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.
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...
Primary resistance to CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CART19) occurs in 10% to 20% of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL); however, the mechanisms of thi...
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...
Infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 compromises the immune system and causes in about half of the affected individuals neurological and neurocognitive complication categorize...
Prostate cancers are considered immunologically ‘cold’ tumors given the very few patients who respond to checkpoint inhibitor therapy (CPI). Recently, enrichment of interferon st...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a computer program designed to perform operations typical of human intelligence, such as self-learning. AI is taking over different fields in science; we alre...
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is an important technology that reveals gene expression differences between different cell types. Yet scRNA-seq data can be challenging to analyze and...
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...
The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic poses an unprecedented challenge for public health, which is caused by infection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV...
Coronavirus Immunotherapeutic Consortium (CoVIC) is an international effort to conduct side-by-side, apples-to-apples comparisons of leading therapeutic antibody candidates against the SARS-...
Molecular diagnostic tests are currently used for infectious disease testing due to the superior sensitivity and specificity that can be obtained. Due to the success that has been obtained w...
Over years, HMGB1 has increasingly attracted the attention of all kinds of researchers. It is one of the most intriguing molecules within the complete arsenal of proteins of the innate immun...
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...
Plant-infecting viruses cause significant losses to agriculture, including to staple crops such as wheat, maize, and rice. Preventing and managing endemic and emerging plant diseases is an o...
The immune system evolved to protect us against pathogen invasion and to maintain tissue homeostasis. Fundamental for these functions are the interferons (IFNs), a group of cytokines that be...
Join this year's poster presenters in the Poster Hall during the Poster Networking Hour, Wednesday, September 20th, from 10:00 AM –11:00 AM PDT , to chat live about their posters a...
The future of cancer care is contingent on better understanding of molecular, clinical, and outcome data. This can be achieved by leveraging collaborative affiliations and networks locally a...
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...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is a novel virus that causes COVID-19 and has considerable variability in clinical outcomes among infected patients. The GENCOV stu...
We recently determined that concurrent inhibition of autophagy, using the lysosomal inhibitor chloroquine (CQ), and of ERK, using a small molecule ERK inhibitor (ERKi), synergistically suppr...
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...
In this webinar, Jessica DesLauriers will share how she transformed the Avera McKennan laboratory and health system's quality management system into a reliable, standardized system with...
Individuals with Lynch syndrome (LS) are prone to develop early-onset mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) colorectal- and endometrial cancers due to germline pathogenic variants (PVs) in one of...
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have demonstrated significant success in treating relapsed or treatment-refractory hematologic malignancies in the clinic, inducing remissions in 70-9...
Over the past 25 years, Luminex’s xMAP® Technology has emerged as the worldwide leader in bead-based multiplexing. The new xMAP® INTELLIFLEX platform combines the proven perfor...
Learning Objectives: 1. Define the impact of PD-L1 expressed on non-tumor, non-hematopoietic cells in T cell-mediated tumor control 2. Reveal the contribution of IFNg signaling in dermal lym...
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...
