Immunogens with native conformation and a high-throughput IgG cloning platform are two of the most important key components for high quality lead antibody molecules discovery. DIMABIO’...
Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a life-threatening complication following heparin exposure. This webinar presentation will discuss the pathogenesis, incidence, clinical...
Date: February 22, 2023 Time: 9:00am (PST), 12:00pm (EST), 6:00pm (CET) Circular plasmid DNA has traditionally been used as a stable and efficient vector for gene expression and HDR-mediated...
If you use a pipette on a daily basis, then this webinar is for you. Pipettes are used to prepare samples, blanks, and standards for a range of analytical experiments. This is why the wrong...
In general, once a receptor drug target has been validated for the treatment of a particular condition, either a high throughput screen is carried out to identify potential hits, or existing...
Antibody-based therapeutics are helping patients across a wide range of disease areas, from cancer, such as Rituximab treatment of CD20-positive non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, to infectious di...
Novel immunotherapy has revolutionized the landscape of cancer therapy in multiple tumor types since Ipilimumab, the first ICB agent, was approved for the treatment of metastatic melanoma is...
Novel annotated Patient-Derived tumor Xenografts (PDX) propagated in immunodeficient mice and Organoids (PDO) in Matrigel have become essential models to study inter- and intra-tumor heterog...
Advances in tissue-based technologies over the past few years have created opportunities to identify patterns that can be used as biomarkers and prognostic indicators for different disease s...
Marine organisms produce a wide variety of primary and secondary metabolites with unique scaffolds that are biologically active. Manzamines are marine-derived polycyclic alkaloids. Approxima...
In this project, we optimized a high-throughput fluorescent-based assay to assess transporter activity by measuring uptake of the substrate, ASP+ 4-(4-(dimethylamino)styryl)-N-methylpyridi...
Many current technologies used in drug discovery and preclinical development programmes typically involve multi-step operations, extensive hands-on time, and lengthy liquid handling processe...
Learning Objectives: 1. Describe and discuss some of the unique aspect of in vivo studies. 2. Identify specific study practices to ensure high quality study data and animal welfare. 3. Discu...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a spectrum of metabolic disorders affecting 25% of our global population. 20% of NAFLD patients go on to develop Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (N...
