Explainable AI (XAI) aims at helping you understand and interpret predictions made by AI techniques and tools. Recently, there has been a growing interest in XAI as many users want explanati...
Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases (AD, PD) are the two most common neurodegenerative disorders. Both diseases are characterized by abnormal aggregates in the brain, which incl...
Selective vulnerability of brain regions and specific neural populations in neurodegeneration remains little understood. We hypothesize that pre-existing physiological differences in neurons...
Black Americans have an increased risk for age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease (AD) compared to other ethnic and racialized groups. However, risk factors for age-relate...
Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are immortal cell lines that can be derived from skin or blood of any individual. Their unique property of pluripotency means they can be differe...
Neural networks are a powerful tool for modeling neural activity in the brain. In this talk, I will discuss how these models have helped in my own research and highlight recent work building...
Disability activists have sometimes claimed their disability has actually increased their well-being. Some even say they would reject a cure to keep these gains. Yet, these same activists of...
Some of the earliest symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are loss of orientation, wandering and misplacing items. One of the first regions vulnerable to AD pathology is the entorhinal...
Children efficiently develop their visual systems through learning from their environment. How this development unfolds in noisy real-world data streams remains largely unknown. Deep neural...
Natural Language Processing is experiencing a phenomenal capabilities acceleration since the introduction of Large Language Models (LLMs). This success stems in part from the ability to inge...
In this talk, I will discuss the development of interpretable machine learning models to test scientific hypotheses, with a specific focus on spinal motor control. Voluntary movement require...
Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) are a prevalent health issue in North America. There is increasing pressure to utilize ecologically valid models of closed-head mTBI in the preclinical...

Date: February 28, 2023 Time: 11:00am (PST), 2:00pm (EST), 8:00pm (CET) Traditional methods of infection prevention to detect healthcare-associated outbreaks have remained unchanged for many...
Date: February 28, 2023 Time: 8:00am (PST), 11:00am (EST), 5:00pm (CET) Prenatal infections can increase the risk of serious health complications including miscarriage, organ damage, birth...
Date: February 23, 2023 Time: 8:00am (PST), 11:00am (EST), 5:00pm (CET) The RNAscope in situ hybridization (ISH) technology is a powerful method for detecting gene expression with spatial an...
Have you ever tried to access the genomic profiles of cell lines before using them in your preclinical experiments just to come up empty-handed? Maybe you’ve scoured public databases f...
Immunogens with native conformation and a high-throughput IgG cloning platform are two of the most important key components for high quality lead antibody molecules discovery. DIMABIO’...
Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a life-threatening complication following heparin exposure. This webinar presentation will discuss the pathogenesis, incidence, clinical...
If you use a pipette on a daily basis, then this webinar is for you. Pipettes are used to prepare samples, blanks, and standards for a range of analytical experiments. This is why the wrong...
Date: February 22, 2023 Time: 9:00am (PST), 12:00pm (EST), 6:00pm (CET) Circular plasmid DNA has traditionally been used as a stable and efficient vector for gene expression and HDR-mediated...
In general, once a receptor drug target has been validated for the treatment of a particular condition, either a high throughput screen is carried out to identify potential hits, or existing...
Antibody-based therapeutics are helping patients across a wide range of disease areas, from cancer, such as Rituximab treatment of CD20-positive non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, to infectious di...
