ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. A-myo-trophic comes from the Greek language. "A" means no. "Myo" refers to muscle, and "Trophic" means nourishment - "No muscle nourishment."
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in over 7 million cases and more than 428000 cases to date. While public health interventions and social distancing measures have been effective in slowing...
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...
Microtubules (MTs) are dynamic cytoskeleton polymers forming a polarized intracellular network that provides structural support, facilitates intracellular transport and drives chromosome seg...
Many questions at the forefront of biology depend on the interactions of millions of single cells. My lab develops technologies for studying large numbers of single cells. In this talk, I wi...
Background: CDK4/6 inhibitors increase tumor immunogenicity in preclinical models of breast cancer and several trials combining CDK4/6 inhibitors and anti-PD1/PDL1 therapies are underway. Ho...
Precision medicine is the paradigm to develop treatments for patients based on molecular-targets that are effective in vivo when administered. In addition to identifying the molecular and ce...
Design and interpretation of genome sequencing assays and data in both clinical diagnostics and research labs is complicated by an inability to identify information from the medical literatu...
The amount of data that is produced each day is mind boggling. Over 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created every single day, and this number continues to grow every single day. This year...
Proteins are the functional blocks of any biological entity from 50 nm sized viruses to the 100 ft long mammals (blue whale). They perform intra cellular, tissue, organ, system, or organism...
We describe a mass spectrometry (MS) analytical platform resulting from the novel integration of acoustic droplet ejection (ADE) technology, an open-port interface (OPI), and electrospray io...
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...
The digital lab is knocking at your door. In the age of digitalization and Industry 4.0, the laboratory is also on its way to the future. Lab 4.0 includes robotic systems, fully automated wo...
Techniques to analyze and sort single cells based on secreted products have the potential to transform our understanding of cellular biology as well as accelerate the development of next gen...
LIMS systems are used extensively in laboratories everywhere. As a tool in the lab we need to be able to trust the system to have the necessary data integrity. Just like the analytical metho...
Analytical Method Validation work is based on a variety of guidelines and requirements hence being time-consuming and stressful. Reducing this work and improving efficiency while ensuring th...
The basic units of biological structure and function are cells, which exhibit wide variation in regard to both type and state. We assess such variation by simultaneously profiling the transc...
The current gold standard for COVID-19 diagnosis is based on the detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid using real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Recent studies suggest limitations of RT-qPC...
Concerns about the quality of published animal research include inefficient or flawed study design, inappropriate statistical analysis and incomplete reporting. The ARRIVE guidelines were de...
The justification of sample size is one of the hardest sections of a proposal an IACUC (ethical review board) has to assess, yet is arguably one of the most important (1). This is a key oppo...
Inherent in research, is the simplification of a complex world into a testing space to explore cause and effect. Across preclinical research, questions are being raised on the testing space...
In the course of the so-called reproducibility crisis, various sources of poor reproducibility of animal research have been identified, including a lack of scientific rigor, low statistical...
Digital technology is improving the speed and accuracy of all the world’s work processes and activities, the including the research vivarium. This presentation will address some of way...
Compassion Fatigue can affect all those that care for and work with laboratory animals, including husbandry staff, veterinary staff, researchers, and other support staff. It is known as the...
