History of Medicine: shows how societies have changed in their approach to illness and disease from ancient times to the present. Early medical traditions include those of Babylon, China, Egypt and India. The Indians introduced the concepts of medical diagnosis, prognosis, and advanced medical ethics.
The long term goal of our collaborative effort is to bring precision medicine to the practice of veterinary oncology, using the wealth of genomic data gathered in human cancers as a roadmap....
This talk will review successful efforts at Washington University to employ novel reagents and informatics to the problem of rare allele detection. I will discuss a published bakeoff of in si...
The development of automated DNA sequencers utilizing Sanger sequencing and capillary electrophoresis made it possible to develop the first draft sequences of the human genome. The cost of do...
In this presentation, Dr. Kothari will provide an overview of the Precision Medicine Initiative from NIH and how NGS technologies have helped the researchers to look deep inside the human tra...
Tumor mutational burden (TMB) is an emerging biomarker that correlates with response to immunotherapeutic agents, such as checkpoint inhibitors. Recent studies indicate that a high mutation l...
Recent advances in genomic technologies have revealed enormous complexities and uniqueness of human physiology. Although enormous efforts are being made to apply this knowledge to enhance the...
The NIH put Precision Medicine on the map as a revolutionary way to manage disease, delivering the right treatment, to the right patient, at the right time. But what does Precision Medicine r...
Virtually all tumors are genetically heterogeneous, containing subclonal populations of cells that are defined by distinct mutations. Subclones can have unique phenotypes that influence disea...
Inherited disorders affect millions of people globally. These diseases significantly impact lives of patients and their families, and in addition, also results in substantial socio-economic i...
DATE: April 30, 2019TIME: 8:00am PDTIumour-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are of increasing interest as a resource of diagnostic biomarkers. However, most EV assays require large...
The Ebola virus disease outbreak in West Africa in 2014-2016 was the largest of its kind in history. This was the first outbreak that involved a randomized clinical trial for therapeutics, a...
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...
Several clinical and preclinical studies implicate abnormal endocannabinoid functioning and neuroinflammation as possible mechanisms in the pathophysiology of autism. Correcting these abnorma...
Drug overdose surpassed motor vehicle accidents as the leading cause of accidental death 2006 and has remained the leading cause of accidental death at the state and national level. Mos...
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...
As the most common female malignancy, breast cancer is the most likely reason that a woman will die of cancer around the world. Breast cancer mortality has dropped in the U.S. by 35% since 19...
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Large-scale sequencing studies have revealed the complex genomic landscape of NSCLC and genomic differences between lun...
Two projects looking at novel approaches to targeting inflammatory breast cancer will be presented. Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is a unique, understudied, and most lethal subtype account...
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,...
In the past two decades a small number of infrequently dividing cells have been proposed as the source of multi-drug resistance during cancer treatment. These cells identified by their expres...
PacBio Sequencing simultaneously provides long sequence reads, high consensus accuracy, minimal sequence bias, and methylation detection. I will highlight new advances and updates on applying...
To date the anatomic extent of tumor (TNM-classification) has been by far the most important factors to predict the prognosis of cancer patients. However, this classification provides limited...
RNA sequencing unlocks the mysteries hidden in the transcriptome. Whether your goal is gene expression analysis, gene fusion analysis, SNP analysis or miRNA expression analysis, achieving hig...
High-throughput screening is widely useful in identifying genes and pathways that drive changes in cell behavior such as cell cycle regulation, metastasis, and drug resistance. Millipor...
