Among many surprising insights, the genomic revolution has helped us to realize that we're never alone and, in fact, barely human. For most of our lives, we share our bodies with some ten ti...
The human umbilical cord is a promising abundant source of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Compare to other MSCs, the advantages of human umbilical cord MSCs (hUC-MSCs) are easily accessible a...
Lab Automation can be a double edge sword. Increased throughput and improved reliability is the goal. We work with labs to better get the most out of......
Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases (AD, PD) are the two most common neurodegenerative disorders. Despite their debilitating effects and increasing prevalence in society, no cur...
Learning Objectives: 1. To provide an overview of relevant hereditary cancer syndromes 2. To encourage providers to obtain a thorough family history 3. To educate providers about available r...
Laboratory implementation of clinical genomics in children requires customization of analytical tools tailored to profile the divergent mutational landscape in childhood tumors. The relative...
The speakers will discuss how to surmount obstacles related to translating sequencing data into actionable results, and propose curated variant content shared with the clinical community as...
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) oncology panels are becoming integral in hospital and academic settings to guide patient treatment and enrollment in clinical trials. But as NGS is increasin...
Human microbiome projects have delivered our first glimpse into the microbial communities that reside in and on our bodies. Building on these efforts the research community has begun to corre...
Viruses and virally transmitted diseases have been impacting human health and well-being for hundreds of years. Some of our greatest scientific challenges and medical triumphs have involved...
This session will provide an update on PAMA, related coding initiatives, and what we are seeing from the payor perspective so far this year. Participants will have a deeper understandin...
The opioid crisis has put significant strain on the healthcare system and resources, including the clinical laboratory which has seen significant increases in requests for urine drug screeni...
The talk will first report on a new patented method of counting CTCs based on the metabolism of tumor cells, that favors acidification of their near environment. In order to maintain the acid...
