Stay informed on developments in cancer and oncology diagnosis, prevention and treatment through these curated webinars. As the race toward a cure for cancer continues, advances in cancer research are constantly revealed as innovation in the field of oncology progresses.
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...
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...
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....
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...
The ultimate promise of tumor immunotherapy is dependent on the generation of effective immunity against cancer, including CD4 and CD8 T cell responses. However, activating T cells in cancer...
The microenvironment of many solid tumors impedes many immunotherapeutic treatments by inhibiting the effector functions of many classes of anti-tumor immune cells, including effector T cell...
Antibody-based cancer therapies have clear advantages over chemotherapeutic drugs thanks to their high specificity and low risk of side effects. However, it can be difficult to identify targ...
Human solid tumors, like breast cancers, represent a heterogeneous group of diseases that is best demonstrated through many differences in clinical outcomes within homogenously treated patie...
Molecular diagnostic tests are currently used for infectious disease testing due to the superior sensitivity and specificity that can be obtained. Due to the success that has been obtained w...
Tumors invade surrounding tissue as cancer progresses, but the heterogeneity of cell types at the tumor-stroma interface and the complexity of their interactions has hampered mechanistic ins...
We recently determined that concurrent inhibition of autophagy, using the lysosomal inhibitor chloroquine (CQ), and of ERK, using a small molecule ERK inhibitor (ERKi), synergistically suppr...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a computer program designed to perform operations typical of human intelligence, such as self-learning. AI is taking over different fields in science; we alre...
Prostate cancer (PCa) affects one in nine men and is the most diagnosed solid tumor cancer among men in the United States. The introduction of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) biomarker b...
Individuals with Lynch syndrome (LS) are prone to develop early-onset mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) colorectal- and endometrial cancers due to germline pathogenic variants (PVs) in one of...
Date: May 5, 2022 Time: 9:00am (PDT), 12:00pm (EDT) In a time when there is global urgency around producing and deploying as many COVID-19 vaccines as...
Date: April 27, 2022 Time: 8:00am (PDT), 11:00am (EDT), 5:00pm (CET) Join Mick D. Edmonds, PhD, Assistant Professor and Director, Genetic and Genomic Sciences Program at University of Alabam...
Date: April 19, 2022 Time: 7:00am (PDT), 10:00am (EDT), 4:00pm (CEST) High-content (HC) phenotypic profiling approaches are a powerful tool to study the effect of biological, genetic, and ch...
A hypoxic tumour microenvironment is a feature of solid tumours. Many tumour types contain high fractions of hypoxic tissue. The relationship between high levels of tumour hypoxia and a poor...
Date: April 05, 2022 Time: 10:00am (PDT), 1:00pm (EDT), 7:00pm (CET) Machine learning (ML) offers many benefits to researchers using a wide range of microscopy techniques. Easier workflows,...
Date: March 29, 2022 Time: 8:00am (PDT), 11:00pm (EDT), 5:00pm (CET) Every purchasing decision you make for your lab today impacts the environmental stor...
Date: March 16, 2022 Time: 9:00am (PDT), 12:00pm (EDT), 6:00pm (CEDT) With a renewed and growing interest in therapeutic oligonucleotides (oligos) across the pharmaceutical industry, the req...
Date: March 15, 2022 Time: 8:00am (PDT), 11:00am (EDT), 5:00pm (CEDT) Centrifuges are pillars of most biology applications. As cell therapy manufacturing studies have been picking up pace, t...
