Methylation has largely been under-utilized in the transformational and clinical space to date. Learn how Illumina is working with organizations like UCLA to accelerate utility and novel applications that are impacting clinical practice and patient lives. You may be surprised to see what's happened over the last two years. With the decreasing cost an increased utility of whole-genome sequencing, Illumina has leveraged global reference genome consortia to optimize content designs for precision medicine and wellness testing arrays.

Speaker: Jamie Spangler, Ph.D. Affiliation: Department of Biomedical Engineering and Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering Reshaping the immune landscape through molecular engineering The repertoire of naturally occurring proteins is finite and many molecules induce multiple confounding effects, limiting their efficacy as therapeutics. Recently, there has been a growing interest in redesigning existing proteins or engineering entirely new proteins to address the deficiencies of molecules found in nature. Researchers have traditionally taken an unbiased approach to protein engineering, but as our knowledge of protein…
