The popularity reached by the genetic manipulation of laboratory animals to create new models for studying human diseases, produced in turn, that the techniques for assisted reproduction cons...
The biological state of the cell is characterized by a complex network of interacting genes, gene products, proteins, microRNAs, as well as other molecules. Microarrays and next generation se...
COVID-19 has changed the way companies operate, the way employees perform their work and the way both are adapting to the environment. In this session, we'll cover both macro industry tr...
While chemiluminescence has been the traditional approach to western blot detection, this strategy is being progressively supplemented or replaced with fluorescence-based detection. With the...
Analysis of antigen- and virus-specific T cells is essential to the understanding of fundamental immunological processes in the contexts of e.g. infectious diseases, immuno-oncology, as well...
