Scientists developed a bioinformatics pipeline to more accurately detect HIV drug resistance and potentially improve the quality of antiretroviral therapies for people living with HIV.

Scientists at the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research (FNL) and their National Cancer Institute colleagues have developed a method that enhances the capacity to identify interactions between proteins and molecules that are critical to drug targeting. The study reported in Science Advances includes libraries to aid other researchers…

A total of 120 scientists attended to discuss issues facing the field and exchange ideas for solutions.

Nanotechnology co-directors spoke at speaker series about modern vaccines and what the future may hold.

The team combed through data stored in the Nanotechnology Characterization Laboratory’s past projects pipeline and in caNanoLab.

The National Cancer Institute and Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research will hold the annual Technology Showcase on Wednesday, Sept. 7 in a hybrid format to welcome in-person attendees as well as remote participants from around the United States and the world. The event is scheduled from noon to 5:30 pm ET at the FNL’s Advanced…

Pursuing future partners and better weather, the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research (FNL) recently attended the BIO 2022 International Convention in San Diego. This convention is one of the largest biotech partnering events internationally, with over 3,000 foreign and domestic companies represented at this year’s week-long June…

The success of today’s COVID-19 vaccines has given medical nanotechnology a long-awaited boost, with a renewed interest in its potential for treating disease among big pharma and small start-ups. Over the years, nanotechnology has had its ups and downs in the public eye, cycling from peaks of excitement and fanfare–and a little too much hype–…

On any given day, microscopist Susan Lea, D.Phil., and her team at NCI at Frederick collect more data than can fit on any standard hard drive, creating a challenge for data storage and analysis. Their average data collection is 5 terabytes, a quantity roughly 20 times the storage capacity of a 256-gigabyte laptop or the equivalent of storing…

An initiative at Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research (FNL) is confronting what’s been dubbed the scientific “reproducibility crisis.” The effort, called STAR TREC (the Standards References and Training Research Committee), seeks to help the scientific community address reproducibility issues and aims to spur dialogue about better…
