The recent advancements in RNA therapeutics have brought to light the need for mRNA molecules that possess better stability and functionality in vivo....
The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas) system is a bacterial defense mechanism that uses RNA-guided enzymes to cut specific s...
Human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) is a significant cause of lower respiratory tract infections in children under the age of 5, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals, leading...
The state of healthcare today and tomorrow can be best described as complex and unpredictable. From chronic diseases to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, infectious disea...
Molecular diagnostic assay development and design is no simple task, and several factors affect the performance and usability of a test. Diagnostic companies can enhance assay stability and...
A study of microbiome structure and function associated with plants roots will be presented. the study showed that the microbiome structure is determined by the plant type, with root microbi...
Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) comprises products of genomic recombination that cause somatic changes in gene length and sequence. These circular molecules are derived from canonical...
Trauma such as burn continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Gut barrier dysfunction is often implicated in post trauma complications. Intoxication at t...
The ongoing surge of clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 viruses in avian species has resulted in numerous spillover events into mammalian species including dairy cows and humans, posing a potential pandemi...
Learning Objectives: 1. Summarize the benefits and challenges of current preclinical methods in drug discovery and development. 2. Review new alternative methodologies (NAMs) and microphysio...
To identify genetic variants in archival human samples, researchers need a powerful NGS platform that can accommodate input DNA and RNA that is often low quality and/or low quantity. This ch...
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...
Prof Pantel will give an introduction and review to the evolution of precision medicine and will then focus on the implementation of Liquid Biopsy in Precision Oncology....
Multiplex immunofluorescence is a powerful tool for phenotyping cells from a single tissue slide, while preserving spatial context. The MultiOmyxTM platform, offered as an end to end service...
Our ability to record large-scale neural and behavioral data has substantially improved in the last decade. However, the inference of quantitative dynamical models for cognition and motor co...
Hematuria (blood in urine) may occur in up to 10% of the general population and results in costly evaluation to ensure it is of no consequence, i.e., no bladder cancer (BCa) is present since...
Traditionally, imaging workflows required significant manual interaction and time investment from the user. The addition of automation has decreased user time commitment and increased data o...
Tandem repeats are hard to assess but important regions on the human genome. There are around 200 pathogenic and phenotypic tandem repeats, which are often ignored by standard analysis. Furt...
Comprehensive Genomic profiling (CGP) is becoming standard of care in oncology. It allows clinicians to maximize clinical information from limited biopsy samples so that patients are matched...
The highly competitive nature of academic environments might seem to suggest that success can only be obtained at the cost of taking good care of oneself. However, sacrificing self‐care can...
Laws enforcing the prohibition of cannabis have unjustly harmed people of color for nearly a century. As a result, the regulated cannabis industry has a duty to advocate for legalization tha...
