Follow a curation of discoveries and updates in immunology focusing on immune responses to infectious disease, structure and function, and developments in the defense against infection by watching and engaging in these webinars.
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Date: October 13, 2021 Time: 7:00am (PDT), 10:00am (EDT) Western blot analysis is a method widely used in the lab today because of its versatility in detecting and measuring specific target...
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...
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...
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...

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...
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...
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...
Date: October 07, 2021 Time: 10:00am (PDT), 1:00pm (EDT) It's estimated than less than 10% of investigational anti-cancer drugs successfully achieve FDA approval for clinical use. This i...
Date: October 7, 2021 Time: 8:00am (PDT), 11:00am (EDT) To combat the COVID-19 pandemic, comprehensive characterization of humoral and cellular immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 is essential. A...
Advancements in immuno-oncology have been moving at an ever-quickening pace. From the development of new CAR-T therapies to a better understanding of the mechanism of action of monoclonal an...
Date: September 30, 2021 Time: 9:00am (PDT), 12:00pm (EDT) Centrifugation is an indispensable laboratory application for separating and purifying a range of biological materials. Although a...
The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the need for rapid, accurate diagnostic tests that could be developed and deployed quickly. Since the company’s founding in 2018, Mammoth has been ad...
