Esophageal adenocarcinoma [EAC] is the fastest growing in incidence cancer in the US over the last 25 years, while also having a 5 year survival of less than 20%. Barrett’s Esophagus [...
Follow us on a journey of single cell data exploration. See how you can Process, Analyze, Compare, and Contextualize, your results to identify novel biological relationships and drive new hy...
Regardless of method, single cell RNA-seq only captures a small fraction of the transcriptome of each cell. Often, this is due to inherent limitations of the methodology as reads ‘drop...
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...
Revolutionary sequencing technologies are enabling whole transcriptome profiling of tens to hundreds of thousands of single cells in parallel, in a single experiment. This has led to an expl...
While early genetic diagnosis can guide critical care management, the turnaround time for whole genome based diagnostic testing is months. Recent programs in neonatal populations have reduce...
Long read Structural Variation calling remains a challenging but highly accurate way to identify complex genomic alterations. To address this challenge, we developed Sniffles2, a successor t...
Infectious disease monitoring on Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) platforms offers rapid turnaround times and low cost. Tracking low frequency intra-host variants provides important insigh...
The combination of the wealth of genomic and phenotypic datasets to the measurement of the circulating proteome enables a snapshot of real-time biology and important results for determining...
Understanding the order in which mutations accumulate during cancer progression could help us identify effective therapeutic targets. Yet, our insights are limited by the fact that we can on...
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...
Sex differences play an important role in development and progression of many diseases, and understanding how a disease differs between the sexes is essential for the advancement of preventi...
The vast structural diversity of proteins is responsible for their functional versatility, but also makes their expression and purification a demanding task. Tagging proteins with affinity t...
Learning Objectives: 1. Explain what is gene therapy is. 2. Explain what steps are involved for getting a gene therapy product to the clinic. 3. Discuss development and manufacturing process...
There is growing interest in the development of integrated continuous bioprocesses for the production of important biotherapeutics due to the potential for enhanced productivity, greater fle...
The design, optimization and troubleshooting of industrial bioprocesses are still largely based on empirical knowledge. Thus, the goal and motivation is to base these processes on a comprehe...
In the last decades, the upstream processing in biopharma industry has been revolutionized regarding the production of bioactive materials such as monoclonal antibodies, proteins and biother...
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...
Currently over 95 % of pharmaceutical products and transport fuels are derived from petroleum. Sustainable alternatives are critical to achieving net-zero emissions without detriment to qual...
The application of modeling tools to better understand and control bioprocess development and manufacturing has become a hot topic within the last few years. However, what do we actually nee...
