Efficient protein turnover is essential for cell homeostasis and organ function. Loss of proteostasis is a hallmark of aging, which culminates as a severe reduction in protein turnover rates...
The multiplexing capability of tandem mass tags (TMT) has driven quantitative proteomic experimental designs towards larger numbers of samples. In order to efficiently process hundreds to th...
SPRm (Surface Plasmon Resonance Microscopy) is a novel technology that enables label-free and real-time measurements of the binding affinity and kinetics of small molecules to G protein-coup...
Shifting from or supplementing traditional cultures by offering PCR infectious disease testing can be challenging for a laboratory. The addition of this testing is not just a change for the l...
RNA viruses use a variety of interactions with host proteins to gain entry, to evade immune responses, to promote viral replication, and to promote viral egress and spread. These interaction...
Advancements in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) are changing the genomics industry, favoring those with scale. Quest Diagnostics' clinical expertise, combined with our infrastructure, p...
Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, cycles between an Ixodes spp. vector and a vertebrate reservoir host, typically small rodents. Humans become infected when they int...
Prompt and early diagnosis of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is important to enable appropriate treatment and help prevent further transmission....
Antimicrobial resistance is an important and pressing challenge for global human health. Several obstacles in understanding, diagnosing, and treating antimicrobial resistance limit our abili...
Helicobacter pylori is the primary cause of 78% of gastric cancer cases, providing an opportunity to prevent cancer by controlling a single bacterial pathogen within the complex gastric micr...
Globally, women are disproportionately affected by sexually transmitted infections (STI) including HIV. The immune system of the female reproductive tract (FRT) balances the unique role of p...
