With an increasing push to improve safety, efficacy, and efficiency throughout the drug development pipeline, researchers are evermore looking to improve the predictive capacity of their in...
Heart failure (HF) is a major problem for our contemporary societies in terms of prevalence, mortality and cost. Natriuretic peptides are recognized biomarkers for the diagnosis of HF but als...
Isolated hepatocytes or their enzymes comprise the basis of most in vitro DMPK and toxicity assays used to predict human hepatic outcomes. Because hepato-specific functions are typically lost...
Current drug discovery workflows are inefficient. 90% of therapeutic agents reaching clinical trials fail, predominantly because traditional laboratory experiments fail to adequately predict...
Dramatic responses observed with targeted agents in the ‘right’ genomic context have fueled large scale sequencing efforts to identify ‘effective’ treatments for a giv...
The Chain of Custody in our labs is the unbroken link between the objects used in your research: your people, the animal models, the cell lines, reagents, compounds; the lab instruments and d...
There is an acute shortage of organs due to disease, trauma, congenital defects, and most importantly, age related maladies. The synthetic materials used in tissue engineering applications to...
Image analysis in a real-world situation rarely involves solving a single unchanging problem. Modern tools need to be flexible and adaptable not only to solve todays problems but to support...
Second harmonic generation (SHG) is a biophysical method that sensitively measures real-time conformational change of biomolecules attached to membranes. SHG has recently been applied to dete...
The OrganoPlate is a microtiterplate based Organ-on-a-Chip platform for high throughput drug safety and efficacy screening. It contains up to 96 cell culture chambers that allow co-culture o...
Over the last few years, the space of advanced in vitro models has grown dramatically as researchers look to better mimic the in vivo environment within inexpensive and high throughput in vi...
Recent clinical successes in cancer genome-inspired personalized medicine have been a major breakthrough in drug discovery. However, 98% of the patients have an incomplete therapeutic respons...
The distinction between "complementary" and "companion" diagnostics tests confuse many physicians and healthcare professionals. Panelists Professor Thomas Webster (Northea...
Precision medicine allows for prediction of drug response and tailoring drug therapy based on genetic variability. This talk will provide examples of precision medicine initiatives at the Uni...
Surgery is the first line of treatment for Stage III melanoma. Often adjuvant therapy is administered post-surgery, which can include weeks of radiation, chemotherapy, targeted drug therapy,...
Multiplexing IHC is a technique that is increasing in demand as more and more researchers and physicians are being tasked with doing more with less. With multiplexing, you have the advantage...
Studies in drug development and on hematological and solid Tumors with a Thymidine Kinase 1 immunoassayThere are many tumor biomarkers but, they mostly reflect tumor mass or past growth,...
Spatial proteomics represents a revolutionary frontier in molecular biology, enabling researchers to explore protein expression while preserving the critical spatial context of tissue archit...
Many current technologies used in drug discovery and preclinical development programmes typically involve multi-step operations, extensive hands-on time, and lengthy liquid handling processe...
The Human Neutrophil Lipocalin (HNL) also called NGAL, Lipocalin 2 etc. is produced by and secreted from epithelial cells and neutrophil granulocytes. In blood HNL exists in several molecula...
Pre-clinical research on cannabis use for arthritis has established clear mechanisms of action, but a few potential problems. While clinical studies are sparse, several surveys of cannabis p...
Pharmacogenomics has emerged as an early use case of precision medicine. Delivering this new clinical data to clinicians in a ready to use format can be challenging. This talk wil...
Short oligonucleotides are an emerging platform for the development of biopharmaceuticals to treat various diseases, including those that are inaccessible to small molecule- and protein-base...
Learning Objectives: 1. Describe and discuss some of the unique aspect of in vivo studies. 2. Identify specific study practices to ensure high quality study data and animal welfare. 3. Discu...
This presentation explores the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of β-lactam antibiotic dosing, particularly in ICU patients. To optimize PK/PD targets, two strategies are...
Marine organisms produce a wide variety of primary and secondary metabolites with unique scaffolds that are biologically active. Manzamines are marine-derived polycyclic alkaloids. Approxima...
Nucleic acid analysis is crucial for the diagnostics of infectious diseases such as COVID-19. CRISPR/Cas technology, beyond its broad application in gene editing, features, in this regard, a...
With an increasing push to improve safety, efficacy, and efficiency throughout the drug development pipeline, researchers are evermore looking to improve the predictive capacity of their in...
