Unlike the current practice of American cellular companies, which lock customers' handsets to a particular carrier, Mr. Hundt's network envisions a system that would let a consumer connect a device like an Apple iPhone or a Palm hand-held device upon purchasing the device at a store like Best Buy.
In practice, two types of cellular contamination might be recognized.
However, in practice, the inference of cellular fraction is complicated by copy number aberrations and normal admixture (percentage of the tumor sample that is normal cells), and these two factors are themselves correlated (Carter et al., 2012; Oesper et al., 2013; Strino et al., 2013).
Therefore, transfusion medicine professionals are required to be familiar with the practice of manufacturing therapeutic cellular products for clinical use.
Introducing Sommer, Robert Lue, faculty director for the Ed Portal, professor of the practice of molecular and cellular biology, and faculty director of HarvardX, said that her scholarship and breadth of work reflected her belief in building bridges across disciplines, fields, and communities.
"One of the critical priorities for HarvardX is using online learning for doing research and understanding not only what constitutes the most effective practice but also what this can tell us about how humans learn in general," said Robert A. Lue, professor of the practice of molecular and cellular biology and faculty director for HarvardX, as well as one of its co-creators.
Robert A. Lue, professor of the practice of molecular and cellular biology, is named the inaugural Richard L. Menschel Faculty Director of the Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning, placing him at the forefront of efforts to rethink and support teaching and learning, both on campus and online.
But 24 Harvard students, under the direction of Robert A. Lue, professor of the practice of molecular and cellular biology, put their minds to the challenge this summer for "The Biopolis," an inaugural trans-Atlantic collaboration linking biological principles to "smart" cities, part of the Harvard Summer School program.
The effort, called LabXchange, will be developed by a group led by Robert Lue, professor of the practice of molecular and cellular biology, and will create not just a series of virtual laboratory experiences for students, but also tools for instructors to create and remix existing instructional content to provide the related scientific background.
Conditioning the extent of regulation on the degree of manipulation may make sense on paper but is vague and confusing in practice, especially in the dynamic field of cellular therapies.
