Surface plasmon resonance is a real-time and label-free technique that offers low sample consumption and high throughput when compared to other biophysical techniques and has been widely ado...
For the past years, my laboratory has been working on microfluidic devices to enable the analysis of single cells. Our technology of choice has been droplet microfluidics that encapsulates s...
Cell therapies, including chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, are emerging as promising treatments, especially for hematological malignancies. However, many challenges remain in...
One of the central tenets of biology is that our genetics—our genotype—influences the physical characteristics we manifest—our phenotype. But with more than 25,000 human ge...
Rapid screening and speed of scale-up in protein therapeutics are critical factors in today’s biotech and pharma workflows. The ability to swiftly develop novel therapies often depends...
The implementation of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology in the clinical laboratory has allowed for large-scale panel testing of many genes simultaneously at a reduced cost and turn-...
Many nonhuman primate species show sex differences in behavior, which suggests that there may also be sex differences in brain organization. In order to better understand the evolution of se...
Macrophages have been implicated in both the resolution and progression of influenza, but the drivers of these outcomes are poorly understood. We probed mouse lung transcriptomic datasets us...
Summary: Cancer neoantigens are highly specific to the tumor, potently immunogenic and can be targeted by both vaccines and engineered cellular therapies. This talk will introduce the defini...
Neutrophils are the most abundant immune cells in human blood and are crucial for host defense against bacterial and fungal infections. Neutrophils are made mainly in the bone marrow from wh...
Accurate prediction of anticancer drug efficacy on each patient’s cancer before the initiation of therapy has the potential to significantly reduce the treatment burden and enhance cli...
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) uses a stand-displacing DNA polymerase and four to six primers to rapidly amplify DNA at a single temperature. By eliminating temperature cyclin...
Genetics may influence experience with cannabis and CBD. With increased access to legal cannabis and the research community expanding their focus on the medicinal uses of cannabinoids, more...
Immunoassays and mass spectrometric assays are the two major methodologies in contemporary clinical chemistry laboratories. While immunoassays are highly automated and offer a faster turnaro...
Discover how experience in utilizing a digital lab platform can elevate research workflows. Margriet will share insights, practical strategies, and success stories that demonstrate the benef...
With the health economic benefits of genetic testing clear, testing is becoming more accessible, which means constantly increasing throughput requirements for already stretched genomics......
The recent outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 underscores the need for understanding the evolutionary processes that drive the emergence and adaptation of zoonotic viruses in humans. Here, we show that...
As we further understand the complexity and diversity of cellular states, it is becoming necessary for a cellular engineering toolbox, consisting of molecular tools that allow control over c...
Data suggests that genetics comprises 42-58% of the prostate cancer risk. GWAS has found about 43% of the risk SNPs in Blacks and European Americans. Most of the SNPs that have been discover...
Numerous studies have shown that homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) is a genome-wide biomarker present in high grade ovarian and breast cancers. A cancer therapeutic class, PARP inhib...
The future of cancer care is contingent on better understanding of molecular, clinical, and outcome data. This can be achieved by leveraging collaborative affiliations and networks locally a...
Microfluidic technologies have opened up new possibilities for ultra-low volume, and ultrafast assays, compared to bulk-scale counterparts. We have been focused on developing new tools for d...
In the past decade, there has been an increasing emphasis on translational research focused on cell and gene therapy. This has led to significant scientific advances in understanding disease...
Learning Objectives: 1. Background introduction to AAV gene therapy 2. Novel methods to build AAV capsid libraries for in vivo screening through rational design and directed evolution 3. Tis...
