HawaiÊ»i is one of Earth’s most beautiful, yet plastic polluted, marine environments. This presentation will provide an overview of microplastic research in Hawaiian beach sand, sea tur...
I will first discuss findings from the larger field on microplastics effects across taxa in freshwater and marine ecosystems, and then cover ongoing work in our research group comparing resp...
Experimental models that promise to replace animal tests that are currently required for drugs and chemicals are rapidly proliferating. This includes a number of novel solutions offered by b...
The forensic investigation of crime involves answering four basic questions: who, what, where, and when. Tools exist to answer questions of who, what and where, but the question when is ofte...
The toxicology of particulate matter is complicated by characteristics not normally encountered when addressing poisonings associated with chemical substances. Particle shape, surface reacti...
Setting up an analytical laboratory requires a clear objective and analytical resources, both instrumentation and technical. The four main areas of focus exist during this process: 1) Instru...
Household produce varieties such as ‘Red Delicious,’ ‘Campari,’ and ‘Earlidew’ have been selectively bred and have been enhanced for flavor since the 1990...
Every cannabis variety has unique genetics, but the plant's potential is limited by its environment. Manipulating inputs and modifying the environment is the most effective way to maximi...
DNA profiling tools to teach undergraduate students about forensics generally utilize the PV92 Alu and D1S80 VNTR markers, but are both limited in scope. In contrast, advanced profiling syste...
Contemporary law enforcement has greatly expanded its ability to solve crimes by the adoption of advanced forensic techniques, electronic monitoring and new approaches in crime scene procedur...
The incidence of conditions such as diabetes, obesity, asthma, and cancer have increased substantially in the past 30 years. The human genome has not changed in that period of time, so the en...
Prediction of human response to chemical exposures is the primary challenge of pharmaceutical and environmental toxicology research. The complexity of human responses to xenobiotic exposures...
As reimbursement changes and healthcare moves towards value-based models, the clinical laboratory is faced with the challenge of redefining its value outside the cost per test. This session...
Whole food plant-based diets and medical cannabis have shared and continues to share similar levels of scrutiny, doubt, and stigma by the traditional medical community. One reason for the med...
Quantitative methods for residual pesticides and mycotoxins analysis in cannabis should provide reliable coverage and robust methodology for the entire list of analytes to fulfill the state m...
The immune system is linked to an increasing number of medical diseases, including lately also severe mental disorders. Hence, infections, autoimmunity and other immune responses could be inv...
Experimental models that promise to replace animal tests that are currently required for drugs and chemicals are rapidly proliferating. This includes a number of novel solutions offered by bi...
Xenobiotic-induced cardiotoxicity is a major concern for both pharmaceuticals and chemicals in the marketplace. For drugs, "Thorough QT/corrected QT (QTc)" (TQT) studies are corners...
Everyone that uses titration in their lab knows how simple and fast the technique can be. However, uncertainty around when to replace electrodes creates confusion. Reagent quality, tubi...
The soil microbiome can produce, resist, or degrade antibiotics and even catabolize them. Resistance genes are widely distributed in the soil and may act as a reservoir for pathogen antibioti...
The greatest need in agriculture this century is to mitigate impacts of abiotic (drought, temperature, salinity) and biotic (pathogens, pests) stresses on crop plants. Efforts over the...
