How can you as an analytical chemist contribute towards developing lifesaving medicines within the pharmaceutical industry? Let's explore this rewarding career path through learning the whats, whys, and hows. First, we’ll cover some basics about Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and regulatory requirements so we can understand what characteristics of a compound need to be controlled …
CRBI Seminar - Dr. Terry Sachlos, Associate Professor - Teaching Stream, York University New paradigm of leukemic stem cells and how they can be targeted using differentiation therapy as novel therapeutic strategy
Acute myeloid leukemia is a fatal blood cancer. The malignant AML blast cells rapidly overwhelm the bone marrow, disrupting resident hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) and normal blood production and eventually causing death. Treatment involves the administration of DNA-binding chemotherapeutic agents that indiscriminately kill both HSC and progenitors, leading to myelosuppression and ultimately drug dose attenuation. Ideally, drugs should specifically target …
Abstract: New advances in analytical chemistry for large-scale epidemiological studies: Insights into nutrition and smoke exposures for global health A suboptimal diet and tobacco smoking are two leading modifiable risk factors in chronic disease burden globally that are typically evaluated using questionnaires by epidemiologists despite being prone to bias and misreporting. This presentation …
