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.
In vitro translation (IVT), or cell-free expression, offers a unique and powerful research tool to screen for translational inhibitors that regulate both cellular and viral protein expression...
While nearly all of the research on phytocannabinoids has focussed on decarboxylation products like THC and CBD, many are surprised to learn that the cannabis plant does not directly produce...
Effective functioning of the immune system relies upon systems of checks and balances; too little activity results in overwhelming infection, too much activity results in excessive damage to...
Precision medicine promises a more effective approach to disease treatment and management. It is based on analyzing mutations of disease samples to unlock mechanisms of disease development an...
In this presentation, Dr. Kothari will provide an overview of the Precision Medicine Initiative from NIH and how NGS technologies have helped the researchers to look deep inside the human tra...
Neuronal migration defects, including pachygyria, are among the most severe developmental brain defects in humans. Using human genetics approaches, we recently identified bi-allelic truncatin...
Join us and hear from two Luminex® experts on our flexible solutions for molecular diagnostics. Dr. Sherry Dunbar and Dr. Aaron Benfield will describe our NxTAG® bead-based nucleic a...
As part of a large collaborative effort, we have used systems biology approaches to identify host factors that participate in SARS-CoV-2 replication. Protein-protein interactions maps betwee...
To achieve clear and accurate resolution of protein bands in protein gel electrophoresis, it is important to use the appropriate sample preparation conditions and to choose the right gel chem...
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is the primary technology used to identify genomic targets for vaccine development, detect emerging viral strains and monitor transmission patterns. Enhanced...
Cannabis testing laboratories play a pivotal role in the multidimensional cannabis industry. Production companies to the consumers, whole cannabis community rely on the analytical results pr...
We are entering into an exciting era of genomics where truly complete, high-quality assemblies of human chromosomes are available end-to-end, or from ‘telomere-to-telomere’ (T2T)...
Target enrichment workflows for Next Generation Sequencing are well-established methods that enable labs to achieve relatively low sequencing costs by specifically sequencing regions of inte...
CRISPR-based genome editing has accelerated biological research and holds great potential for studying and treating human diseases. The CRISPR-Cas9 system requires a Cas9 nuclease and a guid...
Receptors that respond to hormones, neurotransmitters, chemokines and growth factors traffic to the cell surface where they are activated by ligands and signal via coupling to molecules such...
Directing nucleobase deamination or removal can generate precise genomic edits without double-stranded DNA breaks. However, a much broader spectrum of DNA chemical modifications is available...
Drawing from the latest research and intervention practices, this presentation will address overcoming burn-out, compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma generally, and specifically as relate...
Virus Ecology is a field that is gaining momentum, fueled in part by metagenomic studies from many environments previously ignored. Biodiversity studies of plant viruses show that they...
The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) uses a hybrid modeling approach to generate Covid19 forecasts. The model incorporates elements of statistical and disease transmission...
A number of recently publications have heralded the advent of Precision Medicine in Oncology, where next generation sequencing technology, other ’omics technologies, serial biopsies, so...
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder with multiple motor and non-motor symptoms. PD is characterized by the presence on proteinaceous neuronal...
Learning Objectives: 1. Participants will become familiar with basic aspects of the user experience with the Genexus system 2. Participants will learn about preliminary studies using a targe...
I will first discuss findings from the larger field on microplastics effects across taxa in freshwater and marine ecosystems, and then cover ongoing work in our research group comparing resp...
The use of Δ8-THC in consumer products has caused safety concerns in the US. Though Δ9-THC is the main intoxicating component in the cannabis plant, its isomer, Δ8-THC, nat...
A One-Step RT-qPCR assay based on the CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel has been developed which can effectively detect SARS-CoV-2 particles from saliv...
As the outbreak of 2019 Novel Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, makes headlines on a daily basis, molecular diagnostic firms are rapidly responding by developing tests that assist in diag...
In light of the recent pandemic, less attention has been given to more common viruses like influenza. Scientists believe influenza may have been around before the 16th century and probably c...
