The words used in science can be perplexing. Join host Erin Merritt and her guests as they uncover their meaning and the positive impact and value of the science behind them.
MRIGlobal hosts Science Diction, a science show with 19 episodes published.
What happens when the cells of the nervous system, which are called neurons, die? As approximately 86 billion of these cells are found in the brain, spinal cord, and throughout the body, their failure can be devastating.
Generic pharmaceuticals make up nine out of every 10 prescriptions in the United States and in 2025 drugs for COPD, hypertension, high cholesterol, cancer, and many other disease conditions have expiring patents, so can
There are potentially billions of different types of bacteria, which are found almost everywhere. Some are friends while others are foes. For the few microbes that have the potential to make you sick, you can try to kill
New pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, and fungi are emerging at an unprecedented rate and spreading faster than ever before. This makes the ability to detect these threats – even unknown ones – more critical than e
Chemicals are all around us, from the foods we eat to flame retardants in the carpet. But how do we know that they're safe? In this episode with Dr. Kristin Aillon, we discuss the data that supports public health, whethe
The majority of synthetic opioid overdose deaths in 2023 were due to one drug – fentanyl. On this episode, we discuss why it's so potent, the scale of the problem, and how MRIGlobal is helping first responders do their j
Research scientists are putting CRISPR gene editing to work in agriculture, diagnostics, disease therapeutics, and even in the fight against climate change. Dr. Julie Lucas offers insight into why ensuring its responsibl
Sleep is an incredibly important process that involves multiple states and stages, each with different functions for health. It is also not a single homogeneous state, but a period that involves the complex interplay of
Infectious diseases can emerge from anywhere in the world, and when they do, it's critical that officials are prepared with detection and diagnostic methods for use in environments that have space, time, and resource con
Have you ever swabbed inside your nose and used that sample to help diagnose if you have the flu or COVID-19? Or maybe you peed on a pregnancy test. The technology that makes those and other diagnostic tests like them po
Picture this: a toolkit of standardized genetic components, a canvas of principles borrowed from engineering, and the artistry of constructing biological systems with unprecedented functions. Molecular biologist Richard
On the warfront or home front, chemical weapons are a threat. Working with government and commercial customers, we specialize in evaluating equipment to detect, decontaminate, and mitigate these threats. Our Cristina You
You are host to the deadliest viruses in the world. Researcher Kristin Bates offers insight into bacteriophages, how they are such effective killers of bacteria, why they could be so effective in field-forward settings,
Gene therapies, immune modulators, cell therapies and monoclonal antibodies, and even some vaccines are biologics. They are critically important in treating diseases that presently have no other treatments available. As
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, tuberculosis was the leading infectious disease killer in the world. The pandemic then had a devastating impact on the diagnosis, treatment, and research of tuberculosis. And through it al
Live attenuated vaccines, a technology that has existed for more than 100 years, can be uniquely suited to protect against particular diseases. Virologist and immunologist Dr. Christopher Weiss shares his expertise on wh
Vaccines are developed and administered to prime an immune response that either prevents or lessens disease severity when a microorganism is encountered in the future. As a virologist and immunologist, Dr. Christopher We
Before therapeutic pharmaceuticals go into clinical trial to ensure their safety, they must be received from the manufacturer and precisely stored and managed and then shipped to their destination for use in that trial.
Dr. Luca Popescu is a veterinarian turned global infectious disease expert who is focused on testing medical countermeasures like vaccines and therapeutics in response to infectious diseases. We spoke with him about the
