Antiplatelet therapy with aspirin (ASA) is widely used in cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention because it inhibits platelet cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and thromboxane A2 (TXA2)-mediated plat...
The GeneStrat® Genomic Test is a blood-based series of ddPCR tests for DNA (EGFR, KRAS, BRAF) and multiplexed assays for RNA variants (EML4-ALK, ROS1, RET). In this report we will u...
QuantiFERON TB (QFT) was the first interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) utilizing whole blood stimulation as a test for TB infection, gaining FDA approval in 2001. Subsequently there have be...
Free 25OH Vitamin D has received increasing attention over the last four years. More and more studies support the importance of free 25OH Vitamin D, suggesting that this fraction of 25OH Vita...
A panel of experts will discuss recent advances and current challenges for the successful development and application of human tissue for drug screening, tissue replacement and eventually org...
The role of the microbiology laboratory in the processing of positive patient blood cultures has become more complicated with the increasing demand for rapid information to assist in the mana...
This webinar builds and expands on the recent labroots webinar by Dr. Gary Horowitz to emphasize how relatively in expensive assay standardization procedures can be incorporated into clinical...
Therapeutic development for human diseases continues to face obstacles, particularly in translating targets or compounds identified by in vitro screening campaigns to valid targets or efficac...
Acute and chronic pain are often managed with drug therapy, which may include extended use of drug classes such as opioids and benzodiazepines. Pain does not go away, and may intensify...
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...
Adult stem cell research is one of the most dynamic and fast growing fields of our time. Investigating how organs maintain and repair themselves has led to the discovery of cell populations t...
This session will review and describe the basic steps of a biosafety risk assessment for clinical laboratories. The risk of exposure to infectious agents exists in every clinical labora...
Derivation of many different cell types from human pluripotent stem cells (embryonic stem cells or HESCs and induced pluripotent stem cells or hiPS cells) is an area of growing interest both ...
Concerted efforts over past decades have established a thorough understanding of the canonical somatic DNA methylation landscape as well as its systematic misregulation across many cancers. H...
Regulatory non coding RNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non coding RNAs (lncRNAs), have shown to be essential for animal development and viability, yet dissecting the relevance of i...
In today’s volatile Fetal Bovine Sera market, it is critical for researchers to understand the complex nature of the market especially with demand escalating every year. The deman...
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...
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...
Despite the fact that screening for many cancers is associated with net harm, healthcare consumers continue to be screened. PSA is the most commonly performed laboratory screening test for ca...
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...
Novel psychoactive substances (NPS) emerged in the United States around 2000. Initially, synthetic cannabinoids and stimulants prevailed. Now, designer opioids, benzodiazepines an...
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...
