The popularity reached by the genetic manipulation of laboratory animals to create new models for studying human diseases, produced in turn, that the techniques for assisted reproduction cons...
All forms of life require immune systems to stave off infection from viruses and other pathogens. In bacteria and archaea, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) a...
The 8th Edition of the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (Guide NRC, 2011) has been in use since 2011. What changes has it brought? What are the impacts of those changes? The g...
The presentation will provide a review of major emerging zoonotic virus outbreaks from Hendra virus in 1994 in Australia to SARS-CoV-2 in China 2019 and our latest findings on bat biology an...
In this three-part webinar series, we invite you to explore the benefits of a standardized workflow in leukemia and lymphoma analysis. Join this showcase of Beckman Coulter’s new DxFLE...
Technological advances allow for the large scale sequencing of the whole human genome. Most studies have generated population-based information on human diversity using low to intermediate co...
Cell culture continues to be a critical tool for most life science research and applications. From HeLa to iPSCs and 3D to organoids, culture methods have become more advanced and techniques...
Point-of-care testing (POCT) is diagnostic testing at the time and place of patient care in a physician’s office, an ambulance, a mobile clinic, at home or in hospital. Rapid POC testi...
Western blotting is a widely used and accepted technique to detect levels of protein expression in a cell or tissue extract. This webinar will cover the electrophoresis, transfer, and detecti...
The Infectious Diseases Pathology Branch of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) routinely receives autopsy and biopsy tissues for diagnostic evaluation. These tissues are typ...
Brain function is remarkably reliable despite the imprecise performance of neurons, and the continuous perturbations caused by aging, disease or injury. How does the brain succeed in produci...
It is commonly recognized that technicians are the backbone of a successful animal research program. Unfortunately, the invisible contributions that they make as well as the valuable high lev...
All personnel involved in an animal care and use program are expected to have an appropriate level of education, training and/or qualifications to perform their duties as defined through laws...
The biological state of the cell is characterized by a complex network of interacting genes, gene products, proteins, microRNAs, as well as other molecules. Microarrays and next generation se...
The design, make, test, and analyze cycle (DMTA), which drives early-stage drug discovery, requires workflows and automated methods for sample storage and tracking, low volume dispensing of...
COVID-19 has changed the way companies operate, the way employees perform their work and the way both are adapting to the environment. In this session, we'll cover both macro industry tr...
Traditional models of basal ganglia disorders are grounded in the assumption that network dysfunction is driven by alterations in intrinsic excitability of striatal neurons. Recent work has c...
Inefficient knock-in of transgene cargos limits the potential of cell-based medicines. In this study, we used a CRISPR nuclease that targets a site within an exon of an essential gene and de...
Analysis of antigen- and virus-specific T cells is essential to the understanding of fundamental immunological processes in the contexts of e.g. infectious diseases, immuno-oncology, as well...
Learning Objectives: 1. Explain what is gene therapy is. 2. Explain what steps are involved for getting a gene therapy product to the clinic. 3. Discuss development and manufacturing process...
Liquid chromatography high resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-TOF-MS) is becoming increasingly popular in the clinical research laboratory. It can offer higher throughput and sup...
In the past several years, there has been an increase in drug testing associated with chronic pain. Immunoassays are the most common method for initial screening which can test for a specific...
CRISPR ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) can generate programmable gene edits, however imprecise editing and efficient delivery to human stem cells are key challenges. Here we describe novel biochemi...
Cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries including the United States. Early detection of various cancers, before they spread and become incurable, has been...
Learning Objectives: 1. Discuss the potential for newborn screening by whole genome sequencing. 2. Review the current evidence for the sensitivity and specificity of newborn screening by who...
Interference in laboratory assays is a concern since it can positively or negatively influence test results, which can affect patient care. Interferents could be endogenous or exogenous comp...
