COVID-19 is a complex multi-phase disease in which the immune system causes disease exacerbation in some patients. This talk covers how digital pathology and tissue multiplexing techniques can be combined to effectively investigate the pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2 to better inform the optimal selection and scheduling of therapeutic approaches.

Prof. Aldo Scarpa, EPC President Director of Pathology University of Verona Director ARC-NET: Centre for Applied Research on Cancer

At the 53rd Meeting of the European Pancreatic Club, Leica Biosystems sponsored interesting short talks from Prof Aldo Scarpa, President of EPC, and Dr Rita Lawlor on "Multiplexing Immunohistochemistry for Applied Research", and “Digital imaging for biobanking and artificial intelligence”.

Dr. Mariano Carossino, Assistant Professor, Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine

RNAscope detects RNA in any tissue type and is becoming a widely used technique in research laboratories. Dr. Carossino introduces IHC and ISH methodologies and platforms, as well as the advantages of automating these techniques with respect to RNAscope and automation with Leica Biosystems BOND RXM.

John Stock, Senior Technical Support Specialist, Leica Biosystems

Processing multiple specimens and performing serial cuts can result in high section numbers. Nevertheless, reproducibility can't be compromised. Permanent attention to detail and many hours in front of the cryostat can be exhausting for the user.

Michael Johnson, PhD, CEO Visikol Inc.

In this webinar, learn about various multiplex labeling (up to 10-plex) techniques and subsequent whole slide imaging approaches from Visikol. Hear how this can be applied to answer complex research questions such as surveying the immune cell population within a tumor microenvironment, or evaluating therapeutics for infectious diseases.
