Animals: are multicellular organisms that form the biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals consume organic material, breathe oxygen, are able to move, can reproduce sexually, and grow from a hollow sphere of cells, the blastula, during embryonic development.
T cells are the adaptive immune system’s first responders to any virus, circulating in the blood to detect and quickly multiply to attack the virus, and also support the development of...
Richard Hughes: New immunogenicity strategies to meet the needs of a developing pandemic Shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic began, the subject of serological testing for anti-viral antibodi...
There are an urgent need for antivirals to treat the newly emerged SARS-CoV-2. We set out to develop cell-based screens to repurpose existing drugs for use against SARS-CoV-2. Our goal was t...
COVID-19 has developed into a crisis of global proportions. COVID-19 is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Key to SARS-CoV-2 therapeutic development is u...
Learning Objectives: 1. Understanding the integral value of collaboration for advancement in scientific research; how to establish and grow academic, Pharma, and industry connections 2. Lear...
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the cause of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and responsible for the current pandemic. Here, we present an in-depth study...
Therapeutic antibody can provide key protection or lifesaving treatment for those who haven't been or can’t be vaccinated, or when vaccines don’t “take". We galvan...
Choosing the right solution for your laboratory’s SARS-CoV-2 testing needs can be a difficult decision. With the dynamic demand on labs, making the wrong choice could be catastrophic....
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is the primary technology used to identify genomic targets for vaccine development, detect emerging viral strains and monitor transmission patterns. Enhanced...
Viruses and virally transmitted diseases have been impacting human health and well-being for hundreds of years. Some of our greatest scientific challenges and medical triumphs have involved...
In less than nine months, the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has killed hundreds of thousands of people, including >23,000 in New York City (NYC) alone. The...
Infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, are challenging to study in animal models due to species differences, and conventional 2D cell-based systems lack the complexity to appropriately model...
Learning Objectives: 1. Drug Repurposing Strategies for SARS-CoV2 2. Validation pipeline for SARS-CoV-2 antiviral 3. Outlook for SARS-CoV-2 therapeutics...
PerkinElmer is a global leader in the development of instrumentation and probes for small animal non-invasive imaging, including optical and µCT imaging. Through optical imaging, we ha...
In recent months, we have seen a large part of the global scientific community shift to infectious disease research. In response, researchers are exploring safer and easier methods to handle...
The forecast IHME released on March 26, 2020, was geared to helping hospitals plan for a surge in demand for their resources (e.g., beds, ICUs, ventilators) to fight COVID-19. With many loca...
Learning Objectives: 1. To understand the role of the US federal government in testing and other disease containment strategies 2. To understand how US federalism led to a diversity of respo...
As the spread of infectious diseases, current pandemic, and growing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continues globally, next-generation sequencing (NGS) became a tool to diagnose infectious d...
As part of a large collaborative effort, we have used systems biology approaches to identify host factors that participate in SARS-CoV-2 replication. Protein-protein interactions maps betwee...
This presentation will discuss the use of the FDA EUA process to implement SARS-CoV-2 assays to address the COVID-19 pandemic. The use of a team-based approach, through an Incident Command s...
