Pre-clinical Research: is a level of research that begins before clinical trials can begin, and during which important feasibility, constant testing and drug safety data are collected. The aim of a preclinical study is to collect data in support of the safety of the new treatment. Preclinical studies are required before clinical trials in humans can be started.
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...
A key step in the clinical production of CAR T cells is the expansion of engineered T cells. To generate enough cells for viable adoptive cell therapy, cells must be robustly stimulated, whi...
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 initiation and virulence depends on mechanisms to evade host immunosurveillance and suppression of early invasion and growth. Distinct phenotypes of the immune infiltrates in and arou...
Dr. Koenitzer will present an overview of her current research in immune suppression. After a brief introduction to the MILLIPLEX® multiplex immunoassay portfolio, Dr. Koenitzer will dis...
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...
Programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibits T and B cell function upon ligand binding. PD-1 blockade revolutionized cancer treatment, and while numerous patients respond, some develop autoimmune-like...
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...
B cells have recently come into vogue as important contributors to the anti-tumor immune response in cancer patients. Specifically, B cells and the immune structures in which they reside (te...
Learning Objectives: 1. Define applications of approved and experimental (multiplexing IF) biomarker assessment in Immuno-Oncology 2. Define bottlenecks and areas of improvement to current t...
Platinum-based chemotherapy has been the cornerstone for treating metastatic urothelial cancer, which compromises the majority of bladder cancer. While urothelial cancer is chemosensitive, p...
Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a molecularly and clinically heterogeneous hematological malignancy. Despite recent advancements in the treatment of AML, approximately 50% of pat...
Many questions at the forefront of biology depend on the interactions of millions of single cells. My lab develops technologies for studying large numbers of single cells. In this talk, I wi...
Precision medicine is the paradigm to develop treatments for patients based on molecular-targets that are effective in vivo when administered. In addition to identifying the molecular and ce...
Design and interpretation of genome sequencing assays and data in both clinical diagnostics and research labs is complicated by an inability to identify information from the medical literatu...
The amount of data that is produced each day is mind boggling. Over 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created every single day, and this number continues to grow every single day. This year...
Proteins are the functional blocks of any biological entity from 50 nm sized viruses to the 100 ft long mammals (blue whale). They perform intra cellular, tissue, organ, system, or organism...
We describe a mass spectrometry (MS) analytical platform resulting from the novel integration of acoustic droplet ejection (ADE) technology, an open-port interface (OPI), and electrospray io...
The digital lab is knocking at your door. In the age of digitalization and Industry 4.0, the laboratory is also on its way to the future. Lab 4.0 includes robotic systems, fully automated wo...
Techniques to analyze and sort single cells based on secreted products have the potential to transform our understanding of cellular biology as well as accelerate the development of next gen...
LIMS systems are used extensively in laboratories everywhere. As a tool in the lab we need to be able to trust the system to have the necessary data integrity. Just like the analytical metho...
Analytical Method Validation work is based on a variety of guidelines and requirements hence being time-consuming and stressful. Reducing this work and improving efficiency while ensuring th...
