The universe contains all of space, time, matter, and energy. The observable universe measures approximately 93 billion light-years in diameter today, although the size of the entire universe remains unknown.
Three popular microplastic identification methods were practically compared with real complex environmental samples. The advantages and limitations of each method including analysis time, fa...
Accuracy and utility of spectral analysis has plateaued, but techniques are still are not good enough for many environmental forensics applications (such as microplastic analysis). The prima...
When SARS-CoV-2 reached the United States in late January 2020, Labcorp immediately began development of an RT-PCR test to aid in detection and diagnosis of COVID-19 in infected patients. As...
Dr. Jordan RoseFigura from Swift Biosciences will present on the technology created to enable this research that covers 99.7 % of the SARS-CoV-2 genome from limited viral titers. Including a...
This presentation will focus on strategies for the design and validation of robust assays for the detection of SARS-CoV-2, including nucleic acid extraction, multiplexed qPCR assays, and int...
Several SARS-CoV-2 variants are circulating globally. The most prominent variants of concern, including the B.1.1.7, B.1.351 and B1.1.28 lineages, not only carry a constellation of genetic m...
The COVID19 pandemic continues to be a major epidemiological challenge across the globe. Part of the challenge, often seen with viruses, is that the nucleic acid genome quickly mutates, prod...
Despite available vaccines and treatments, COVID-19 continues to impose a major burden in the world, as a leading cause of hospitalizations and deaths. We and others have been working in te...
Asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection and delayed implementation of diagnostics have led to poorly defined viral prevalence rates. To address this, we analyzed seropositivity in US adults who ha...
Date: April 14, 2021 Time: 9:00am PDT Testing solutions for CoV-2 have had to evolve as the pandemic creates challenges and opportunities for various technologies to support the ongoing nee...
The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) uses a hybrid modeling approach to generate Covid19 forecasts. The model incorporates elements of statistical and disease transmission...
COVID 19 is caused by a new coronavirus , SARS-CoV-2, which is highly infectious and can cause a wide spectrum of symptoms and affect multiple human systems. What we have learned from other...
Developing an in vitro diagnostic device is often a complex and demanding process. Doing so in the midst of a pandemic and the IVD global supply chain stretched like never before, with proje...
Vaccines to prevent COVID-19 were developed within 1 year after the identification of SARS-CoV-2 as the causative virus. There are now 3 vaccines that are FDA approved via Emergency Use Auth...
Anthropogenic microparticles, including microplastics, are commonly found in nearshore environments, where they may be entrained in coastal waters, sequestered in sediments, or ingested by a...

Over a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, key vulnerable populations in the United States and across the world lack access to effective vaccines. IDRI has developed technology that addresses s...
At UC Davis we have implemented rapid, inexpensive, high throughput testing for SARS-Cov-2 using technology repurposed from the agricultural biotechnology sector. As part of Healthy Davis To...
Date: April 13, 2021 Time: 07:00am PST Trends continue towards the development of more sophisticated and physiologically relevant 3D in vitro models, such as stem cell-derived models, organo...
Hawaiʻi is one of Earth’s most beautiful, yet plastic polluted, marine environments. This presentation will provide an overview of microplastic research in Hawaiian beach sand, sea tur...
I will first discuss findings from the larger field on microplastics effects across taxa in freshwater and marine ecosystems, and then cover ongoing work in our research group comparing resp...
