SARS-CoV-2 vaccine efficacy testing is now facing increasing challenges in the face of an ongoing pandemic with the emergence of new variants and waning vaccine immunity. Evidence supports t...
Background Protection from SARS-CoV-2 vaccines wanes over time and is compounded by emerging variants including Omicron subvariants. This study evaluated safety and immunogenicity of SARS-Co...
The host antiviral innate immune response protects the host against infection. Like with other viruses, the host recognizes SARS-CoV-2 infection and triggers a series of signaling cascades t...
Vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 have been made in a record time. However, although the vaccines that have been deployed have clearly reduced the percentage of severe infections in countries wher...
At the end of 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), emerged in China. As of September 2022, SARS-CoV...
The diagnosis of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is challenging during pregnancy. Pregnant women often present with symptoms compatible with VTE. The use of conventional diagnostic algorithms is...

Date: October 11, 2022 Time: 7:00am (PDT), 10:00am (EDT), 4:00pm (CEST) Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the leading health threats facing humankind. With AMR, microbes can withstand...
One of the central tenets of biology is that our genetics—our genotype—influences the physical characteristics we manifest—our phenotype. But with more than 25,000 human ge...
Precision medicine is transforming cancer care, with next-generation sequencing (NGS) enabling the simultaneous analysis of multiple genomic alterations with therapeutic implications. Howeve...
Variation in gene expression among cell types, tissues, and organisms is commonly examined by reverse transcription quantitative PCR, or RT-qPCR. In this process, RNA is isolated from sample...
The future of cancer care is contingent on better understanding of molecular, clinical, and outcome data. This can be achieved by leveraging collaborative affiliations and networks locally a...
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is an important technology that reveals gene expression differences between different cell types. Yet scRNA-seq data can be challenging to analyze and...
Date: October 06, 2022 Time: 7:00am (PDT), 10:00am (EDT), 4:00pm (CEST) Confocal microscopy is a very popular imaging technique for high-quality imaging of biological samples, especially in...
Breast cancer is the number one cause of cancer in women. Although many risk factors for breast cancer have been identified, only some are modifiable. Since 2004, incidence rates have been r...
Gene regulatory networks are representations of the relationship between transcription factors and their target genes. By modeling gene regulatory networks, it is possible to identify change...
Mathematical methods can be used to study evolutionary processes associated with carcinogenesis. Selection, mutation, and drift all play a role in cancer dynamics and cancer treatment. I wil...
Successful cancer patient advocacy has many components. Patients and survivors are in the best position to tell their stories and advocate for better care and treatment. However, with few su...
Bromodomains (BRDs) are evolutionarily conserved protein domains that interact with acetylated histones and set off a chain of events that includes recruiting transcription factors and other...
Uterine leiomyosarcoma (uLMS) is a rare aggressive sarcoma of the smooth muscle layer of the uterus manifested in high local recurrence and metastatic rate. Currently, effective treatment of...
Jeff Borgia, Ph.D. is the Director of the Rush Cancer Center Biorepository, where he oversees the collection and annotation of patient specimens in support of ongoing translational research...
Learning Objectives: 1. Classify the obstacles to successful manufacturing of antigen-specific T-cells in immunotherapy. 2. Highlight the effects of CD45RA+ subsets in expansion of antigen-s...
Learning Objectives 1. Identify 3 obstacles that inhibit the immune cell response to cancer. 2. List 3 aspects of T cells antitumor function that can be improved with costimulatory signals....
Key to precision oncology is the development of expert databases that organize and standardize information on cancer-related genetic variants, as well as their associated diagnostic, prognos...
Date: October 05, 2022 Time: 7:00am (PDT), 10:00am (EDT), 4:00pm (CEST) Cancer is a complex disease at the level of both cells and tissues, and uncovering novel treatments requires understan...
