Family science is the unique study of family dynamics. Though it can be considered an interdisciplinary field, it has also developed its own views and theories that seperates itself from other fields of study.
NTRK fusions are rare but important recent biomarkers linked to response to new TRK inhibitors. Comprehensive genomic profiling on all solid tumors permits detection of rare genomic events an...
The last two decades have seen an explosion in the volume of oncology data generated using next-generation sequencing (NGS) and multi-omics techniques. As a result, there is a growing need fo...
As the pace of biotherapeutic approvals increases, so does the pressure on makers of new biologics to complete their development processes faster and more efficiently. The success of the drug...
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 the postgenomic era, one expects the suite of chemical players in a brain region to be known and their functions uncovered. Perhaps surprisingly, many neurochemicals remain poorly characte...
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,...
Sexually transmitted diseases remain a major global public health burden despite the availability of effective prevention strategies to diagnose and treat bacterial STDs. Concerning tre...
In the US, the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System has been using WGS of Salmonella as a tool of routine surveillance since 2013. To date, NARMS has generated MIC and WGS data...

There is robust evidence supporting strong association with CYP450 (Phase 1) enzymes and influence on drug levels (affecting response & side effects in many cases) with many psychotropic...
NSD2 catalyzes the mono- and di-methylation of the e-amine of lysine 36 from histone H3, utilizing the methyl donor S-adenosyl-L-methionine. Increased catalytic activity of NSD2, either by ov...
As the costs of genomic analysis decline it becomes possible to offer widescale population genomic analysis to screen for genetic disorders. The Alabama Genomic Health Initiative was es...
In this presentation I will describe results from a family study designed to identify the genetic cause for familial clustering of several early onset cancers. Data from next generatio...
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men and a major health issue in the US and Worldwide. Until recently, prostate cancer was not felt to be a hereditary disease.  ...
One would think that getting the diagnosis after fifteen years would end the journey. How does your work at the bench affect patients and how can you change lives through cell therapy? ...
It has only been in the last 20 years that we, the scientific/medical community, have appreciated the role of the endogenous Cannabinoid system (ECS) in maintaining a healthy immune system an...
As more research on cannabis surfaces, families are increasingly looking into treating theirchild’s debilitating conditions with medical cannabis. Most do not know where to begin with...
Studies have demonstrated how cannabis may contribute to cancer treatment not only by treating symptoms but also by: cancer cell apoptoss, anti-proliferation, anti-metastatic and anti-angioge...
In this panel discussion, parents of children using cannabis discuss their experience Herah Osborne: A mother’s story about her journey with her twins having Fragile X syndrome an...
Most neuropsychiatric diseases involve multifactorial systems characterized by complex interactions among genetic predisposition/resiliency, environmental/social determinants, molecular seque...
GPCRs constitute the largest receptor family in the human genome. Over the years they have proven themselves to be druggable targets accounting for about 1/3 of all drugs on the market today....
Compassion fatigue, or the state of chronic stress for those caring for people or animals in distress, can affect anyone working in the lab animal sciences. This can even affect employe...
