Clinical Trials are medical research involving human subjects. Clinical Trials evaluate medical, surgical, or behavioral interventions to determine if a novel treatment is safe and effective. There are four phases of Clinical Trial testing used to test the new treatment, determine the most effective dosage, and ensure the adverse effects do not outweigh the medical benefits.
This presentation will review the scope and history of the chronic pain and opioid epidemic in the US. It will then discuss how chronic pain and opioid use is being dealt with in commun...
In contrast to autologous cell therapies, allogeneic therapies do not require collection of starting material from patients and could; be manufactured in larger batches, be made available &ld...
Second and third generations of PTH immunoassays currently available on the market demonstrate significant variability with up to 4.2 fold difference in measurements depending on the method u...
As the compendium of putatively disease causing variants expands, gathering the most current and accurate information is critical to computing variant classifications. The QIAGEN knowledgebas...
Decades of innovation have brought us into a new era of mass spectrometry with the design of Agilent’s revolutionary Triple Quadrupole LC/MS. Ultivo is packed full of the same power and...
With significant decrease in the cost of sequencing in numerous commercial as well as cancer center–driven initiatives, genomic profiling is increasingly becoming routine across multipl...
As the diagnostic test menu has increased in size and complexity, healthcare providers are in great need of advice on appropriate test selection and result interpretation. To address this nee...
Sepsis is the Achilles’ heel of health care. Despite being relatively unknown to the public, it is a top killer in hospitals and the cost burden is crushing to our healthcare system. Mo...
The D-dimer can be a useful tool in the management of patients with suspected or established venous thromboembolism (VTE). One use is in the assessment of a patient who presents with symptoms...
As the most common female malignancy, breast cancer is the most likely reason that a woman will die of cancer around the world. Breast cancer mortality has dropped in the U.S. by 35% since 19...
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Large-scale sequencing studies have revealed the complex genomic landscape of NSCLC and genomic differences between lun...
Two projects looking at novel approaches to targeting inflammatory breast cancer will be presented. Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a unique, understudied, and most lethal subtype account...
High dose of biotin may interference with many routine clinical immunoassays and inaccurate results of some of the tests such as cardiac troponin has serious clinical complications. There is...
The oncogenic transcription factor c-MYC (MYC) is deregulated, and often overexpressed, in more than 50% of cancers. MYC deregulation is associated with poor prognosis and aggressive disease,...
In the past two decades a small number of infrequently dividing cells have been proposed as the source of multi-drug resistance during cancer treatment. These cells identified by their expres...
PacBio Sequencing simultaneously provides long sequence reads, high consensus accuracy, minimal sequence bias, and methylation detection. I will highlight new advances and updates on applying...
To date the anatomic extent of tumor (TNM-classification) has been by far the most important factors to predict the prognosis of cancer patients. However, this classification provides limited...
RNA sequencing unlocks the mysteries hidden in the transcriptome. Whether your goal is gene expression analysis, gene fusion analysis, SNP analysis or miRNA expression analysis, achieving hig...
The microbiome signatures in the context of gynecologic cancers (endometrial and ovarian) and the potential for their clinical use will be discussed. The use of microfluidic technologies to i...
High-throughput screening is widely useful in identifying genes and pathways that drive changes in cell behavior such as cell cycle regulation, metastasis, and drug resistance. Millipor...
In prior work, we have pursued how tumor reactive monoclonal antibody (mAb), together with activators of innate immune cells, like NK cells, can augment antibody dependent cell-mediated cytot...
Molecular analyses of cancer biology have tended to segregate between a focus on nucleic acids – DNA, RNA and their modifications – and a focus on proteins and protein function. P...
With over 265,000 new cases per year and over 50,000 deaths, breast and ovarian cancers represent a significant health burden in the USA. Prior work has demonstrated that CD4 helper T c...
Understanding the immune repertoire is an important aspect of immuno-oncology research, which can be used to gather insights into the function and overall status of the immune system. We have...
