Wastewater samples are challenging substrates for nucleic acid extraction, and choice of extraction method will determine the success of downstream analysis. Extraction methods must be able...
With an increased need for surveillance in the present COVID-19 environment, saliva has stood out and demonstrated it's performance equivalence to existing sample collection techniques s...
Since the initial COVID-19 outbreak, the SARS-CoV-2 virus has mutated, resulting in a range of variants. SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern, exemplified most recently with Omicron, need to be de...
With over 500 million COVID-19 cases and more than 6 million deaths, the COVID-19 pandemic remains a global health threat maintained by the impact of a changing virus. Emerging SARS-CoV-2 va...
The coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has led to a worldwide pandemic. Beside respiratory symptoms, infected people may develop neurologic dysfunctions such as loss of smell and taste, also seizures, a...
The IHME COVID-19 Projection Model has been two years in the making, and this talk will share details on how it works and what it says about our current point in the COVID pandemic as well a...
The Sarbecoviruses encodes a large panel of highly heterogeneous, but related zoonotic, epidemic and pandemic coronaviruses that include SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV2, which have been associated wit...
The need for next-generation, broadly protective coronavirus vaccines is underscored by the accelerated pace at which human coronaviruses have been emerging, the evolution of the current pan...
This presentation will focus on the near- and medium-term future of COVID. COVID will become endemic, but what does this really mean? How will COVID affect longevity in the United States? Wh...
During COVID-19, he has been one of the leaders of institutional and community education around the disease. He has been part of numerous University initiatives including outreach to the Asi...
Diagnostics have never been more important or visible on the world stage as they are today in the midst of the COVID-19 global pandemic. Mara will speak about how COVID diagnostics have been...
Neurological manifestations, including headache, altered mental status, and stroke, are a major complication of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and cor...
During the first year of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, international monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 genomic RNA revealed that the virus accumulated roughly 2 mutations per month. Nonetheless, one nonsy...
Cancer is a disease of the genome, and as such, tools that can analyze the genome are instrumental in understanding the mechanisms that lead to cancer, detecting cancerous cells, and providi...
According to published literature, up to 65% of errors occur in the preanalytical phase of laboratory testing, and coagulation assays are particularly sensitive to preanalytical issues......
