Here I review the applications of Ion Torrent NGS technology in the field of microbiome research and some recent publications about it. With Ion Torrent 16S rRNA next generation sequencing,...
Terpenes are a broad class of chemicals that are found throughout the Cannabis plant that produce the unique aroma and taste of your favorite variety. Cannabis breeders have been selecting f...
This talk will peek under the hood to show how we combine deep learning models with biology lab automation at Recursion Pharmaceuticals. Every week, we generate millions of microscopy images...
Aggressive low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) lowering strategies are recommended for prevention of cardiovascular events in high-risk populations. Guidelines recommend a 30-50% redu...
Many questions at the forefront of biology depend on the interactions of millions of single cells. My lab develops technologies for studying large numbers of single cells. In this talk, I wi...
Actions are not mediated solely by cortical processes but rely on communication within basal ganglia-thalamocortical loops. Speech is one example, although how the basal ganglia participate i...
Antibody-based therapeutics are helping patients across a wide range of disease areas, from cancer, such as Rituximab treatment of CD20-positive non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, to infectious di...
According to the American Cancer Society, in there were an estimated 110,070 new cases diagnosed and approximately 32,120 deaths from gynecologic cancers in the U.S. in 2018. Of the five mos...
In the event of a radiological or nuclear disaster, there will be a need for therapies that can mitigate the acute hematopoietic and gastrointestinal (GI) radiation syndromes expected to dev...
A repeat expansion in the C9orf72-SMCR8 complex subunit (C9orf72) represents the most common genetic cause of two fatal neurodegenerative diseases: frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrop...
The adenosine analogue remdesivir has emerged as a front-line antiviral treatment for SARS-CoV-2, with preliminary evidence that it reduces the duration and severity of illness. Prior clinic...
The research community has begun correlating the makeup of individual microbiomes with disorders and diseases such as obesity, atherosclerosis and cancer. To accomplish this, researchers must...
This talk reviews the advances in the field of Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs). It is divided to five topics: (1) Ligand-induced Target Protein Destabilization; (2) Small-Molecule L...
Patient laboratory test results are significantly over-represented in electronic medical records, but significantly under-utilized in research. An important application of laboratory data is...
Existing methods for antibiotic selection are based on outdated and inaccurate microbiological principles, causing millions of inappropriate antibiotic selections and hundreds of thousands o...
Cases and deaths continue to increase steadily in most states. The pace of increase is faster than we expected, leading us to revise upward IHME forecast of deaths and cases into the future....
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...
Cell-based immunotherapy has become the new-generation cancer medicine, and “off-the-shelf” cell products that can be manufactured at large scale and distributed readily to treat...
The risk of mortality from COVID-19 follows a sharp age gradient, with older populations facing a thousand fold higher risk of death upon infection than children. At the same time, the COVID...
A key step in the clinical production of CAR T cells is the expansion of engineered T cells. To generate enough cells for viable adoptive cell therapy, cells must be robustly stimulated, whi...
