The COVID-19 pandemic highlights the need for diagnostics that can be rapidly adapted and deployed in a variety of settings. Several SARS-CoV-2 variants have shown worrisome effects on vacci...
This is a technical talk. Its objective is to provide details of virus sequencing, using SARS-CoV-2 as an example. Knowing the details, strengths, and limitations of virus sequencing will en...
Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) uses a stand-displacing DNA polymerase and four to six primers to rapidly amplify DNA at a single temperature. By eliminating temperature cyclin...
Altered enteric microorganisms in concert with host genetics shape inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) phenotypes. However, insight is limited to bacteria and fungi. We found that eukaryotic vi...
In this talk, I will introduce two new tools that we developed based on CRISPR-enabled gene regulation in bacteria, and one method based on P1 phagemid-enabled delivery of Cas9 nuclease. Fir...
Silk is essential to the life histories of more than 800,000 species across the arthropod tree of life. Humans have harnessed the ability of a handful of these for use in the sericulture ind...
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. This presentation will summarise the epidem...
Our understanding of the genetic basis of disease has been rapidly advancing thanks to major technological advances in genomic sequencing and data analysis. Yet the majority of individuals w...
CRISPR has revolutionized the biosciences over the past decade. The RNA-targeting CRISPR effector protein Cas13, discovered in 2016, opened up a myriad of new applications for CRISPR-based t...
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has driven the use of nucleic acid testing technology in clinical testing. There is a growing need for point-of-care testing (POCT)......
Smartphone-based optical imaging and sensing devices are among the next-generation biosensors that have shown great potential to transform the field of point-of-care (POC) diagnostics....
This talk will provide an overview of our work in the design of self-assembled, functionalised peptide and protein nanoparticles, hydrogels and bio-interfaces for applications in healthcare....
With the fast progress and deeper understanding of CAR-T cell therapy, finding a better solution other than lentivirus transduction is more requested, to overcome the functional limitation o...
The gastrointestinal (GI) epithelium is the body’s first line of defense to luminal contents such as food, microbiota, pharmaceuticals, and toxins. A small pool of proliferative stem a...
In the past decade, gene editing has been increasingly emphasized as an essential tool for therapy development. This has led to significant scientific advances in understanding disease mecha...
Programmable genome integration of large, diverse DNA cargo without DNA repair of exposed DNA double-strand breaks remains an unsolved challenge in genome editing. We present programmable ad...
Norovirus is a highly contagious virus and stands as the primary cause of acute gastroenteritis leading to vomiting and diarrhea across all age groups in the United States. Outbreaks of noro...
Human respiratory syncytial virus (hRSV) is a significant cause of lower respiratory tract infections in children under the age of 5, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals, leading...
This session provides an overview of how the applications for infectious disease and microbiology on the MISeq i100 Series can support genomic surveillance for managing disease outbreaks, co...
This webinar will explore how microfluidic singleplex qPCR enables simultaneous detection of multiple respiratory pathogens across diverse sample types in surveillance settings. We'll begin...
This session provides an introduction to the MiSeq i100 Series, the simplest, fastest benchtop sequencer. Giving a brief overview of the revolutionary technology that's been built into the n...
Our health, social, and economic systems are becoming increasingly interconnected across the globe....
