Clinical Research: Patient - oriented research. Clinical research is a branch of healthcare science that determines the safety and effectiveness (efficacy) of medications, devices, diagnostic products and treatment regimens intended for human use. These may be used for prevention, treatment, diagnosis or for relieving symptoms of a disease.
To interpret genome sequence from telomere to telomere, it is helpful end-to-end haplotypes with single-molecule epigenetics overlays, via in situ omics at sub-cellular (20 nm) resolution an...
Genetic drivers of cancer can be dysregulated through epigenetic modifications of DNA. Although the critical role of DNA 5-methylcytosine (5mC) in the regulation of transcription is recognize...
In this webinar, we will discuss our most recent additions to our CRISPR protein portfolio, the GFP-SpCas9 and GFP-eCas9 fusion proteins. The two GFP-Cas9 fusion proteins offer great visualiz...

D-dimer is used in the clinical evaluation of suspected venous thromboembolism (VTE). Newer measurement methods show high sensitivity for this test, and in combination with pretest probabilit...
Over the past 25 years many advances in techniques have been incorporated into infectious disease research. From genetically modified animals to advances in basic techniques that improve res...
Tuberculosis has killed more than one billion people in the last 200 years. It is the oldest and the deadliest human pathogen, recently surpassing HIV. Its adaptation to host and drug pressur...
Recent evidence indicates that the immunoglobulin (IG) gene loci reside within the most complex and variable regions of the human genome, characterized by elevated levels of single nucleotide...
Point-of-care testing (POCT) is diagnostic testing at the time and place of patient care in a physician’s office, an ambulance, a mobile clinic, at home or in hospital. Rapid POC testi...
“Emerging infections” are those that appear suddenly or are rapidly increasing in incidence or geographic range (e.g., HIV/AIDS, Ebola, SARS, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome [MER...
The Ebola virus disease outbreak in West Africa in 2014-2016 was the largest of its kind in history. This was the first outbreak that involved a randomized clinical trial for therapeutics, a...
To reduce the global burden diseases causes by infectious disease, including parasites and bacteria, scientists need better information about mechanisms of virulence, immune evasion, and drug...
Despite over 60+ years of research, the etiology of bacterial vaginosis (BV), the most common vaginal infection, remains controversial. Epidemiological data strongly suggest that BV is acquir...

Myeloid leukemias encompass a group of different diseases that include myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML). These diseases are d...
The exponential advents of advances in techniques and types of molecular diagnostic testing, and modifying strategies for these tests, are encouraging; but these evolutions simultaneously con...
Determining which patients would derive clinical benefit from immunotherapy is a compelling clinical question. Biomarkers have been shown to predict therapy outcome in various types of cancer...
Personalized medicine driven by genomic-based treatments continues to increase in importance. Representatives from two distinct healthcare entities – a regional reference lab and commun...
The prevailing philosophy in biological testing has been to focus on simple tests with easy to interpret information such as ELISA or lateral flow assays. At the same time, there has been a d...
