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.
Antibodies are extremely valuable and ubiquitous tools in life science research, but in spite of their widespread use in immunoassays over the past several decades, there is still a lack of u...
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...
The majority of patients with advanced NSCLC do not respond to monotherapy with PD-1 axis inhibition, and more robust predictive biomarkers are needed. In this study, we assessed tumor sampl...
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...
The continued rapid expansion of immunotherapies, including both in vivo and ex vivo therapeutics, has driven the development and adoption of novel tools to study, asses and understand these...
The introduction of robot-assisted surgical technology into urological practice, has introduced new horizons for reducing the morbidity and enhancing the efficacy of surgery. Open radical cys...
De novo gene synthesis and protein expression are established technologies that can give access to nearly any target DNA or protein sequence, allowing for engineering of biologics. In this p...
Immune therapy approaches are being used in many different solid cancers today including clear cell renal carcinoma (mccRCC) and metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma. Over the past few years i...
The 21st Century Cures Act, along with the FDA's Real-World Evidence (RWE) framework, has established a foundation for incorporating real-world data (RWD) into regulatory decision-making...
Variation in gene expression among cell types, tissues, and organisms is commonly examined by reverse transcription quantitative PCR, or RT-qPCR. In this process, RNA is isolated from sample...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a computer program designed to perform operations typical of human intelligence, such as self-learning. AI is taking over different fields in science; we alre...
The Keynote Address will highlight eight actions that individuals can take to reduce their cancer risk. These recommendations span lifestyle modifications, cancer screening and molecular prev...
Martin highlights various factors impacting molecular analysis from FFPE samples and key challenges and considerations while working with this precious yet challenging sample type. Learning...
Spatial proteomics represents a revolutionary frontier in molecular biology, enabling researchers to explore protein expression while preserving the critical spatial context of tissue archit...
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is an important technology that reveals gene expression differences between different cell types. Yet scRNA-seq data can be challenging to analyze and...
Human solid tumors, like breast cancers, represent a heterogeneous group of diseases that is best demonstrated through many differences in clinical outcomes within homogenously treated patie...
Engineered immune cell therapies offer the promise of more tailored interventions than traditional systemic checkpoint blockades, but so far remain ineffective across the majority of clinica...
Soluble cytokine biomarkers are the master regulators of cell-to-cell communication-- the means by which one cell tells another what to do or where to go. Determining the biomarker signature...
Tumors invade surrounding tissue as cancer progresses, but the heterogeneity of cell types at the tumor-stroma interface and the complexity of their interactions has hampered mechanistic ins...
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...
Cancer is a multifactorial disease, and its genesis and progression are extremely complex. The scope of precision oncology is rapidly expanding to address previously undruggable targets. The...
Copy-number alterations and chromosomal translocations are widespread in cancer and frequently causing oncogenic mutations that drive tumorigenesis and therapy resistance. Despite their preva...
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...
Tumor phenotypes are dictated not only by the neoplastic cell component, but also by the tumor microenvironment (TME), which is inherently immuno-suppressive, is equipped to hamper effector...
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...
Molecular diagnostic tests are currently used for infectious disease testing due to the superior sensitivity and specificity that can be obtained. Due to the success that has been obtained w...
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common cancer in children and adolescents. While current treatments have resulted in 85-90% cure, the remaining 10-15% cases represent the leading cau...
