Clinical biomarker are specific characteristics that can be measured in a clinical setting to indicate normal or abnormal functions. Analysis of clinical biomarkers can be used to diagnose a disease, assess the efficacy of an intervention, or plan an appropriate course of treatment.
Transcriptional profiling of the tumor microenvironment can lead to insights about the interaction between the tumor and immune system. This facilitates investigation of immune evasion mechan...
Dr. Tony Hu’s research focuses on developing and validating integrated nanotechnique-based strategies for marker discovery and molecular diagnostics in peripheral blood samples to provi...
The advent of next generation sequencing has transformed the way we identify mutations with clinical implications. As the compendium of variants expands, gathering the most current and accura...
The integration of next-generation sequencing (NGS) tests into clinical laboratory practice across medical disciplines provides medically actionable data that in some cases are not otherwise...
Currently, prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer in North America, the most frequent malignancy in men from all ethnicities, surpassing lung cancer. Prostate tumors...
Many direct immunoassays in use today for testosterone analysis are little better than a guess at the low levels that are sometimes required. This has led many clinical societies to adv...
Do you have targets that are difficult to genotype? Are you starting new projects and looking for a fast, convenient genotyping solution?Whether detecting mitochondrial disease targets, s...

The promise of precision and personalized medicine is rooted in accurate, highly sensitive, and specific disease biomarkers. This is particularly true for cancer-a disease characterized by ma...
In order to expand the treatment options of cancers driven by oncogenic RAS, new cell surface targets need to be identified and characterized. Here, we describe mass spectrometry based phenot...
The analysis of circulating biomarkers in a patient’s blood holds significant potential for early disease detection and disease monitoring. Circulating DNA is the most commonly studied...
We developed two computational methods, CARE and TIDE, to predict response and resistance to targeted therapies and immunotherapies. CARE infers gene signatures of targeted therapy response b...
Recent advances in flow and mass cytometry have greatly expanded the number of immune cell parameters that can be interrogated, resulting in an improved understanding of the immune system het...
Plant viruses cause significant damage in terms of reduction in quality and quantity of yield in a wide range of crop plants worldwide. The majority of plant viruses are transmitted from one...
Clinical microbiology has experienced an unprecedented wave of innovation due to the introduction of advanced testing such as PCR, MALDI-TOF, and PNA-FISH. The wave of new technologies...
Genome sequencing can be used to discover new pathogens but it can also be used to monitor known ones. This is known as genomic surveillance and it becoming an increasingly important tool in...
Males and females differ in their immunological responses to viral and vaccine antigens, with females typically mounting higher immune responses than males. These sex-based immunological diff...
An unbiased metagenomic next-generation approach (mNGS) been shown to be useful in the broad identification of pathogens in clinical samples for infectious disease diagnosis, including viruse...
The human large intestine houses trillions of microorganisms which collectively form the highly diverse microbial community known as the gut microbiota. The gut microbiota performs many funct...
Quinolones are one the most commonly prescribed classes of antibacterials in the world and are used to treat a broad variety of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial infections in humans....
INTRODUCTION: The recent coincidental emergence of the human microbiota and the Hologneomic Theory of Co-evolution unmasked the “Dual Citizenship” of symbiotic microbes and...
A rapidly growing number of viruses of lower eukaryotes have been reported in the past few decades. These have enhanced our understanding of virus evolution and diversity. Simultaneously, som...
The global threat of antimicrobial resistance has been recognized by the World Health Organization, the United Nations and many other expert bodies. The burden of resistant pathogens is immen...
