SUMMARY:A more sustainable chemistry with elemental sulfur
DESCRIPTION:Thanh Binh Nguyen\n\n\n\nUniversité Paris-Saclay\, France\n\n\n\nLINK TO THE SEMINAR\n\n\n\nAbstract\n\n\n\nFacing a more and more rapid depletion of natural resources\, one of the most challenging problems to be solved of modern organic chemistry is to develop reactions enabling access to target molecules from simple and readily available starting materials with higher efficiency in number of atoms while reducing the number of steps\, unnecessary redox changes and waste. With this idea in mind\, we have been concentrating on the use of elemental sulfur – an abundant waste of oil and gas industry with annual product up to 70 MT –  as a polyvalent synthetic tool. This lecture will focus on organic redox reactions developed in our laboratory involving this element as a new synthetic strategy that satisfies most of the requirements of a more sustainable chemistry. \n\n\n\nBiography\n\n\n\nThanh Binh Nguyen received his BS degree (2004) from the University of Natural Sciences in Hochiminh city\, Vietnam and subsequently his MS (2005) and PhD degrees (2008) from the the Université du Maine – Le Mans -France. After a two-year postdoctoral stay at the Institut de Chimie des Substances Naturelles – Gif-sur-Yvette – France\, he obtained a permanent research associate position (Chargé de Recherche) of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) in 2011\, working in the same institute. His main research interest is the development of new synthetic methods for carbon-nitrogen bond formation with a strong emphasis on using elemental sulfur\, molecular iodine and iron–sulfur catalysts. \n\n\n\nHost\n\n\n\nDuc Duy Vo\, Uppsala University

SUMMARY:Statistical and machine learning techniques in microbiome research
DESCRIPTION:Leo Lahti\n\n\n\nDepartment of Computing\, University of Turku\, Turku\, Finland \n\n\n\nLINK TO SEMINAR \n\n\n\nLeo Lahti is associate professor in data science in University of Turku\, Finland. After completing his PhD in Aalto University\, Finland\, in 2010 he carried out several years of postdoctoral research in The Netherlands and Belgium on population studies of the human microbiome. Lahti has organized various international training events in microbiome bioinformatics\, and he is the Finnish coordinator of the COST action on statistical and machine learning methods in microbiome studies. \n\n\n\nStatistical and machine learning techniques in microbiome research\n\n\n\nThe diverse microbial communities living in human body have a profound influence on our well-being. Human microbiome research has expanded rapidly following the recent advances in high-throughput DNA sequencing and other omics’ technologies. Consequently\, the demand for targeted computational methods has increased significantly in the recent years. We have a limited understanding of the overall mechanisms that control the observed variation and activity of these microbial ecosystems. Our observations have contributed to the systematic characterization of the individual dynamics and population variation of the human microbiome. I will discuss contemporary topics in statistical analysis and machine learning related to microbiome research\, with a specific emphasis on probabilistic latent variable models in understanding the individual and dynamic variation across the landscape of microbiome composition. \n\n\n\nHost: Anders Andersson \n\n\n\nRead more about Leo Lahti´s research

SUMMARY:SciLifeLab The Svedberg seminar: Prof. Ehab Abouheif
DESCRIPTION:Ehab Abouheif\n\n\n\nDepartment of Biology\, McGill University\, Canada \n\n\n\nLINK TO SEMINAR \n\n\n\n Abouheif received a PhD in Biology from Duke University in 2002\, and from 2002 to 2004\, he completed his postdoctoral studies at the University of Chicago and at the University of California\, Berkeley. In 2004 Abouheif was appointed Assistant Professorship at McGill University as Canada Research Chair (tier 2) in Evolutionary Developmental Biology. Currently\, he is a James McGill Professor in the Department of Biology at McGill University. He is a pioneer of eco-evo-devo\, a field that integrates the concepts and technical tools of ecology\, evolutionary\, and developmental biology. Abouheif focuses on ant societies to understand the origins and evolution of complex biological systems. He served as founding President of the Pan-American Society for Evolutionary Developmental Biology and is currently Editor-in-Chief of JEZ-B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution\, one of the main journals in his field. \n\n\n\nDarwin’s invisible ink: The storage and release of ancestral genetic potential in complex biological systems\n\n\n\nAncestral and dormant genetic potentials exist in all animals\, as reflected by the sporadic appearance of ancestral traits in individuals that normally should not have them\, such as teeth in a chicken or hindlimbs in a whale. Such individuals are traditionally thought to be “freaks” that contribute little to the evolutionary process. Abouheif’s lab\, using supersoldier ants as their model\, has changed this traditional view by demonstrating that evolution can harness dormant genetic potentials after they have been released by certain environmental triggers. His lab also demonstrated that rudimentary organs\, like the human appendix\, are not functionless. Rather\, they can play key regulatory functions during development and store this ancestral genetic  potential over millions of years. These discoveries open up future possibilities for harnessing dormant genetic potentials to advance medicine\, biodiversity conservation\, and animal/plant breeding. \n\n\n\nHost: Arild Husby \n\n\n\nRead more about Ehab Abouheif´s research

SUMMARY:NGI and NBIS webinar on de novo sequencing and analysis
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to a webinar on de novo sequencing and analysis\, a service that the National Genomics Infrastructure (NGI) and National Bioinformatics Infrastructure Sweden (NBIS) offers to its users. De novo\, which translates to “starting from the beginning”\, refers to the process of sequencing a novel genome from an organism where no previous reference sequence is available. \n\n\n\nThe de novo analysis strategy is divided into separate stages\, starting with (i) sequencing\, (ii) assembly\, and finally (iii) annotation.  \n\n\n\nDuring the sequencing stage\, short and/or long DNA/RNA reads are produced using several sequencing technologies\, such as Illumina\, PacBio and Nanopore. The obtained DNA reads are subsequently assembled into longer sequences\, called contigs during the assembly stage. The gaps between contigs can be linked by scaffolding using long read data and chromosome contact maps obtained by Hi-C.Assembled genomes are then annotated\, allowing for the structure and the function of the assembled sequences to be inferred. This includes protein-coding genes\, but also other features such as non-coding genes and regulatory elements. This webinar will focus on what one needs to consider while planning a de novo project. We are also proud to have Alexander Suh (Lecturer\, University of East Anglia and Uppsala University) describing one of his many projects on how to solve sex-specific and tissue-specific genome differences of birds by using de novo tools facilitated by NGI and NBIS.  \n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n10:00De novo analysis that NGI can offer youOlga Vinnere Pettersson\, PhD\, Project coordinator NGI10:20PacBio/Nanopore in de novo realmIgnas Bunikis\, PhD\, Bioinformatician NGI10:35Using Hi-C methods to generate chromosome-scaled assembly scaffoldsRemi-Andre Olsen\, PhD\, Bioinformatician NGI10:50The assembly and annotation support available at the SciLifeLab bioinformatics platform NBISHenrik Lantz\, PhD\, Joint Head of Unit Support and Infrastructure NBIS11:05Diving into the depths of sex-specific and tissue-specific genome differences of birdsAlexander Suh\, PhD\, Lecturer\, University of East Anglia and Uppsala University11:30Q&A session

SUMMARY:Role of physiologically-based pharmacokinetics in regulatory submissions
DESCRIPTION:Fabienne Gaugaz Slides from the webinarDownload\n\n\n\nLuzon et al\, 2017Download\n\n\n\nAbstractPhysiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) is an approach that help predict the absorption\, distribution\, metabolism and excretion (ADME) properties of candidate drugs in animal/human and evaluate the effects of intrinsic (e.g. organ dysfunction\, age\, genetics) and extrinsic (e.g. diet\, smoking habit\, drug-drug interactions) factors\, alone or in combinations\, on drug exposure\, during drug discovery and development process. Currently\, different software (i.e. SimCYP\, PK-Sim\, GastroPlus etc) are available to perform the PBPK simulations\, and the simulations are often part of regulatory submissions of small molecules and biologic new drug candidates (CD). \n\n\n\nIf successful\, the simulations may complement or replace the experimental study and/or help to explain different findings\, scenarios related to estimation of exposure and effect of new CDs. Therefore\, the regulatory authorities i.e. EMA and FDA provided guidelines\, which described how to report PBPK models and simulations in a regulatory context.Dr Gaugaz in her presentation will discuss role of PBPK simulations from small molecules and biologic CDs in submissions\, from regulatory point of view. \n\n\n\nPresenterDr Fabienne GaugazPharmacokinetics Assessor\,Medical Products Agency (Läkemedelsverket)Dag Hammarskjölds Väg 42\,752 37 Uppsala \n\n\n\nBiographyDr Fabienne Gaugaz is pharmacokinetics assessor at the Swedish Medical Product Agency (Läkemedelsverket)\, which entails the evaluation of the pharmacologically-based pharmacokinetics (PBPK) simulations related to small molecules and biologic drug candidates. Dr Gaugaz previously worked at Bayer (Wuppertal\, Germany) as lab head of research pharmacokinetics. Fabienne made her postdoc project at Karolinska Institutet (KI) and Uppsala University (UU). Dr Gaugaz obtained her Ph.D. in 2013 in pharmaceutical biology at the Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences\, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zürich\, Switzerland and her M.Sc. in Pharmacy\, ETH\, Zürich\, Switzerland.
