Clinical Trials: A clinical trial involves research participants. It follows a pre-defined plan or protocol to evaluate the effects of a medical or behavioral intervention on health outcomes. Clinical trials are done to determine whether new drugs or treatments are safe and effective. By taking part in clinical trials, participants not only play a more active role in their own health care, but they also can access experimental treatments and help others by contributing to medical research.
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is a key analyte for liquid biopsy samples. Due to extremely low concentration and high degree of fragmentation, the extraction of cfDNA is technically challenging. Her...
Testing volumes need to increase by orders of magnitude in order to restore communities back to normality. This workshop focuses on solutions that equip laboratories to participate in expand...
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) has been an indispensable tool for daily pathology practice. Multiplex designs have further facilitated its utility with improved efficacy. Several techniques of m...
