Optimization of culture conditions and evaluation of cell health Watch Recording On Demand A major limitation in studying human diseases affecting the nervous system is the ability to culture, monitor and analyze neuronal cells that accurately represent human phenotypes of these disorders. The use of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neurons has provided a […]

The increasing importance of large molecule therapeutics has been coupled with advancements in LC–MS technology, opening up new opportunities. Typically, large molecules are analyzed using ligand-binding assays but with advanced progress in MS technology the community has seen increased success in overall sensitivity and selectivity. However, what does this mean for future analysis and what […]
Identifying respiratory pathology will look at the entire spectrum of making a pathology diagnosis. We will start by explaining various specimen collection methods. Once the specimen is collected and processed in histology or cytology, this presentation will look at different staining techniques and IHC/molecular methods used to make a diagnosis. The presentation will conclude with […]
“Man on Fire” syndrome, also known as Inherited Erythromelalgia (IEM), is a chronic pain syndrome characterized by burning pain in the hands and feet. The chronic pain of most patients with IEM cannot be relieved by common pain killers making this disease a major unmet medical need. Precision Medicine is an approach that tailors the […]

Join Dr. Sonia Qasba for a live interactive webinar event! On June 1st, the American Academy of Pediatrics released the new Red Book® 2018 edition, which expands established AAP recommendations for TB blood testing in children. The AAP now preferentially recommends the use of TB blood tests (IGRAs) in BCG-vaccinated children aged 2 years and […]
Measurement of these metabolites represents the digital readout of health. A key aspect of metabolomics is the utilization of high resolution mass spectrometric approaches to detect and identify metabolites from biological fluids and tissues. The use of multi-analyte analyses as well as high resolution mass spectrometric approaches has the potential to transform clinical diagnostics for […]
Three-dimensional (3D) cell aggregates are of great interest for many applications, including disease modeling, drug toxicity assessment, and manufacture of stem cell-based products. Stirred-tank bioreactors are promising culture systems for 3D cell aggregates, as they allow efficient establishment and maintenance of cell aggregates, process monitoring and control, and process scale-up to larger volumes. Furthermore, they […]
In our daily lives we are exposed to thousands of commercially used chemicals. Many of these chemicals are not toxic at typical exposure levels, but for thousands of chemicals, toxicological information is lacking. The National Academy of Sciences report on ‘‘Toxicity testing in the 21st century’’ highlighted the need for efficient methods to screen chemicals […]
