The adolescent brain has been forged by evolution to have different features than those of a child or an adult, but it is not broken or defective. Phenomenal ability to adapt to environ...
In spite of significant progress in disease diagnosis and treatment, racial and ethnic minorities experience lower quality of care and poorer outcomes for certain conditions than non-minorit...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a significant contributor to cancer-related mortality in the United States and worldwide. Current treatments are largely ineffective: single agent and combin...
Point-of-care testing (POCT) is diagnostic testing at the time and place of patient care in a physician’s office, an ambulance, a mobile clinic, at home or in hospital. Rapid POC testi...
Digital pathology has a crucial role in diagnostic pathology and is increasingly a technological requirement in the field. Integration of digital slides into the pathology workflow, advanced...
Severe SARS-CoV-2 infection often leads to development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), with profound pulmonary patho-histological changes post-mortem. In this study, we utiliz...
This presentation discusses the advantages and disadvantages of robotic surgery. The initial goals for a robotic prostatectomy will be discussed as well as patient expectations and outcomes.&...
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has become a foundational tool for both biological research and in-vitro diagnostics, particularly in oncology, immunology, and detection of genetic disorder...
This session introduces basic concepts of imaging-based high-throughput screening (HTS) and high-throughput profiling assay development. Imaging-based HTS assays are designed to evaluate a d...
In his 2018 TED talk “How to build synthetic DNA and send it across the internet,” Dr. Dan Gibson highlighted a unique synthetic biology approach for fighting pandemics such as S...
This presentation will discuss variables in rodent colony management that can affect colony breeding efficiency, rodent health, and factors that can modulate rodent models of disease. V...
