LIVE Symposium September 17-18, 2025 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) have emerged as essential tools for delivering genetic material into tissues and engineering therapeutic cells. As gene and cell therapies advance, researchers optimize AAV design and enhance vector production to improve targeting, precision, and safety. In this two-day symposium hosted by The…
Chemotherapy, although lifesaving, causes a lot of side effects as it travels through the body to reach a cancerous tumor. From nausea to hair loss, these reactions arise because these drugs also inadvertently affect healthy cells. José Mejía Oneto smiles and wears a blue collared shirt with his arms crossed.

Plain capsular polysaccharide (CPS) vaccines against infectious diseases, introduced in the 1970s, elicit limited immune responses, particularly in children under two.1 In the 1980s, scientists overcame these limitations by pioneering CPS and protein conjugation, generating conjugate vaccines that trigger a robust immunologic responses.1,2 In this article, explore how scientists design conjugate vaccine technologies by converting…
Unlike mouse eggs that drive up cellular cleaning to maintain their health, human oocytes reduce their protein degradative activities to minimize cellular stress and survive for decades.
