Lab Equipment: are tools and equipment used by scientists who work in laboratories. The average equipment you'd see in a lab would include tools such as Bunsen burners and microscopes as well as specialty equipment such as operant conditioning chambers, spectrophotometers and calorimeters.
There is growing concern about the reliability of biomedical research results. Poor experimental design, inappropriate analysis methods and incomplete reporting have all contributed to incon...
Pain management includes the choice of analgesia agents, their dose, administration method, duration and frequency of treatment, and a pain-monitoring scheme for each individual animal. Insu...
Date: December 17, 2020 Time: 9:00am (PST), 12:00pm (EST) Correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) advances biological discoveries by merging different microscopes and imaging moda...
To execute COVID-19 testing strategies effectively, labs need to procure reliable components of the workflow without interruption – from reagents to equipment and consumables at the sc...
DATE: November 18, 2020 TIME: 08:00am PDT We develop and implement technologies to solve some of the major bottlenecks in biomedical research. In particular, we establish new imaging approac...
Testing volumes need to increase by orders of magnitude in order to restore communities back to normality. This workshop focuses on solutions that equip laboratories to participate in expand...
Tumor phenotypes are dictated not only by the neoplastic cell component, but also by the tumor microenvironment (TME), which is inherently immuno-suppressive, is equipped to hamper effector...
Date: October 10, 2020 Time: 10:00am (PDT), 1:00pm (EDT) Rodent bile collection studies can be challenging. Not only do they require a technically difficult surgery, but there is also a lear...
RNA plays important and diverse roles in biology, but molecular tools to manipulate and measure RNA are limited. We demonstrate that RNA-targeting CRISPR effector Cas13 can be engineered for...
The CRISPR/Cas genome editing system has revolutionized nearly every aspect of the life science industry. Until recently, the most used formats for this technology have been plasmids, mRNA,...
CRISPR-based genome editing has accelerated biological research and holds great potential for studying and treating human diseases. The CRISPR-Cas9 system requires a Cas9 nuclease and a guid...
While transformative, first-generation CRISPR technologies remain limited across multiple important dimensions including scalability, editing efficiency, types of modifications available, an...
Genome Engineering allows the easy manipulation of genomes down to the nucleotide level. Targeted deep sequencing enables the detection and quantification of low-frequency editing events. Ho...
Genome editing with an expanded CRISPR-Cas tool set increases the opportunity to make intentional, targeted changes in the genome. Furthermore, improved specificity of genome editing and abi...
Combinatorial inhibition of effector and feedback pathways is a promising treatment strategy for KRAS mutant cancers. However, the particular pathways that should be targeted to optimize the...
Learning Objectives: 1. Using an optics- and label-free approach to CRISPR research 2. Explain current approaches to selecting the most robust gRNA for CRISPR assays 3. The opportunities tha...
The adenosine analogue remdesivir has emerged as a front-line antiviral treatment for SARS-CoV-2, with preliminary evidence that it reduces the duration and severity of illness. Prior clinic...
An extensively debated concern about CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing is that unspecific guide RNA (gRNA) binding may induce off-target mutations. However, accurate prediction of CRISPR-Cas9 off-t...
A repeat expansion in the C9orf72-SMCR8 complex subunit (C9orf72) represents the most common genetic cause of two fatal neurodegenerative diseases: frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrop...
Cas9 based therapeutics have the potential to revolutionize the treatment of genetic diseases. However, safe and effective methods for delivering Cas9 protein, gRNA and donor DNA need to be...
Choosing the right solution for your laboratory’s SARS-CoV-2 testing needs can be a difficult decision. With the dynamic demand on labs, making the wrong choice could be catastrophic....
DATE: September 15, 2020 TIME: 08:00am PT Tumorigenesis and cancer progression are affected by the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). The TIME not only influences the efficiency of existi...
While global demand for food is expected to increase significantly (70% by 2050), the agricultural industry is suffering from a decline in soil fertility, the adverse effects of climate chan...
While live cell imaging offers advantages over traditional static imaging, this approach has been challenging for studying microbes due to the difficulty in tracking very small cells in a si...
