Learn about the latest medical breakthroughs by participating in webinars on topics surrounding disease, prevention and treatment in accordance with the latest research in health and medicine. Updates encompass a biological, psychological and sociological understanding of health.
The success in the solving cases is based upon a system that emphasizes teamwork, from scene; recognition, collection, preservation, to laboratory; examination, identification , individualiz...
It is well known that laboratories often handle sensitive information. The negative consequences can be severe when there is a breach of data and confidentiality. Therefore, when choosing a...
Lab Automation can be a double edge sword. Increased throughput and improved reliability is the goal. We work with labs to better get the most out of......
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...
Princess Margaret Living Biobank (PMLB) is a repository for patient-derived organoid models. PMLB has generated over200 organoid models from lung, pancreas, colon, ovary, esophageal and brea...
Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) is predicted to reduce environmental impacts and build resilient, local agricultural systems. In addition to high-value food crops, CEA is used to cu...
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...
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has elevated the need for reliable, cost-effective means for widespread virus detection. This webinar will explore two distinct approaches for isolating viral R...
Background and aim: Multiplexing of biomarker panels by microsphere-based technologies are robust and cost-effective methods. The QuantiGene™ Plex Assay (ThermoFisher Scientific) platf...
The development of many different chromogens for light microscopy gives us the opportunity to explore different usage of multiplex immunohistochemistry (IHC) for clinical diagnostic purposes...
As pharmaceutical companies have reduced or eliminated neuroscience drug development due to high costs and low approval rates, the economic and healthcare burden of CNS disorders in the Unit...
Patient laboratory test results are significantly over-represented in electronic medical records, but significantly under-utilized in research. An important application of laboratory data is...
Targeted therapies for cancer are increasingly being developed as an alternative for, and in addition to, immunotherapy. Altered tumor signaling can be exploited to single-out cancer cells f...
It has been estimated that every human being carries ~20 rare “natural human gene knockouts”-DNA variants in protein-coding regions of the genome that partially or completely inac...
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...
We applied CITE-Seq to measure >150 cell surface immune markers and checkpoint proteins simultaneous to RNA-Sequencing. We resolve the tumour-immune milieu with high precision and reveal...
In the event of a radiological or nuclear disaster, there will be a need for therapies that can mitigate the acute hematopoietic and gastrointestinal (GI) radiation syndromes expected to dev...
Many of the most debilitating and life-threatening diseases are associated with the central nervous system. Some, such as neurodegenerative diseases, predominately afflict our aging populati...
GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiling Technology! The GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler (DSP) is a novel platform developed by NanoString. This leading digital technology offers multiplexed measureme...
The adenosine analogue remdesivir has emerged as a front-line antiviral treatment for SARS-CoV-2, with preliminary evidence that it reduces the duration and severity of illness. Prior clinic...
Liquid biopsy tests are an integral part of the molecular diagnostic workup of cancer specimens. We have performed extensive validation studies of the GeneStrat NGS test (GSNGS), that uses a...
Cellular and gene-based therapeutic approaches are the future of medicine for many conditions. As the CGT field expands and deepens, the need for consistent and reliable partners becomes cri...
The long term goal of our collaborative effort is to bring precision medicine to the practice of veterinary oncology, using the wealth of genomic data gathered in human cancers as a roadmap....
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...
Viruses and virally transmitted diseases have been impacting human health and well-being for hundreds of years. Some of our greatest scientific challenges and medical triumphs have involved...
The opioid crisis has put significant strain on the healthcare system and resources, including the clinical laboratory which has seen significant increases in requests for urine drug screeni...
