Cancer: is a disease in which abnormal cells divide uncontrollably and destroy body tissue. Cancerous tumors are malignant, which means they can spread into, or invade, nearby tissues.
Today's presentation will cover the following topics from the perspective of a NYC based Laboratory: What have we learned year to date about CoV-2 and specifically how diagnostic testing...
As many parts of the northern hemisphere move into the colder months and indoors, SARS CoV-2 has begun a second infection wave that has exceeded the first surge of cases in many global regio...
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is a key analyte for liquid biopsy samples. Due to extremely low concentration and high degree of fragmentation, the extraction of cfDNA is technically challenging. Her...
Date: November 12, 2020 Time: 10:00am (PST), 1:00pm (EST) Fc receptor based affinity chromatography is a new emerging field of Fc functionality analytics. FcRn affinity columns separate anti...
Ensuring that clinical tests are not affected by tumor heterogeneity requires a sampling methodology that captures the genomic, proteomic, and cellular diversity of entire solid tumors. Howe...
Testing volumes need to increase by orders of magnitude in order to restore communities back to normality. This workshop focuses on solutions that equip laboratories to participate in expand...
Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture spheroids and aggregates are preferred over monolayer cell culture due to their architectural and functional similarity to solid tumors. To study expressi...
Date: November 12, 2020 Time: 8:00am (PST), 11:00am (EST) Vaccine development, disease diagnosis and early medical intervention are all supported by Raman spectroscopy. This tool provides ri...
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) has been an indispensable tool for daily pathology practice. Multiplex designs have further facilitated its utility with improved efficacy. Several techniques of m...
In 2012, the Choosing Wisely initiative was commenced by the ABIM with numerous societies putting forward lists of overused tests or procedures. The Choosing Wisely movement has spread to nu...
Date: November 12, 2020 Time: 7:00am (PST), 10:00am (EST), 3:00pm (BST), 4:00pm (CET) Cell sorting is used for a wide range of applications, from profiling immune subsets to sorting cancer c...
The nuclear proliferation biomarker Ki-67 has multiple potential roles in breast and other cancers, both as a prognostic but also predictive marker. However, several studies have shown that...
Point-of-care testing (POCT) is destined to play a much greater role in chronic disease diagnosis and management. Advanced POCT systems are being developed to deliver less costly and more ac...
Clinical Laboratories have the opportunity to support value based health care by aligning with organizational strategies that focus on population health and creating meaningful insights usin...
The opioid crisis has put significant strain on the healthcare system and resources, including the clinical laboratory which has seen significant increases in requests for urine drug screeni...
Cancer cells can acquire immune resistance resulting in a loss of immunosurveillance. Tumor cells can upregulate PDL-1 which binds to PD-1. This complex inhibits CD8 Tumor Infiltrating cells...
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is used to determine spatial relationships where we can identify the localization of target proteins in specific regions and cells of a tissue. IHC has been the go...
Multiplexing IHC is a technique that is increasing in demand as more and more researchers and physicians are being tasked with doing more with less. With multiplexing, you have the advantage...
Patient laboratory test results are significantly over-represented in electronic medical records, but significantly under-utilized in research. An important application of laboratory data is...
Cases of traumatic brain injury (TBI) have been steadily rising over the past decade with most common causes of injury observed among participants in contact sports, combat military personne...
DATE: Date needed, 2020 TIME: Time needed Exosomes are a population of naturally occurring mobile, membrane-limited, 30 – 100 nm in diameter, extracellular vesicles containing a large...
Dr. Bacher will be discussing the history and evolution of MSI, the differences between popular testing methods, and what the future holds for this powerful biomarker....
