Respiratory viral infections remain a leading cause of medical visits and can contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality. Influenza, together with pneumonia, is the leading infectiou...
Influenza viruses are transmitted by membrane-bound virus particles, or virions. Unlike some viruses, which produce near-identical virions from a well-defined set of viral components, influen...
The efficacy of current influenza antiviral drugs is compromised by emerging drug resistance. To address this unmet medical need, we have made progress in developing novel influenza antiviral...
To prepare for the 2019 flu season it is important to get immunized. In 2019 a tetravalent (four-virus) vaccine is available in a number of forms including an egg-free formulation that is for...
Since the establishment of reverse genetics techniques to manipulate the influenza virus genome, it has been possible to study viral molecular signatures responsible for virulence, and the ge...
Multiple factors can affect and impact infection dynamics and virulence produced by influenza virus (IV) infections. Susceptibility factors and host responses can also have major effects in d...

The emergence of medicinal hemp represents a new frontier in medicine; one which has tremendous potential for patients struggling with a wide array of illnesses. However, in order to fully ca...
Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) has historically been very effective for exacting difficult chiral separations, with an unmatched power in terms of enabling highly efficient enantios...
Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies are a clinically important and life-saving class of biotherapeutics used in the treatment of several previously intractable diseases. However, their developm...
Chromatography is the first choice in separation technique for a wide selection of applications, across many fields, ranging from simple to highly complex extracts. The main rationale for it...
Calprotectin is a member of the S100 family of calcium binding proteins, being a hetero dimmer of S100A8/9 and accounts for 60% of the protein in the cytoplasm of neutrophils. It is released...

Metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) refractory to secondary hormonal treatments such as enzalutamide or abiraterone acetate are the most lethal of prostate cancers. In thi...
Accumulation of structural variations (SVs) across the genome is a known trigger factor for oncogenesis. Structural mutations have been clearly implicated in a number of cancers, most notably...
Blockade of CTLA-4 and PD-1, members of the B7/CD28 family, have proven to be the most successful cancer immunotherapies to date. While the current therapeutic focus remains on B7/CD28 family...
The Keynote Address will highlight eight actions that individuals can take to reduce their cancer risk. These recommendations span lifestyle modifications, cancer screening and molecular prev...
A subset of women with ovarian cancer will present with an apparently isolated adnexal mass. Many of these women will have early stage ovarian cancer with a relatively good prognosis. Unfortu...
Although about one in every seven men in the developed world will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, the mortality rate remains low with a 99% five-year survival rate for lo...
