A medical laboratory (also known as clinical laboratory) is a laboratory where tests are done on clinical specimens with the purpose of getting information about a patients health in order to treat, diagnose and/or prevent disease. Medical laboratories often staff the following: Phlebotomists, Pathologists, Pathologists's assistants, Medical laboratory scientists, Medical laboratory assistants, Medical laboratory technicians, and Clinical biochemists, just to name a few.

While providing indispensable insight into immune processes, the live cell imaging of immune cells poses unique challenges due to their non-adherent nature. Suspension cells such as immune c...
Multiplexed immunofluorescent imaging sheds new light on cancer and other complex conditions. This imaging technique offers a deeper understanding of cells and their surroundings by providin...
Immune checkpoint blockade has revolutionized the treatment for patients with cancer. Great efforts remain to better understand resistant mechanisms to treatment as well as means to improve...
Cancer cells can acquire immune resistance resulting in a loss of immunosurveillance. Tumor cells can upregulate PDL-1 which binds to PD-1. This complex inhibits CD8 Tumor Infiltrating cells...
Cancer vaccines are increasingly being developed and tested as a cancer treatment and prevention strategy. Designing cancer vaccines is complicated by a number factors including choice of an...
Immune checkpoint therapies targeting the CTLA-4 and PD-(L)1 pathways have been largely clinically disappointing for patients with prostate cancer. This can be attributed to the highly immun...
1. Identify 3 barriers to immune cell response to cancer 2. List 3 approaches to overcome immunosuppressive barriers to bolster the immune response to cancer 3. Explain how fusion proteins c...
The mammary gland is a unique organ that develops predominantly after birth and undergoes dramatic remodelling in reproductive phases. Macrophages have been implicated in mammary gland funct...
One of the main challenges in cancer immunotherapy is the resistance to I-O therapies. Primary resistance can occur before treatment and acquired resistance can occur in patients who respond...
NCI estimates that cancer will be the leading cause of death in 2030, worldwide. Checkpoint inhibitors and adoptive cell therapies (ACTs) cost up to ~$2 million/patient and have shown durabl...
