The risk of mortality from COVID-19 follows a sharp age gradient, with older populations facing a thousand fold higher risk of death upon infection than children. At the same time, the COVID...
Vaccination and infection are two different paths to immunity. Understanding human immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 RNA vaccines is of interest for a panoply of reasons. mRNA vaccines have dem...
Learning Objectives: 1. Discuss the value of infectious disease diagnostics. 2. Recognize the importance of home diagnostics. 3. Identify how better diagnostics leads to more resiliency to p...
As the pandemic continues to evolve, new tools are needed to fight it. The greatest needs revolve around the ability to screen asymptomatic individuals for COVID-19 and to simultaneously tes...
In this session we will use a set of reads enriched for viral sequences and sequences from wastewater treatment plants. Specifically the aim is to assemble whole SARS-CoV-2 genomes from such...
Since late 2020, several prominent SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern have emerged, harboring specific mutations which increase viral transmissibility Delta variant) and which appear to reduce t...
SARS-CoV-2 testing is now facing increasing challenges in the face of an ongoing pandemic with the emergence of new variants and waning vaccine immunity. Increasing evidence supports the cor...
One significant challenge with SARS-CoV-2 wastewater monitoring is the lack of optimized and standardized sample processing steps, from sample collection to RNA detection. Viral concentratio...
This presentation “SARS-CoV-2 Related Workflow and Solutions: Detection and Genotyping” will focus on strategies for the testing and detection of SARS-CoV-2, including multiplexe...
Dr. John Moore, Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at Weill Cornell Medicine, a Vaccine and Virology researcher, will talk about SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and variants and other topical issu...
Severe SARS-CoV-2 infection often leads to development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), with profound pulmonary patho-histological changes post-mortem. In this study, we utiliz...
By examining the host response to SARS-CoV-2 infection we gain valuable insights into viral pathogenesis and COVID-19 progression. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of small (18-22nt), non-coding...
Date: October 13, 2021 Time: 10:00am (PDT), 01:00pm (EDT) Clinically-relevant applications, such as somatic variant detection, continue to push the bounds...
Join me, an applied epidemiologist with boots on the ground, as we review key discoveries learned from the reopening of sports, entertainment and the arts. The four pillars of reopening incl...
We use COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and mortality data and a deterministic SEIR (susceptible, exposed, infectious and recovered) compartmental framework to model possible trajectories o...
We’ll discuss the rapid discovery efforts to identify human monoclonal antibody drugs that protect against COVID-19. We will review the technologies used to find antibodies, the optima...
I will discuss the development of the “Midnight” panel for faster, simpler, and less expensive SARS-CoV-2 genome sequencing. We show that using a multiplexed set of primers in co...
SARS-CoV-2 is an emergent virus. Specifically how it will adapt to human hosts and populations with growing immunity is unknown. Coronaviruses acquire substitutions more slowly than other RN...
Date: October 12, 2021 Time: 9:00am (PDT), 12:00pm (EDT) SCIEX’s next-generation Biologics Explorer software is an innovative platform for the comprehensive and deep characterization o...

Date: October 12, 2021 Time: 6:00am (PDT), 9:00am (EDT), 3:00pm (CEST) Dr. Diana Kalinina shall introduce the MALDI Biotyper ® sirius platform and elaborate the already available as well...
Summary: Cancer neoantigens are highly specific to the tumor, potently immunogenic and can be targeted by both vaccines and engineered cellular therapies. This talk will introduce the defini...
Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive form of breast cancer, characterized by the characteristic lack of receptors such as human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2), t...
Competing to offer a comprehensive genomic profiling service for solid or hematology oncology tumor samples is challenging, especially as panels increase in size and complexity. QIAGEN Clini...
Across oncology applications, from research to molecular testing and pharmaceutical development, the ability to identify potentially actionable genetic alterations and exploit the molecular...
Cells in their natural environment are surrounded by a complex extracellular matrix that provides structure and functional cues to the surrounding cells. Hydrogels can be used to approximate...
