Emerging infectious diseases” are those that are rapidly increasing in incidence or geographic range. Most are zoonotic, entering the human population from other animal species. None e...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) is a global pandemic that has impacted the lives of the entire world’s population. Accurate and effective testing mechanisms to identify those with...
The spread of the SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic is driving an urgent need for extensive testing, including patients and health workers as a priority. The most sensitive and reliable method...
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...
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is the primary technology used to identify genomic targets for vaccine development, detect emerging viral strains and monitor transmission patterns. Enhanced...
With more than 6 million infections and more than 300,000 deaths (as of end of May 2020), the current COVID-19 pandemic has led to large scale lockdown around the world to prevent further sp...
Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the development of diagnostics for both the virus (molecular) and the host immune response (serological) has become essential for monitoring the...
Staying informed on diagnostic tools for SARS-CoV-2 can be challenging. Because the results of the various test have different clinical implications it is important to understand the design...
With over 6.7 million cases and over 213 countries and territories affected worldwide, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has challenged the world in several ways. As the global pandemic sprea...
DATE: June 9, 2020 TIME: 10:00am PT, 1:00pm ET The presentation will first discuss sepsis as a disease and then explain the importance of performing diagnostic tests in the clinical labora...
DATE: June 9, 2020 TIME: 6am PT, 9am ET, 3pm CEST The importance of disposable plastic consumables and their overall impact on the experimental workflow of qPCR has been taken into considera...
Multiplex immunofluorescence IHC is a powerful technique to address the increasing research needs in immuno-oncology to better understand the tumor microenvironment. In this webinar, we will...
The RNAscope in situ hybridization technology allows high sensitivity, specificity and spatial resolution providing pivotal single-cell gene expression information to gain better insights in...
Neoantigen based personalized immuno-oncology drugs are a relatively new therapeutic avenue that have shown strong anti-tumor efficacy in the clinic. Neoantigen peptides have been widely rep...
While providing indispensable insight into immune processes, the live cell imaging of immune cells poses unique challenges due to their non-adherent nature. Suspension cells such as immune c...
Gene manipulation studies in primary human immune cells can answer important biological questions within a clinically relevant cellular context. In this webinar we explore the use of several...
Multiplexed immunofluorescent imaging sheds new light on cancer and other complex conditions. This imaging technique offers a deeper understanding of cells and their surroundings by providin...
A key step in the clinical production of CAR T cells is the expansion of engineered T cells. To generate enough cells for viable adoptive cell therapy, cells must be robustly stimulated, whi...
Immune checkpoint blockade has revolutionized the treatment for patients with cancer. Great efforts remain to better understand resistant mechanisms to treatment as well as means to improve...
Cancer cells can acquire immune resistance resulting in a loss of immunosurveillance. Tumor cells can upregulate PDL-1 which binds to PD-1. This complex inhibits CD8 Tumor Infiltrating cells...
Cancer initiation and virulence depends on mechanisms to evade host immunosurveillance and suppression of early invasion and growth. Distinct phenotypes of the immune infiltrates in and arou...
Dr. Koenitzer will present an overview of her current research in immune suppression. After a brief introduction to the MILLIPLEX® multiplex immunoassay portfolio, Dr. Koenitzer will dis...
Immune checkpoint therapies targeting the CTLA-4 and PD-(L)1 pathways have been largely clinically disappointing for patients with prostate cancer. This can be attributed to the highly immun...
Platinum-based chemotherapy has been the cornerstone for treating metastatic urothelial cancer, which compromises the majority of bladder cancer. While urothelial cancer is chemosensitive, p...
Learning Objectives: 1. Define applications of approved and experimental (multiplexing IF) biomarker assessment in Immuno-Oncology 2. Define bottlenecks and areas of improvement to current t...
