Optimizing a routine LC/MS workflow can greatly improve laboratory efficiency and time to results. Often, a considerable burden to improving LC/MS productivity is the time and cost associate...
DATE: May 28, 2020 TIME: 10:00am PT, 1:00pm ET Cardiac allograft rejection is a serious concern in transplant medicine, conferring an increased risk of acute graft failure and adverse patient...
A recently proposed model for the incorporation of xenobiotics of clinical and forensic interest into the human skeleton suggests nerve agent metabolites may incorporate into bone at relativ...
The central carbon metabolism including glycolysis, the pentose phosphate pathway, and the TCA-cycle is essential for all biological systems. The measurements of metabolites involved in thes...
DATE: May 27, 2020 TIME: 9:00am PT Analysis of antigen- and virus-specific T cells is essential to the understanding of fundamental immunological processes in the contexts of e.g. infectious...
DATE: May 27, 2020 TIME: 8:00am PT, 11:00am ET Multiplexed immunofluorescent imaging sheds new light on cancer and other complex conditions. This imaging technique offers a deeper understand...
DATE: May 26, 2020 TIME: 8:00am PT, 11:00am ET, 4:00pm BST, 5:00pm CEST The use of LC-MS/MS technologies in Endocrinology for clinical research is an area of rapid growth. This is a result o...
DATE: May 21, 2020 TIME: 8:00am PDT, 11:00am EDT The advent of CRISPR has radically changed the face and pace of biological research and has unlocked unprecedented potential in the study of...
Many questions at the forefront of biology depend on the interactions of millions of single cells. My lab develops technologies for studying large numbers of single cells. In this talk, I wi...
Precision medicine is the paradigm to develop treatments for patients based on molecular-targets that are effective in vivo when administered. In addition to identifying the molecular and ce...
The digital lab is knocking at your door. In the age of digitalization and Industry 4.0, the laboratory is also on its way to the future. Lab 4.0 includes robotic systems, fully automated wo...
Techniques to analyze and sort single cells based on secreted products have the potential to transform our understanding of cellular biology as well as accelerate the development of next gen...
Analytical Method Validation work is based on a variety of guidelines and requirements hence being time-consuming and stressful. Reducing this work and improving efficiency while ensuring th...
The basic units of biological structure and function are cells, which exhibit wide variation in regard to both type and state. We assess such variation by simultaneously profiling the transc...
The current gold standard for COVID-19 diagnosis is based on the detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid using real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Recent studies suggest limitations of RT-qPC...
The amount of data that is produced each day is mind boggling. Over 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created every single day, and this number continues to grow every single day. This year...
