In this third and final part of our translational cell and gene therapy webinar series we delve into cell therapy applications beyond immune oncology. Firstly, we will look into Miltenyi Bio...
With more than 6 million infections and more than 300,000 deaths (as of end of May 2020), the current COVID-19 pandemic has led to large scale lockdown around the world to prevent further sp...
Problem Measuring viscosity is critical to knowing if your protein and formulation will be well-behaved, or if they will really disrupt the flow of things during administration. Too bad most...
As the spread of infectious diseases, current pandemic, and growing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continues globally, next-generation sequencing (NGS) became a tool to diagnose infectious d...
Learning Objectives: 1. What kind of virus is the coronavirus? Where is its greatest vulnerability and why? 2. What differentiated the HCoVs discovered in the 1960s from the SARS-CoV and MER...
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is the primary technology used to identify genomic targets for vaccine development. Enhanced options for NGS on Illumina systems now make it possible to iden...

Efficient viral vector production is essential for the cost-effective manufacture of cell and gene therapies. Many of the current production workflows are reliant on basal media in batch-mod...
Cell therapy holds promise in improving outcomes for many difficult-to-treat diseases. However, this therapeutic strategy also comes with challenges that limit rollouts on a more impactful s...
Sean Taylor will be presenting on the following: Title: COVID-19 infection mechanism, rate of infection and tools for testing and monitoring the disease spread Abstract:Since COVID-19 was fi...
Differences in how users gate populations within experiments are major sources of variability in flow cytometry data analysis. Incorporating automated image analysis can substantially reduce...
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a grip on worldwide health and global economics. Advancing molecular diagnostics is central to the diagnosis and prevention efforts surrounding the de...
Even as COVID-19 vaccines are being deployed around the world, the clinical laboratory will continue to play a major role this year helping to control the pandemic by diagnosing new infectio...
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in demand for population scale pathogen screening. The most sensitive and reliable method for detecting SARS-CoV-2 remains reverse transcription PCR (RT-PC...
The Year of Rat is unfortunately dominated by bats due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Although we are not 100% certain that this is a bat virus, all the evidence suggests that there is a high cha...
Dr. Jordan RoseFigura from Swift Biosciences will present on the technology created to enable this research that covers 99.7 % of the SARS-CoV-2 genome from limited viral titers. Including a...
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, SARS-CoV-2 molecular testing continues to play a central role managing patient care and supporting epidemiological studies or developing new anti-virals a...
Severe COVID-19 is characterized by dramatic immune system activation and inflammation. Several studies to modulate the immune response and limit immunopathology are ongoing. To better under...
I will discuss the development of the “Midnight” panel for faster, simpler, and less expensive SARS-CoV-2 genome sequencing. We show that using a multiplexed set of primers in co...
When SARS-CoV-2 reached the United States in late January 2020, Labcorp immediately began development of an RT-PCR test to aid in detection and diagnosis of COVID-19 in infected patients. As...
Developing an in vitro diagnostic device is often a complex and demanding process. Doing so in the midst of a pandemic and the IVD global supply chain stretched like never before, with proje...
