This compilation of webinars touch on the various human diseases are most commonly attributed to the subject matter of microbiology, as well as the many microbes that are also responsible for numerous beneficial processes.
In recent past respiratory seasons, the world witnessed a “tripledemic” of Influenza (flu), SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). In this presentation, I...
Bacterial vaginosis is a common cause of vaginal complaints, mainly of odor and discharge in women of reproductive age. BV is poorly understood and recurrence is frequent. More questions tha...
The ongoing surge of clade 2.3.4.4b H5N1 viruses in avian species has resulted in numerous spillover events into mammalian species including dairy cows and humans, posing a potential pandemi...
Apolipoprotein E epsilon 4 (APOE4) is the primary genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). APOE4 carriers, especially females, tend to develop gut dysbiosis earlier t...
Candida auris is a serious emerging public health threat due to its multi-drug resistance and the ability to spread in healthcare facilities. In addition, it is challenging and time consumin...
Curious about how engineered polymerases are transforming the landscape of infectious disease diagnostics? Our speaker, Dr. Maja Studencka-Turski, will guide you through a comprehensive disc...
In the rapidly expanding landscape of molecular diagnostics, the focus is shifting from top to bottom, with a redirection from post-pandemic respiratory testing to developments in gastrointe...
The global demand for point-of-care testing (POCT) for diagnosing infectious diseases is growing. Bringing the test directly to the person needing the result greatly reduces the turn-around-...
Infectious diseases have been a major threat to human health throughout history, causing significant economic damage worldwide. In modern medicine, quickly and accurately identifying the ger...
1) Microscope slides and coverglass are used in many parts of the lab while knowledge of how these items are made and the technical properties they have is limited. 2) By not understanding t...
Blood Cultures are the gold standard test for Sepsis diagnosis and an essential first step in infectious organism identification. Improving its quality is critical to the outcomes for a pati...
Antibodies against ribonucleoprotein (RNP) are an important serologic marker for mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD). RNP interacts with Smith (Sm) proteins to form the Sm/RNP complex. An...
Join us in this enlightening session to deepen your understanding of qualifications and their transformative impact on risk management and regulatory adherence. Gain actionable insights that...
Assessment for anti-dsDNA antibodies provides some of the most significant challenges in autoantibody serology testing. Anti-dsDNA antibodies are an important biomarker for systemic lupus er...
It is over half a century since haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was recognised by medical professionals; the importance of HbA1c to the long term health of people with diabetes was clearly demonstra...
RNA viruses use a variety of interactions with host proteins to gain entry, to evade immune responses, to promote viral replication, and to promote viral egress and spread. These interaction...
Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, cycles between an Ixodes spp. vector and a vertebrate reservoir host, typically small rodents. Humans become infected when they int...
Antimicrobial resistance is an important and pressing challenge for global human health. Several obstacles in understanding, diagnosing, and treating antimicrobial resistance limit our abili...
Helicobacter pylori is the primary cause of 78% of gastric cancer cases, providing an opportunity to prevent cancer by controlling a single bacterial pathogen within the complex gastric micr...
Globally, women are disproportionately affected by sexually transmitted infections (STI) including HIV. The immune system of the female reproductive tract (FRT) balances the unique role of p...
Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) remains a significant public health concern, particularly for vulnerable populations such as infants, young children, and immunocompromised individua...
Human skin is characterized by a limited number of phyla including, Actinomycetota, Bacillota and Pseudomonadota. In particular, Staphylococcus (Bacillota) and Corynebacterium (Actinomycetot...
Emerging viruses like SARS, SARS-CoV-2, MERS-CoV, Hendra, Nipah, West Nile, sin nombre, LuJo, MERS, Powassan, dengue, chikungunya, zika, Ebola, and Marburg pose a growing threat to public he...
Currently established rapid methods for sterility testing of advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) are mostly based on growth-based processes or the detection......
