The metastatic spread of tumors to distant organs is responsible for more than 90% of cancer-related deaths. Malignant cells that detach from a primary tumor and spread through the bloodstream are called circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Analysis of CTCs collected from blood holds promise as a repeatable and minimally invasive alternative for tissue biopsies. However, widesp

Antibodies act as a nexus between innate and adaptive immunity: they provide a means to target the potent toxic activities of a spectrum of innate immune effector cells in order to clear viral particles and infected cells. This functional landscape is remarkably complex, with multiple antibody variants directed to multiple epitopes on multiple viral antigens. This diversit

Dr. Miller will discuss results from his study of pre-clinical Alzhimer's disease as part of the BIOCARD project. We will examine the central technologies of Computational Anatomy based on diffeomorphometry for quantifying the anatomical structures of 3T clinical MRI at 1 millimeter scale.

Microbial strains have been successfully engineered to produce a wide variety of chemical compounds, several of which have been commercialized. As new products are targeted for biological synthesis, yield is frequently considered a primary driver towards determining feasibility. Theoretical yields can be calculated, establishing an upper limit on the potential conversion
