Image-based screens require the use of automated microscopes which generates hundreds, if not thousands of images at a time. With such large image sets, automatic image analysis is more obje...
Severe COVID-19 is characterized by dramatic immune system activation and inflammation. Several studies to modulate the immune response and limit immunopathology are ongoing. To better under...
In this presentation, we will present a novel way of concentrating samples and performing buffer exchange using the µPULSE —TFF System. The instrument is a fully automated walk-a...
FDA has generally not enforced applicable regulatory requirements on a group of IVD tests called Laboratory Developed Tests. This use of “enforcement discretion” has been un...
In this webinar the speaker discusses the approach taken by the Food and Drug administration in their pre-market review of in vitro diagnostic tests. The legal bar passed by congress in...
Most people are familiar with the main bioactive metabolites in Cannabis – cannabinoids and terpenes. The profile of each can be quite complex both in terms of numbers of different spe...
Primates have been essential in unlocking novel immune mechanisms that have driven development of groundbreaking new drugs in infectious disease and transplantation, amongst others related t...
The adolescent brain has been forged by evolution to have different features than those of a child or an adult, but it is not broken or defective. Phenomenal ability to adapt to environ...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a significant contributor to cancer-related mortality in the United States and worldwide. Current treatments are largely ineffective: single agent and combin...
Cannabis testing laboratories play a pivotal role in today’s cannabis industry. These laboratories test a wide-ranging list of compounds, including cannabinoids, terpenes, and a multit...
Pain management includes the choice of analgesia agents, their dose, administration method, duration and frequency of treatment, and a pain-monitoring scheme for each individual animal. Insu...
When SARS-CoV-2 reached the United States in late January 2020, Labcorp immediately began development of an RT-PCR test to aid in detection and diagnosis of COVID-19 in infected patients. As...
The utility of dried blood spot (DBS) sampling technology for rodent colony health monitoring was investigated using a two-tiered approach. In the first approach, groups of mice and rats were...
The NCI's Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments (TARGET) is a comprehensive genomic characterization initiative to determine the molecular changes that drive th...
Genetic biomarkers have become increasingly important for disease prediction, early disease detection and progression, and options for intervention. Tumor biopsies are commonly used as sourc...
This presentation discusses the advantages and disadvantages of robotic surgery. The initial goals for a robotic prostatectomy will be discussed as well as patient expectations and outcomes.&...
This is an exciting time for melanoma treatment, with a half-dozen new drugs approved in just over four years. This influx has brought a new complexity to the field, however, including questi...
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’...
We have been developing methods to target drugs specifically to pathologic cells, thereby avoiding collateral toxicity to healthy cells. In the case of cancer, we have exploited up-regulation...
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...
Richard Hughes: New immunogenicity strategies to meet the needs of a developing pandemic Shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic began, the subject of serological testing for anti-viral antibodi...
