Stay informed on developments in cancer and oncology diagnosis, prevention and treatment through these curated webinars. As the race toward a cure for cancer continues, advances in cancer research are constantly revealed as innovation in the field of oncology progresses.
Nanovials are emerging as an accessible platform for performing single-cell functional screening leveraging standard instrumentation, such as flow cytometers and microfluidic single-cell seq...
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has been extremely successful in treating relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies, with six CAR T-cell products now FDA approved. Unfortunately...
Throughout history, various approaches including surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy have been employed in the fight against cancer. In the 2010s, the emergence of...
Brain cancer research stands to benefit from the perspectives, tools, and methodologies of non-traditional fields, such as mechanical engineering. Here, I will discuss our engineering-based...
Understanding the spatial organization of the immune response within tumors is crucial for developing effective cancer immunotherapies. In this seminar, we delve into the interactions betwee...
Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) is an immunotherapy that employs living immune cells to target and destroy cancer cells. However, the inhibitory tumor microenvironment features several obstacles...
The implementation of a preemptive pharmacogenomics (PGx) program in a hospital setting requires a multidisciplinary approach to ensure seamless integration of each stage of the process for...

Join us in this enlightening session to deepen your understanding of qualifications and their transformative impact on risk management and regulatory adherence. Gain actionable insights that...
Lateral flow assay applications have become increasingly diverse in a post-pandemic world, and the areas of infectious disease and oncology continue to be at the forefront. In both areas, th...
It is over half a century since haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was recognised by medical professionals; the importance of HbA1c to the long term health of people with diabetes was clearly demonstra...
Tissue microarray combines tens to hundreds paraffin-embedded specimens into a single paraffin block. It is a practical and highly effective tool for high-throughput analyses including valid...
Learning Objectives: 1. Explain how obesity impacts the survival of pediatric patients with specific subtypes of leukemia. 2. Describe how obesity impacts T-cell function in pediatric popula...
One of the central tenets of biology is that our genetics—our genotype—influences the physical characteristics we manifest—our phenotype. But with more than 25,000 human ge...
In the United States, cancer disproportionately impacts Black and African American individuals. Identifying genetic factors underlying cancer disparities has been an important research focus...
Current clinical methods used to identify epithelial ovarian cancer are often too late – when the cancer is at an advanced stage, leaving the patient with limited therapeutic options....
We started our experience with prostate cancer in 2002 with primitive robotic platforms. Our main goal was to provide an alternative to open and laparoscopic surgery....
The elegant and well-orchestrated molecular players responsible for normal neurodevelopment harbor the capacity for detrimental repercussions if mis-expressed at the wrong time, or in the wr...
The tumor-associated microbiota is an inherent component of the tumor microenvironment across various human cancer types1. Although members of tumor-associated microbiomes can be identified...
Neoantigens are peptides derived from patient-specific and tumor-specific mutations, which can be recognized by the immune system and mediate tumor recognition that leads to immune destructi...
Over the past 10 years, we have come to a greater understanding of the pathogenesis of men who succumb to prostate cancer. One critical aspect is the role of molecular drivers in patients wi...
Conventional imaging studies such as ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are increasingly detecting small renal masses, which are interpreted by radiologists as h...
Immuno-oncology (IO) is a type of cancer treatment that uses the body's immune system to fight cancer. It works by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells, while le...
Radiation therapy is an important cornerstone of oncologic therapy but is feared to the point of intimidation by too many patients. Yet by the end of treatment, most patients find the experi...
Informed consent (IC) is a fundamental aspect of ethical clinical research, safeguarding the rights and well-being of participants. It empowers participants with comprehensive information ab...
Natural killer (NK) cells, immune cells with an innate ability to recognize and eliminate cancer cells, have emerged as attractive effectors in immunotherapy, owing in large part to their ab...
Effective cellular therapies for solid tumors remain elusive. Advances in gene editing and synthetic biology offer great potential for improving the safety and functionality of engineered ce...
