Eleven years ago LabRoots launched a new system of learning for a global scientific audience. Now, the 2020 Clinical Diagnostics and Research Virtual Event will again bring together clinicians, researchers, medical experts and professionals for the 11th time. LabRoots aims to elevate the level of collaboration and in turn, advance clinical diagnostics, research and medicine.
On November 12, 2020 thousands will join in a discussion of the continuous progress made with advances in laboratory testing and patient care and treatment. With new technologies and treatments available, updates in regulatory processes are also necessary to ensure patient safety and proper practices.
Our virtual conference allows you to participate in a global setting with no travel or cost to you. The event will remain open 6 months from the date of the live event. The webinars will be available for unlimited on-demand viewing. This virtual conference also offers increased reach for the global microbiology community with a high degree of interaction through live-streaming video and chat sessions.
Like the 2019 conference, this event will be produced on our robust platform, allowing you to watch, learn and connect seamlessly across all desktop or mobile devices. Equipped with gamification and point system, you can now move around the entire event, earning points for a chance to win one of LabRoots' most popular T-shirts.

I have the expertise, leadership, training, and motivation necessary to successfully carry out the proposed research project. I have a broad background in biology, with specific training and expertise in public health microbiology, particularly pertaining to serological responses to infectious diseases, including emerging infectious diseases. My work includes clinical laboratory diagnostics research across a broad range of disciplines. My particular focus currently is development and evaluation of high-quality clinical laboratory diagnostic tests, particularly for emerging or under-studied pathogens. Presently, work in our laboratory is focused on evaluation and development of serological assays for detection of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2.
My early publications addressed the role of mobile genetic elements in human cancers. My work has led to several novel findings in the field, including the clonal variation of human mobile elements in different cancers, the contribution of mobile elements to DNA double strand break repair, description of the extensive variation in full-length/active mobile elements between individuals, and the role of several DNA repair pathways, including nucleotide excision repair and transcription-coupled repair, in limiting damage from mobile elements in vivo. Additionally, my work developed several novel tools that are now widely used in the field of mobile elements including a high-throughput sequencing approach for mobile element identification, and a droplet digital PCR approach for detection of rare mobile element insertions in tumors.
Additionally, I have made substantial contributions to the field of infectious diseases through work on the human parasite Plasmodium falciparum where my work focused on identifying potential druggable targets in the malaria parasite. Together with collaborators, I have described a receptor activated kinase required for intraerythrocytic proliferation, identified a novel parasite cyclin H homolog required for cytokinesis of blood-stage parasites, identified a essential contractile ring protein that controls cell division in P. falciparum, and developed a novel anti-parasitic compound that retains activity against artemisinin-resistant parasite strains.
My recent clinical laboratory work includes evaluation of molecular and serological assays for the detection of Zika virus and Zika virus antibodies, and more recently evaluation and development of molecular and serological assays for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. Our early work has shown a significant link between the severity of patient symptoms and the subsequent immune response.

Professor Xiaowu (Shirley) Tang joined the Department of Chemistry & Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) at the University of Waterloo (UW) in 2006. Currently, she is the Associate Dean of Science, Research, and a member of the Board of Directors for WIN. During 2014-2017, she served as the Director of Nanotechnology Engineering (NE) program, Canada’s only undergraduate NE program. Prior to joining UW, she received her Ph.D. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and pursued postdoctoral work at Stanford University. She also had 3 years of industrial experience in Silicon Valley, California, and is a co-founder of LeNano Diagnostics, Inc, a company incorporated in 2016. The Tang group is internationally recognized for its pioneer work on hybrid nanobio- materials and devices, with contributions particularly to the material, surface, and physical chemistries dealing with carbon nanostructures. Of significance is the development of biomarker sensing platforms for early diagnosis and management of chronic diseases. A low-cost point-of-care testing platform based on carbon nanotube biosensors is currently under transition to commercialization. Another noteworthy aspect of Tang’s research is the creation of a class of hybrid scaffold materials for tissue engineering, which integrates functional nanostructures and biopolymers to offer extraordinary mechanical, electrical, and rheological properties. The new materials, combined with 3D-printing and microfabrication, could provide disruptive technologies for the fabrication of tissues/organs, which can find important applications in drug screening and regenerative medicine. Her work has led to publications on prestigious journals, such as Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Biotechnology, Journal of American Chemical Society, Advanced Materials, and Nano Letters, as well as patent applications, multiple industrial partnerships, media reports, and invited lectures. Prof. Tang received the Leader’s Opportunity Award from Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) in 2008 and the Stars in Global Health Award from Grand Challenges Canada in 2012, Award for Outstanding Mid-Career Achievements in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, NanoOntario, in 2018.
