The term viral refers to an infection driven by a virus and examples include COVID-19, AIDS, measles, hepatitis, and smallpox. Viruses contain DNA or RNA and must infect host cells in order to replicate and they can damage the host during this process. Antiviral medications or vaccines can treat viral infections.
The human race, like all macrobiological life, evolved in a sea of microbes. There was no way to keep the bacterial and archaeal hoards at bay, so instead life evolved mechanisms to live with...
This presentation will discuss fundamental physical, chemical, and biological concepts important to understanding control of detrimental biofilms. Four phenomena that are important in the act...
Among many surprising insights, the genomic revolution has helped us to realize that we're never alone and, in fact, barely human. For most of our lives, we share our bodies with some ten ti...
Human microbiome projects have delivered our first glimpse into the microbial communities that reside in and on our bodies. Building on these efforts the research community has begun to corre...
Managing microbial contaminants is critical during the manufacturing of biologics, food and beverage to ensure that products meet the high quality product standard as well as staying complian...
Exosomes are small secreted vesicles that have a diameter of ~50-200 nm. Exosomes are enriched for a specific subset of host-derived proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and carbohydrates, though ...
Consistent accuracy in reporting quantitative viral load results is critically important to patients, their physicians and to the clinical laboratory. In clinical practice, quantitative viral...
The practice of laboratory clinical microbiology is finally changing driven by the assimilation of newer technologies, like Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization - Time of Flight/Mass S...
With the development of the XLA/XLI analytical ultracentrifuges and their exquisitely sensitive optics that can accurately detect absorbance signals in the range of 0.005 A to 1.5 A. and diff...

Human malignant glioma is a uniformly fatal disease, causing over 14,000 deaths in the US this year. Adults diagnosed with malignant brain tumors have a median survival of approximately 15 mo...
Accurate and timely diagnosis of rejection and infection is essential for long-term survival of solid-organ transplant recipients. We evaluated the performance a novel test to monitor rejecti...
There is growing pressure to implement new generation sequencing platform in hospital emergency rooms. The utility would be obvious: identifying unknown pathogens form cerebrospinal fluid/pl...
Nonhuman primates are commonly used in biomedical research due to its anatomical, behavioral, and genetic similarities with humans. Macaques, especially the Rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) ar...
Cervical cancer screening has evolved significantly since the PAP smear was introduced in 1949. In particular, the association with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and the mechanism of H...
Personalized medicine is expected to benefit from the combination of genomic information with the global monitoring of molecular components and physiological states. To ascertain whether this...
A 2013 survey conducted by the Woodrow Wilson Synthetic Biology Project found that 75% of adults have heard just a little or nothing at all about synthetic biology, figures that were virtuall...
Dr. Johannes van der Loo will cover the vital role viral vectors play in today's gene research, as well as the use of ultracentrifugation to produce these key delivery systems.
