Treating Viral Infections with mRNA-Encoded Cas13

Multiplexed tissue analysis is a powerful technique that allows comparisons of cell-type locations and cell-type interactions within a single fixed tissue sample. It is common for researchers to ask these questions before a multiplexing study begins: "How do I know what biomarkers are relevant in the tissue? Also, how do I pivot towards additional biomarkers as my research questions evolve?" Smart study design can help answer existing questions and enable continued exploration of new connections that weren’t immediately obvious at the beginning of the study. Multiplexed IF imaging can replace historical immunohistochemical staining, allowing researchers to explore more in-depth questions on the same piece of tissue.

The Alkek Center for Metagenomics and Microbiome Research (CMMR) at Baylor College of Medicine is pursuing numerous research and development efforts in the study of how the microbiome impacts human disease and how this knowledge can be translated into novel therapeutics and diagnostics. Among these efforts is a new study involving the impact of major disasters, such as Hurricane Harvey, where associated flooding and other environmental exposures to chemicals or pathogens (e.g. mold), and their impact on human health, may be reflected in the microbiome of exposed individuals.

The global food system is growing rapidly, contributing to the abundance of choices available for consumers and adding complexity to the food supply chain. With numerous connection points and so many participants, there are greater chances for inefficiency, waste, and fraud. Consequently, innovators in the food industry are now recognizing the opportunity to modernize and transform the food system, creating greater trust and transparency throughout. Using Blockchain as the underlying technology for a renewed food system, organizations are realizing unique benefits that accompany the digitization of information. In addition to gaining abilities like instant tracebacks, supply chain efficiency and data insights, participants are acquiring brand differentiation, consumer trust, and sustainability.
