Inherited disorders affect millions of people globally. These diseases significantly impact lives of patients and their families, and in addition, also results in substantial socio-economic i...
Biopharmaceuticals produced with mammalian cells are the key drivers for the medication of former untreatable diseases. The development of their production processes is still challenging bec...
Over 40 tandem repeats undergo expansion events that lead to neurological disease. This number is likely an underestimate as many repeats are difficult to amplify using existing short read s...
The recent development of highly multiplexed methods for imaging tissues from patients and mouse models promises to fundamentally advance research in tissue biology and disease. These new te...
One challenge pharmaceutical companies face, is moving promising biotherapeutic products into the clinic as fast as safely possible. Devoting the correct amount of time and resources to earl...
We were interested in determining the effect if any on growing conditions on clones of the same cannabis plant. In particular we were interested in the difference between plants grown outdoo...
The ultimate limits of diagnostics in biology are the “quantum” units that convey information, e.g. single nucleic acids, proteins, and cells. Microfluidics has emerged as a power...
Integrated protocols and live-cell analysis solutions for different 3D tumor modelsIn the search for greater clinical translation, cancer researchers are increasingly turning to more comp...
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 can be engineered for...
There are many methods of nucleic acid isolation. Each technology offers different approaches of purification of the template. However, it is important to control carry over of “proces...
The pandemic sent pharmaceutical and medical device industries scrambling to continue operations under social distancing guidelines. Businesses sent their employees to work from home, yet so...
If you have ever worked in the field of gene-editing, then you must know the powerful gene-editing technology known as CRISPR. It has the potential to alter science and biotechnology at an i...
In the US, there are about 75 million individuals less than 18 years of age. COVID-19 has had a major impact on the pediatric population, as there have been more than 13.5 million documented...
Engineered cell therapy is an emerging field of science to target and treat cancer. Current strategies include utilizing immune cells such as T cells, NK cells and Macrophages or other cells...
Introducing the new CytoScan HD Accel microarray that significantly improves the power and speed of genome-wide copy number analysis using industry-leading Chromosomal Microarray (CMA). The...
In this talk, we will discuss the nuts and bolts of the novel continuous-time neural network models: Liquid Time-Constant Networks (LTCs). Liquid neural networks are nonlinear state-space mo...
Learning Objectives: 1. Understand methods of isolating and enriching exosomes along with their pros/cons of the different techniques 2. What do we mean when we talk about subtyping, and wha...
Biobanks are a powerful resource in the advancement of precision medicine, and integrating large scale genomics data across Biobank cohorts offer opportunities to further enhance and expedite...
Developing new diagnostic and therapeutic tools for brain disorders is an ethical imperative and conducting human research with neural devices is a key step towards achieving that goal. Condu...
The intrinsic activity of the brain is organized into networks and motifs that vary over time. To understand how coordinated macroscale patterns of intrinsic activity flow across the brain&r...
Viral Vector gene therapy has been the focus of intense research driven by the safety profile and several clinical breakthroughs. As of March 2022, there are two viral vector gene therapies...
Authors: Mark C. Benfield, Elizabeth Marchio, Aimee Thomas, Kyrsten Boswell, and Nicole Nguyen. In August 2020 the MV Bianca lost a shipping container filled with an estimated 750 million ra...
Currently in the cannabis industry, there are many different regulations and guidelines. From the federal level with the USDA and DEA, to each individual state, testing laboratories and thei...
Best practices for developing precision medicine diagnostics can include completing a retrospective analysis. Obtaining enough samples to have a statistically significant study typicall...
