In recent months, we have seen a large part of the global scientific community shift to infectious disease research. In response, researchers are exploring safer and easier methods to handle...
Humans are susceptible to many life-threatening viruses such as HIV, influenza and Ebola. The current coronavirus pandemic is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-...
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...
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...
This session introduces the keypoints in validating RT-PCR testing of SARS-CoV-2, and presents findings at a provincial center of CoVID-19 on positive rate of molecular testing from multiple...
Radicle Science's ACES (Advancing CBD Education & Science) study was an IRB approved 4 week, 14 arm, open label randomized clinical trial of 13 CBD products plus a waitlist control g...
The global pandemic of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by Severe Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has highlighted the importance of surveillance efforts to closel...
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...
Generation of robust iPSC-derived neural stem cell cultures and neurons with shorter maturation times provide opportunities for quick and reliable generation of neuronal in vitro models. This...
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...
Part I: Introduction and history coronaviruses dating back to the 1980s and coronavirus biology. I will describe the coronavirus life cycle pointing steps that may serve as targets of antivi...
Testing volumes need to increase by orders of magnitude in order to restore communities back to normality. This workshop focuses on solutions that equip laboratories to participate in expand...
The 2020 pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) continues to rage. While PCR-based assays are used for viral diagnosis, high through-put, rapid s...
A key goal in psychiatry is to build new diagnostic, therapeutic and translational tools and capacity to reduce the impact of emerging mental disorders in young people on survival, distress,...
To ensure the immune system’s balance between the recognition of non-self and the prevention of autoimmunity, the activity of immune cells needs to be strictly controlled. During the pr...
Success of the personalized medicine strategy depends on our ability to access the genetic variance landscape continuously before, during and after treatment. Liquid biopsies provide us...
Three popular microplastic identification methods were practically compared with real complex environmental samples. The advantages and limitations of each method including analysis time, fa...
Antibody tests are important tools to assess the efficacy of vaccine candidates and to derive suitable vaccination modalities. High specificity and sensitivity are of great importance for th...
It is well documented that social housing is fundamental to good welfare for non-human primates (NHPs). Despite this, many laboratory NHPs around the world continue to be singly housed, thoug...
Telomere length (TL) is widely considered a molecular/cellular hallmark of the aging process with implications for multiple diseases. While there has been success in epidemiology and genomew...
During COVID-19, he has been one of the leaders of institutional and community education around the disease. He has been part of numerous University initiatives including outreach to the Asi...
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is challenging our health care systems and has profoundly impacted our society. Due to the poor global public health response, SARS-CoV-2 has developed many variants....
We all have to provide training; if our program is big or small, a germ-free mouse colony or field studies in Africa, centralized or not. Animal research programs, as varied as they are, have...
