheology for highly temperature sensitive materials is challenging. Material characterization tools are slow compared to industrial processing. Using numerical simulation...
Despite remarkable success in relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies, CAR T-cell therapy faces significant challenges: primary resistance, relapse, and treatment-related toxicities. This...
