Natural killer (NK) cells, immune cells with an innate ability to recognize and eliminate cancer cells, have emerged as attractive effectors in immunotherapy, owing in large part to their ab...
After a brief definition of terms (what are bioplastics?), this lecture will discuss various material and application examples for biobased and/or biodegradable plastics. An overview on the...
With the ever-increasing demand for antibody and protein-based therapeutics, a flexible purification platform that can handle low to high sample volumes and expression levels is critical for...
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...
Precise diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), which often have genetic causes, is a challenging and important problem. Here we describe the results of a recent pilot study using...
The Irvine CubeSat STEM Program (ICSP) is a collaboration between Irvine Public Schools Foundation, and Irvine and Tustin Unified school districts that provides teams of students from all si...
Cancer is a multifactorial disease, and its genesis and progression are extremely complex. The scope of precision oncology is rapidly expanding to address previously undruggable targets. The...
Solid phase microextraction (SPME) is a versatile, non-exhaustive sample preparation tool that has been demonstrated to be well-suited for facile and effective analysis of a broad range of c...
Infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 compromises the immune system and causes in about half of the affected individuals neurological and neurocognitive complication categorize...
The Tumor Microenvironment (TME) is a highly complex niche, with many different cell types characterized by a range of biomarkers. Clever staining protocols like Cycle Immunofluorescence, an...
A significant increase in agricultural production is needed to meet the demand for food to feed the expected ~10 billion people by 2050. This increased agricultural output will also require...
Adjuvant discovery is largely devoted toward the development of vaccines meant to elicit prophylactic humoral immunity. While useful against infectious diseases, this mode of adaptive immuni...
Combinatorial inhibition of effector and feedback pathways is a promising treatment strategy for KRAS mutant cancers. However, the particular pathways that should be targeted to optimize the...
Regulated laboratories must comply with numerous quality requirements that are put in place by regulatory agencies to ensure that accurate data is being generated and reported. The vast majo...
DNA vaccines have emerged as a promising technology for developing COVID-19 vaccines due to their ability to be quickly designed and manufactured after obtaining the pathogen or cancer antig...
RNA plays important and diverse roles in biology, but molecular tools to manipulate and measure RNA are limited. We demonstrate that RNA-targeting CRISPR effector Cas13 and novel RNA targeti...
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...
New genomic technologies are changing the face of cancer care, as well as accelerating our biological understanding of cancer. Cris will summarise several parallel cancer initiatives in New...
The All of Us (AoU) initiative aims to enhance personalized medical care by sequencing the genomes of over one million Americans of diverse ethnic backgrounds. To improve sequencing accuracy...
Allogenic cell therapies require the constant supply of billions of cells generated by robust, and economically viable bioprocesses. Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are a unique...
The detection and analysis of traces for the purpose of providing clues in criminal investigations has a rich history that dates back to the mid-18th Century. Traces are remnants of past eve...
Recurrently emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOC) present increasingly sophisticated immune escape strategies that fuel global infection rates, as exemplified by the raging B.1.1.529...
Short tandem repeats (STRs) are gold-standard genetic loci used for source attribution of evidentiary material in legal matters. Their power lies in their high heterozygosity and large allel...
From data to insight: Explore the full potential of high dimensional data by leveraging machine learning algorithms 1:30–2:00 pm PDT Presented By: Qianjun Zhang, MS Utilizing FCS Expre...
Substance use disorder (SUD) remains a highly stigmatized medical condition in the US. One of the most effective methods of treatment for SUD, specifically for opioid use disorder and alcoho...
Flow cytometry is a powerful technology for investigating questions related to the immune response and its sustenance, as well as detailed mechanisms of COVID-19. Simplified cell-based and b...
The microcapillary-based technology behind the Guava® range of flow cytometers and analyzers offers compact, waste-reducing solutions for all cell health verification and counting needs....
