Population science is a field of epidemiology focuses on why some populations are healthier than others. Population scientists use the information learned when comparing the health of populations to research ways to improve health.
Bulk analysis often leads to conclusions that assume averages reflect the dominant biological mechanism operating within an entire population. To fully understand how cellular heterogeneity c...

The talk will first report on a new patented method of counting CTCs based on the metabolism of tumor cells, that favors acidification of their near environment. In order to maintain the acid...

Urinalysis is one the oldest, most established, and most frequently ordered laboratory tests. However, there is wide variation in the methods, processes, quality checks, specifications,...
The human body is populated with trillions of microorganisms, collectively termed the human microbiome, that play vital roles in health including nutrition and metabolism, immune development,...
Buerger’s disease, commonly known as Thromboangiitis obliterans, is a non-atherosclerotic, segmental inflammatory disease that can affect the small and medium-sized arteries of young pe...
Stem cells, specifically induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), offer exciting potential for the future of cell therapy and regenerative medicine. More recently, genetic engineering of stem ...
Neurons derived from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), including embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), are excellent resources for disease modeling and d...
Precision medicine requires success in two intertwined aspects: precision therapy and personalized medicine. Precision therapy is being able to effectively treat the right disease; to have th...
An emerging infectious disease or re-emerging infectious disease is defined by WHO as “one that has appeared in a population for the first time, or that may have existed previously but...
This presentation covers the "Individualized Quality Control Plan” (IQCP) implemented by The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on January 1, 2016. The guidance and...
Targeted sequencing assays are increasingly used to identify tumor mutations that guide therapeutic decisions. Interpretation of a cancer variant’s origin and therapeutic impact poses a...
Technological advances allow for the large scale sequencing of the whole human genome. Most studies have generated population-based information on human diversity using low to intermediate co...
Human breast tumors have been shown to exhibit extensive inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity. While recent advances in genomic technologies have allowed us to deconvolute this heterogeneity,...
