With an increased need for surveillance in the present COVID-19 environment, saliva has stood out and demonstrated it's performance equivalence to existing sample collection techniques s...
Precision medicine is a rapidly evolving paradigm powered by emerging technological, diagnostic, and pharmacological capabilities. The clinical application of precision medicine holds p...
Accurate and reliable analytical cannabinoid potency data is essential to operating a compliant, consistent, and profitable cannabis company. Third-party testing labs service this industry n...
Lateral flow assays (LFAs) are rapid, sensitive, and easy-to-use immunoassays for detecting specific target proteins in vitro. Although the LFA format is extremely popular in point-of-care di...
Tumor mutational burden (TMB) is an emerging biomarker that correlates with response to immunotherapeutic agents, such as checkpoint inhibitors. Recent studies indicate that a high mutation l...
Computer vision (CV) has seen rapid growth in many industries, including the life sciences with high-content cell imaging and phenotypic assays. However, many biomolecular and cellular assay...
Two studies on the immunology of COVID-19 are included in this webinar: First, Eugenia Ong, PhD with the Viral Research and Experimental Medicine Centre @ SingHealth Duke-NUS (ViREMiCS) and...
The fast spread and deadliness of SARS-CoV-2 has sparked much interest in understanding the underlying genomics and evolutionary patterns of this 30,000bp Coronavirus. Since the first report...
The COVID-19 pandemic is caused by a newly discovered coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. To characterize and detect this new virus, antibodies to support scientific research, diagnosis and vaccine dev...
Liquid biopsy tests are an integral part of the molecular diagnostic workup of cancer specimens. We have performed extensive validation studies of the GeneStrat NGS test (GSNGS), that uses a...
Learning Objectives: 1. To understand the role of the US federal government in testing and other disease containment strategies 2. To understand how US federalism led to a diversity of respo...
Contemporary law enforcement has greatly expanded its ability to solve crimes by the adoption of advanced forensic techniques, electronic monitoring and new approaches in crime scene procedur...
Since the first introduction of the 3R concept in 1959 by Russell and Burch, there has been an increasing interest in finding alternatives to animal testing for ethical and economic reasons....
Vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 have been made in a record time. However, although the vaccines that have been deployed have clearly reduced the percentage of severe infections in countries wher...
Western blotting is a dependable, trusted method for protein detection used by thousands of labs worldwide. While the process of western blotting often seems straightforward, different variab...
The recent Zika virus outbreak highlights the need for low-cost diagnostics that can be rapidly developed for distribution and use in pandemic regions. In early 2016 we developed a pipe...
While circulating cell-free DNA (ccfDNA) and to some extend CTCs from blood are routinely used as analyte in liquid biopsy cancer research applications, circulating cell-free RNA (ccfRNA) ha...
Tumors often evade immune destruction by adapting and circumventing immune checkpoints to create resistance. This adaptive immunity can be reversed to stimulate the endogenous immune re...
Too often, cannabis labs are trying to open for business without the solid foundation of an ISO management system. This afterthought is detrimental to labs’ short and long term success...
Single-cell RNA sequencing has emerged as an important technology that can reveal gene expression differences between different cell types. This webinar will demonstrate how bioinformatics s...
