Learn about the latest medical breakthroughs by participating in webinars on topics surrounding disease, prevention and treatment in accordance with the latest research in health and medicine. Updates encompass a biological, psychological and sociological understanding of health.
Critical in control of this pandemic is the ability to rapidly identify infectious individuals prior to their ability to infect others. With the introduction of better testing capacity and a...
This is a technical talk. Its objective is to provide details of virus sequencing, using SARS-CoV-2 as an example. Knowing the details, strengths, and limitations of virus sequencing will en...
Many clinically approved drugs that are prescribed to modulate human physiology are also potent antimicrobials at physiological concentrations. Recent systematic studies indicate that bacter...
Mammalian mucosal niches are colonized by a complex ecosystem of viruses, bacteria and fungi termed the microbiome. Unlike the gut microbiome, the vaginal microbiome is composed of small num...
Over 80% of opportunistic infections in humans are caused by microbial biofilms. Traditional methods of study for these infections have focused on single species yet there is a wealth of evi...
1. Identify the basic characteristics of the vaginal microbiota 2. Identify some ways in which the vaginal microbiota may protect against acquisition of sexually transmitted and urogenital i...
The vaginal microbiome is a critical component of female health. More than 30% of people with vaginas suffer from imbalances in the microbiome (e.g. bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, an...
In all organisms, innate immune pathways sense infection and rapidly activate potent immune responses while maintaining a high degree of specificity to prevent inappropriate activation (auto...
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. This presentation will summarise the epidem...
Human intestinal epithelial cells (hIECs) are arranged as a monolayer of cells and provide the first line of defense against invading pathogens. Upon viral infection hIECs upregulate type I...
We live in a revolutionary era during which technology is leading to amazing advances in medicine. Parallel and aided by the development of artificial intelligence (AI) are the emergence of...
HIV-1 replicates in the body as a large viral population. Along with its high error rate during viral DNA synthesis and its short replication time (24 hours), the virus maintains sequence di...
Macrophages have been implicated in both the resolution and progression of influenza, but the drivers of these outcomes are poorly understood. We probed mouse lung transcriptomic datasets us...
Antibiotic treatment failure poses a burden on global public health systems. Bacteria can acquire mutations and extrachromosomal genes that allow them to be resistant to our existing drugs....
Date: August 31, 2022 Time: 8:00am (PDT), 11:00am (EDT), 5:00pm (CEST) Antibodies are specialized proteins generated by an immune system in response to disease and infection. The staining ge...
Date: August 18, 2022 Time: 10:00am (PDT), 1:00pm (EDT), 7:00pm (CEST) Learning Objectives Discuss evolving etiologies for Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) Review the role of biomarkers in...
Date: August 16, 2022 Time: 8:00am (PDT), 11:00am (EDT), 5:00pm (CEST) Physicians caring for expecting or pregnant mothers successfully manage pregnancy with the help of screening and diagno...
Date: July 20, 2022 Time: 8:00am (PDT), 11:00am (EDT), 5:00pm (CEST) Have your research results or laboratory processes been bogged down by poor staining quality of histology slides? We all k...
Date: July 19, 2022 Time: 8:00am (PDT), 11:00am (EDT), 5:00pm (CEST) Cryo-EM is rapidly becoming the method of choice for structural biologists and biochemists around the world, helping thes...
Date: May 25, 2022 Time: 6:00am (PDT), 9:00am (EDT), 3:00pm (CEST) This webinar aims to: Raise awareness for risks to mothers and babies with CMV infection Outline diagnostic and disease man...
Microfluidic Tech has served millions of lives through the Biotech industry, whether in life science research or clinical diagnostics. Most of these technologies are spawned at academic and...
A biobank is a laboratory facility that accepts, processes, stores, and distributes samples and data, for use by research institutions. The role is to store these collections and to keep bio...
As regulatory requirements continue to evolve, and instrumentation becomes more sophisticated, laboratories find themselves managing increasing amounts of data, a comprehensive data manageme...
The global pandemic has increased focus and scrutiny on molecular diagnostic assay development, resulting in a need for assays that provide quick results while delivering expected performanc...
Current drug discovery workflows rely on the synthesis and bioactivity assessment of large compound libraries, both processes which heavily depend on high-throughput (HT) experimentation to...
When designing or implementing laboratory automation, we often have a fully automated end-goal in mind. We dream of leveraging automation to enable processes that run uninterrupted, preferab...
Cancers are genetic diseases driven by recurrent sets of somatic mutations. Different mutations associate statistically with distinct disease risks and can therefore be useful prognostic mar...
Critical in control of this pandemic is the ability to rapidly identify infectious individuals prior to their ability to infect others. With the introduction of better testing capacity and a...
