Fundamental research, in comparison to applied research, is an area of scientific research that focuses on progressing rudimentary scientific theories with the goal of further understanding scientific basics and making educated predictions on observed phenomena.
Despite recent developments in hyphenated techniques and column technology, analysis of small polar analytes (small organic acids, phosphorylated sugars, and underivatized amino acids) remain...
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...
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...
Analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) is a powerful technique for analyzing fundamental characteristics of macromolecules in solution, including size and shape, assembly state, and degree of p...
Over the past few years, evidence has been accumulating to indicate that ribosomal subunits are not simply tape-heads that decode mRNA sequences into polypeptide chains, but that they also pl...
The continued growth of DNA sequencing as a fundamental data output has driven the need for the ability to generate high quality data from an increasing breadth of diminishing primary sample...
Every major scientific and technological revolution in history has been driven by one thing: access to data. Today, the availability of Big Data from a wide variety of sources is transforming...
Every cell in the body can release several types of extracellular vesicles (EVs), often called ”exosomes” or ”microvesicles”. These vesicles carry a wide array of mole...
Tumor cells often display fundamental changes in metabolism and increase their uptake of nutrients to meet the increased bioenergetic demands of proliferation. Glucose and glutamine are two m...
As next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms advance in their speed, ease-of-use, and cost-effectiveness, many translational researchers are transitioning from microarrays to RNA sequencing...
The ever-quickening pace of breathtaking advances in our understanding of disease biology has implicitly promised a profusion of drugs that will dramatically improve human health and well-bei...

In 2010, our team of synthetic biologists announced the creation of a bacterial cell that had a chemically synthesized genome. To build this synthetic Mycoplasma mycoides JCVI 1.0 we had to d...
The ENCODE and modENCODE consortia have generated a resource containing large amounts of transcriptomic data, extensive mapping of chromatin states, as well as the binding locations of >30...
This webinar presents the experience gained at our laboratory with comprehensive urine drug screening for clinical research using the Thermo Scientific™ Q Exactive™ hybrid quadrupole-Orbitra...

Six-Sigma quality is defined as 3.4 (or fewer) defects per million opportunities (DPMO). Achieving Six-Sigma quality in a clinical laboratory is extremely difficult. This presentation will sh...
Assessment of sensorimotor and cognitive function plays a crucial role in all facets of patient care, from diagnosing the specific disease or injury, to management and monitoring of rehabilit...
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...
Axonal growth and pathfinding is fundamental to the development and regeneration of the nervous system. Src tyrosine kinase has been implicated in this process; however, the detailed molecula...

In physical systems built with many components, emergent properties, such as magnetism, are often generated from the interactions among these particles. These emergent properties are often in...
It is well documented that social housing is fundamental to good welfare for non-human primates (NHPs). Despite this, many laboratory NHPs around the world continue to be singly housed, thoug...
The 8th Edition of the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (Guide NRC, 2011) has been in use since 2011. What changes has it brought? What are the impacts of those changes? The g...
