We use COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and mortality data and a deterministic SEIR (susceptible, exposed, infectious and recovered) compartmental framework to model possible trajectories o...
We’ll discuss the rapid discovery efforts to identify human monoclonal antibody drugs that protect against COVID-19. We will review the technologies used to find antibodies, the optima...
I will discuss the development of the “Midnight” panel for faster, simpler, and less expensive SARS-CoV-2 genome sequencing. We show that using a multiplexed set of primers in co...
SARS-CoV-2 is an emergent virus. Specifically how it will adapt to human hosts and populations with growing immunity is unknown. Coronaviruses acquire substitutions more slowly than other RN...

Date: October 12, 2021 Time: 8:00am (PDT), 11:00am (EDT) CRISPR-Cas9 is a nuclease-based genome editing system which has seen exponential growth in adoption with broad applications from basi...
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...
Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive form of breast cancer, characterized by the characteristic lack of receptors such as human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2), t...
Across oncology applications, from research to molecular testing and pharmaceutical development, the ability to identify potentially actionable genetic alterations and exploit the molecular...
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...
The lack of diverse participation in clinical research and trials has been a long-standing national problem that has been brought to the forefront due to COVID 19. In cancer research less th...
Date: October 7, 2021 Time: 8:00am (PDT), 11:00am (EDT) To combat the COVID-19 pandemic, comprehensive characterization of humoral and cellular immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 is essential. A...
Advances in cancer research have improved our understanding of the complex interactions between tumors, their microenvironment and the host immune response. The evolving research field of im...
Date: October 07, 2021 Time: 6:00am (PDT), 9:00am (EDT) Join us for a comprehensive review and discussion of the basic fundamentals of weighing and moisture determination, including the infl...
Data suggests that genetics comprises 42-58% of the prostate cancer risk. GWAS has found about 43% of the risk SNPs in Blacks and European Americans. Most of the SNPs that have been discover...
One of the central tenants of biology is that our genetics—our genotype—influences the physical characteristics we manifest—our phenotype. But with more than 25,000 human g...
In this webinar, we present a case study on Lynch syndrome (LS), a hereditary condition characterized by a high risk of colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, and other neoplasia that typica...
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...
Effective immunotherapy of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is hampered by the lack of suitable tumor-specific antigens. To address this challenge, we have combined high-throughput fl...
Date: October 6, 2021 Time: 9:00am (PDT), 12:00pm (EDT) ANTIBODY TITRATION is critical to the success of any flow cytometry experiment. This is even more so in microflow cytometric analysis...
Background: Localized prostate cancer is notable for tumor heterogeneity, and immune heterogeneity within tumor versus benign areas. B7-H3, a member of the B7 superfamily, is highly expresse...
There is considerable research being conducting on the topic of health disparities. It is important to understand why these health disparities exist as well as what is contributing to so man...
African American women face a lower risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer as compared to Caucasian-American women, yet they paradoxically face an increased breast cancer mortality hazar...
Date: October 05, 2021 Time: 7:00am (PDT), 10:00am (EDT) After new users become familiar with flow cytometry instrumentation and learn how to set up the instrument and acquire data, the next...
The recent outbreak of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread all over the world and raised global concerns. Rapid and early detection of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, the ca...
Cas9 based therapeutics have the potential to revolutionize the treatment of genetic diseases. However, safe and effective methods for delivering Cas9 protein, gRNA and donor DNA need to be...
The advent of CRISPR-Cas (Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats-CRISPR associated) makes it feasible to target/edit the genome with precision. Most of the CRSIPR-Cas syst...
We use COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and mortality data and a deterministic SEIR (susceptible, exposed, infectious and recovered) compartmental framework to model possible trajectories o...
