Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is the primary technology used to identify genomic targets for vaccine development, detect emerging viral strains and monitor transmission patterns. Enhanced...
Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are a promising source of personalized therapy. These cells can provide immune-compatible autologous replacement tissue for the treatment of potentially a...
Emerging technologies facilitate basic science research, but their value in regulatory applications requires rigorous assessment and consensus within the research community. Next-generation s...
The presentation will provide a review of major emerging zoonotic virus outbreaks from Hendra virus in 1994 in Australia to SARS-CoV-2 in China 2019 and our latest findings on bat biology an...
Medical Technology Partner’s presentation is designed highlight what Medicare is proposing to do based on the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of April 1, 2014 with regard to clinical...
Nonhuman primates in captivity are typically provided with a multitude of behavioral management opportunities, including naturalistic social groupings, foraging devices, complex physical envi...
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is a key analyte for liquid biopsy samples. Due to extremely low concentration and high degree of fragmentation, the extraction of cfDNA is technically challenging. Her...
In-house testing is not required federally; however, states differ in their requirements. Cannabis extraction laboratories need to test extracts for pesticides, heavy metals, residual solven...
The human race, like all macrobiological life, evolved in a sea of microbes. There was no way to keep the bacterial and archaeal hoards at bay, so instead life evolved mechanisms to live with...
In December 2012 the UK Prime Minister announced the 100,000 genomes project to introduce whole genome sequencing for treatment into the UK National Health Service (NHS) o...
From basic chemistry to complex digestions, the right fume hood exists for every application. In this presentation we will discuss chemical fume hoods......
The Infectious Diseases Pathology Branch of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) routinely receives autopsy and biopsy tissues for diagnostic evaluation. These tissues are typ...
Brain function is remarkably reliable despite the imprecise performance of neurons, and the continuous perturbations caused by aging, disease or injury. How does the brain succeed in produci...
The advent of the microarray technology in 2000 has paved the way for advanced translational research methods that use molecular markers such as microRNA, proteins, metabolites and copy numbe...
Training for researchers using animals is a requirement in most European countries. However, somewhat surprisingly, the main actor in providing specific guidelines for such training is a scie...
Liquid chromatography high resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-TOF-MS) is becoming increasingly popular in the clinical research laboratory. It can offer higher throughput and sup...
All forms of life require immune systems to stave off infection from viruses and other pathogens. In bacteria and archaea, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) a...
The immune system is capable of recognizing tumors and eliminates many early malignant cells. However, tumors evolve to evade immune attack, and the tumor microenvironment is immunosuppressiv...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) is a global pandemic that has impacted the lives of the entire world’s population. Accurate and effective testing mechanisms to identify those with...
Technological advances allow for the large scale sequencing of the whole human genome. Most studies have generated population-based information on human diversity using low to intermediate co...
Cell culture continues to be a critical tool for most life science research and applications. From HeLa to iPSCs and 3D to organoids, culture methods have become more advanced and techniques...
Flow cytometry is a powerful technique for the analysis of multiple parameters of individual cells within heterogeneous populations. Flow cytometers are used in a broad range of applications...
Pathology departments are under significant pressure to meet the demands of a precise medicine environment where general phenotypic attributes are no longer sufficient for accurately defining...
Western blotting is a widely used and accepted technique to detect levels of protein expression in a cell or tissue extract. This webinar will cover the electrophoresis, transfer, and detecti...
The explosion of biomedical data such as in genomics, structure biology and pharmacology can provide new opportunities to improve our understanding of human physiology and disease. Understan...
Human breast tumors have been shown to exhibit extensive inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity. While recent advances in genomic technologies have allowed us to deconvolute this heterogeneity,...
Interference in laboratory assays is a concern since it can positively or negatively influence test results, which can affect patient care. Interferents could be endogenous or exogenous comp...
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is the primary technology used to identify genomic targets for vaccine development, detect emerging viral strains and monitor transmission patterns. Enhanced...
