Animal Communications: the transfer of information from one or a group of animals to one or more other animals that affect the current or future behavior of the receivers.
As the spread of infectious diseases, current pandemic, and growing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continues globally, next-generation sequencing (NGS) became a tool to diagnose infectious d...
As part of a large collaborative effort, we have used systems biology approaches to identify host factors that participate in SARS-CoV-2 replication. Protein-protein interactions maps betwee...
This presentation will discuss the use of the FDA EUA process to implement SARS-CoV-2 assays to address the COVID-19 pandemic. The use of a team-based approach, through an Incident Command s...
Enigmatic and often vilified, viruses are now known to play important and possibly indispensable roles in the biology and ecology of cellular organisms. Evidence of viral impacts are everywh...
Microbial biofilms form on all aquatic surfaces and can harbor pathogenic bacteria. In the aquaculture industry, Flavobacteria species can cause serious diseases and lead to high mortality....
The transfer of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARG) to pathogenic microbes is a major concern in modern medicine. Antibiotic therapies are often rendered ineffective by horizontal acquisiti...
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that is caused by the immune system’s inability to respond appropriately to an infection. How sepsis can change the gut microbiome in ways that a...
As a response to various inflammatory stimuli, neutrophils and macrophages expel a mixture of their nuclear and granular elements in the form of extracellular traps (ETs). These web-like sub...
Here I review the applications of Ion Torrent NGS technology in the field of microbiome research and some recent publications about it. With Ion Torrent 16S rRNA next generation sequencing,...
Accelerated development of mRNA-based vaccine has necessitated the transformation of standard, research grade in vitro transcription reagents into raw material specifically designed and manu...
The fast spread of SARS-Cov-2 sparked much interest in understanding the underlying genomics of this 30,000bp Coronavirus. Thus far, thousands of genome assemblies are available, yet they fe...
Analysis of antigen- and virus-specific T cells is essential to the understanding of fundamental immunological processes in the contexts of e.g. infectious diseases, immuno-oncology, as well...
Bringing a new research surgical model into production is always a challenging endeavor, and it has become much more challenging with the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic. The virus’...
When producing a quality vaccine, all manufacturers must confirm the purity as well as the stability of their formulation and final product. Sample quantity and measurement time are often th...
Understanding the complex interplay between a pathogen and the host response is important to developing effective vaccines and therapeutics. The nCounter® Analysis System and GeoMx®...
In his 2018 TED talk “How to build synthetic DNA and send it across the internet,” Dr. Dan Gibson highlighted a unique synthetic biology approach for fighting pandemics such as S...
Join us and hear from two Luminex® experts on our flexible solutions for molecular diagnostics. Dr. Sherry Dunbar and Dr. Aaron Benfield will describe our NxTAG® bead-based nucleic a...
The spread of the SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic is driving an urgent need for extensive testing, in order to quickly and accurately assess both who is infected, and who has been infected. I...
The 2020 pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) continues to rage. While PCR-based assays are used for viral diagnosis, high through-put, rapid s...
COVID 19 has resulted in diverse research needs ranging from mechanism and impact of the disease, to solutions to identify, combat or treat the disease. Cellular technologies such as flow an...
The COVID-19 pandemic is caused by a newly discovered coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. To characterize and detect this new virus, antibodies to support scientific research, diagnosis and vaccine dev...
Choosing the right solution for your laboratory’s SARS-CoV-2 testing needs can be a difficult decision. With the dynamic demand on labs, making the wrong choice could be catastrophic....
Emerging infectious diseases” are those that are rapidly increasing in incidence or geographic range. Most are zoonotic, entering the human population from other animal species. None e...
The spread of the SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic is driving an urgent need for extensive testing, including patients and health workers as a priority. The most sensitive and reliable method...
