Environmental Science: is an interdisciplinary academic field that integrates physical, biological and information sciences to the study of the environment, and the solution of environmental problems. Environmental science emerged from the fields of natural history and medicine during the Enlightenment.
The Warburg effect or aerobic glycolysis is a well-known cancer metabolism phenomenon and serves as an established test for tumor detection with FDG-PET scanning technology. Cancer cells swit...

Natural preservation is often cited as effective and “safe” alternative to traditional synthetic preservative systems. However, the so-called natural preservatives bring a number...
Consumer, Household, and Industrial (CH&I) formulations have increasingly driven towards more environmentally acceptable ingredients within water-based formulations, microbial control str...
Biofilm is an ancient and preferred mode of growth for microbes with 99% of all microbes residing in a biofilm. Biofilm is characterized by a community of microbes (usually polymicrobial ofte...
The world–as microbes perceive it–is composed of physical and chemical stimuli. These stimuli create conditions that result in life or death for microbes, affecting their survival...
Rapid advances in sequencing technology and spectroscopy have led to new measurements of the microbiome. Labs make choices based on their environment of interest and the questions they wish t...
The human race, like all macrobiological life, evolved in a sea of microbes. There was no way to keep the bacterial and archaeal hoards at bay, so instead life evolved mechanisms to live with...
This presentation will discuss fundamental physical, chemical, and biological concepts important to understanding control of detrimental biofilms. Four phenomena that are important in the act...
The session will start with a brief review of the history and benefits of IQCPs. The structure and components of the IQCP will be presented with more emphasis on Risk Management Concepts. ...
Behaviors are motivated by two emotional valences: Seeking pleasure and avoiding pain. The ability to select appropriate behavioral responses to environmental stimuli, such as avoiding a pred...
During my presentation, we will discuss:- Normal patterns of behavior (repertoire): social, food intake, territorial, agonistic, anti-predation, sleep and rest, play behavior, grooming, sex...
Soiled-bedding sentinels are not always efficient in detecting pathogens in rodent colonies. In this context, PCR-based testing can be more sensitive and is being advocated as adjunct to trad...
In this presentation I describe pathway based analyses of genotyping data to identify pathways related to the development of complex diseases, with a focus on lung cancer and selected autoimm...
Next Generation Sequencing has revolutionized genomic variant discovery. The major bottle-neck for sequencing projects is the individual, biological sample, library preparation. This platfo...
Neural stem cells exist in the adult mammalian brain throughout life. They reside in the subgranular layer of the dentate gyrus and in the subventricular zone. Neural stem cells have the capa...
The Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative is part of a new Presidential focus aimed at revolutionizing our understanding of the human brain. By acce...
ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) mediates cholesterol efflux to lipid-free apolipoproteins such as apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) and apolipoprotein E (apoE). ABCA1 is essential regul...
All trainers are people but not all people are trainers. Several factors beyond the trainer influence the effectiveness of a safety training programs. This program will discuss the critical...
The environment in which laboratory rodents are kept has an impact on experimental data and breeding performance. The quality of the environment is defined by both the quality of the primary...
Biofilms, are defined as communities of microorganisms that grow embedded in a self-generated matrix of exopolysaccharides and adhered to an inert surface or a live tissue. They are formed 95...
As the prevalence of the use of Zebrafish as an animal model continues its ballistic growth, the need for a better understanding of the factors that add up to success is needed. Topics cover...
Although a growing body of evidence indicates that environmental enrichment (EE) facilitates normal development and behaviour in laboratory mice, few studies were conducted to demonstrate it...
Abnormal behavior commonly occurs in captive nonhuman primates. It differs from normal behavior in either kind or degree and consists of behaviors such as pacing, self-grasping, and self-inju...
