This compilation of webinars touch on the various human diseases are most commonly attributed to the subject matter of microbiology, as well as the many microbes that are also responsible for numerous beneficial processes.
Personalized health profiling using multi-omics data has the potential to reveal immunometabolic disruptions among individuals living with HIV (PWH) who are effectively undergoing antiretrov...
The evolution of the planetary situation is presently knowing multiple rapid and severe complications impacting both geophysical as well as all the life aspects. Multiple parameters undergo...
The COVID-19 pandemic has underlined the need for an efficient collaboration between scientists, policy makers and the general public to tackle the crisis. Infectious disease experts play a...
Shifting from or supplementing traditional cultures by offering PCR infectious disease testing can be challenging for a laboratory. The addition of this testing is not just a change for the l...
In the last decade or so, R&D into the human microbiome-based therapeutics and diagnostics has accelerated the widespread availability of next-generation DNA sequencing technologies that...
Researchers are increasingly turning to RNA sequencing for gene expression analysis from challenging samples. These samples often include fine needle biopsies, micro-dissected tumors or high...
Critical in control of this pandemic is the ability to rapidly identify infectious individuals prior to their ability to infect others. With the introduction of better testing capacity and a...
Given its ability to isolate pathogens, nuclei, and immune cells for downstream applications, cell sorting is an essential tool for immunological studies. Yet, the potential for aerosol form...
Human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) is a significant cause of lower respiratory tract infections in children under the age of 5, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals, leading...
Wastewater samples are challenging substrates for nucleic acid extraction and the choice of extraction method determines the success of the downstream analysis. Extraction methods must be ab...
Recent outbreaks of Ebola virus (EBOV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have exposed our limited therapeutic options for such diseases and our poor understand...
As obligate intracellular pathogens, viruses require host-derived nucleotides, amino acids, and lipids, among others, and the bioavailability of these metabolites can restrict or promote vir...
Alphaviruses are enveloped RNA viruses that cause disease in humans ranging from acute febrile illness with rash and arthritis to lethal encephalitis. Like many other mosquito-borne viruses,...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) detection and surveillance is a high priority in healthcare and environmental settings for the safety of both patients and the general public. However, working...
The global effort to sequence millions of SARS-CoV-2 genomes has provided an unprecedented view of viral evolution. Characterizing how selection acts on SARS-CoV-2 is critical to developing...
NGS library preparation can be a long, multi-step process, but it is essential for proper sample management and reproducible results. Automating this process reduces costs, frees up research...
