SUMMARY:Preventive Medicine via Precision Nutrition
DESCRIPTION:The Preventive Medicine via Precision Nutrition Conference will take place at SciLifeLab in Stockholm on 12th March 2026. \n\n\n\n\n\nIt is widely known that different types of diet shape the composition of the human gut microbiome and that the gut microbiome composition plays a crucial role in several gastrointestinal diseases (i.e. colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel diseases). The goal of this event aims to bring together experts of complementary fields like food composition\, gut microbiome\, precision nutrition and precision health to both enhance and create new communication bridges across these disciplines and promote interdisciplinary collaborations to increase the molecular understanding of how food can be leveraged as a precise intervention on individual health. Thus\, it will contribute to envisioning a future where food can be employed as preventive medicine by tailoring specific food consumption based on the individual’s gut microbiome composition and molecular needs.Overall\, the participants will gain knowledge on the ongoing research to disentangle the complex intersection between food composition\, its impact on the gut microbiome composition and precision nutrition. \n\n\n\nWe look forward to welcoming you in March 2026! \n\n\n\nPreliminary Program\nTime08:30Coffee and registrationSession 1: Food composition and health effects09:00Event intro09:05Francisco VilaplanaKTH Royal Institute of Technology 09:35Rikard LandbergChalmers University10:05Stefania GiacomelloKTH Royal Institute of Technology & SciLifeLab10:35Coffee break & poster viewingSession 2: Microbiome and disease11:00 Georg ZellerLeiden University11:30 Cecilia WilliamsKTH Royal Institute of Technology12:00 Lunch & poster viewingSession 3: Microbiome and metabolism13:00Fredrik BäckhedGothenburg University & DTU13:30 Yolanda SanzSpanish National Research Council14:00 Robert BrummerÖrebro University14:30 Coffee break & poster viewingSession 4: Preventive Nutrition15:00 Sara Andersson and Grigorios PetrousisKarolinska Hospital15:30 Christopher GardnerStanford University16:00 Round table 16:30-18:00Mingle\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nParticipants\nKTH Royal Institute of Technology \n\n\n\nLeiden University \n\n\n\nGothenburg University \n\n\n\nStanford University \n\n\n\nThe Spanish National Research Council \n\n\n\nTechnical University of Denmark \n\n\n\nChalmers University \n\n\n\nKarolinska Hospital \n\n\n\nKarolinska Institutet \n\n\n\nÖrebro University \n\n\n\n\nConfirmed Speakers\nProf. Cecila Williams\, KTH \n\n\n\nProf. Fredrik Bäckhed\, GU & DTU \n\n\n\nProf. Robert Jan Brummer\, ORU \n\n\n\nProf. Rikard Landberg Chalmers  \n\n\n\nProf. Yolanda Sanz\, CSIC \n\n\n\nProf. Georg Zeller\, LUMC \n\n\n\nProf. Christopher Gardner\, Stanford \n\n\n\nProf. Francisco Vilaplana KTH \n\n\n\nAssoc.

SUMMARY:[The Svedberg seminar] - The evolution of new vertebrate cell types and organs
DESCRIPTION:Margarida Cardoso-Moreira \n\n\n\nPhD Group Leader of Evolutionary Developmental Biology lab at the Francis Crick Institute\, UK \n\n\n\nBio\n\n\n\nMargarida Cardoso Moreira leads the Evolutionary Developmental Biology lab at the Francis Crick Institute in London. Her lab focuses on understanding how new cells\, tissues\, and organs originate using pregnancy as a model. Margarida did her PhD research in Manyuan Long’s group at the University of Chicago. She then took a postdoctoral position in Andrew G. Clark’s group at Cornell University. While at Chicago and Cornell\, Margarida investigated the evolution of newly duplicated genes. Margarida then joined the group of Henrik Kaessmann (University of Lausanne and Heidelberg University)\, where she spearheaded a research program on the evolution of mammalian organs\, for which she received the Otto-Schmeil prize from the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and Humanities in 2020. \n\n\n\nThe evolution of new vertebrate cell types and organs\n\n\n\nHow do new cells\, new tissues\, and entire new organs arise during evolution? Our lab investigates these questions using an organ that has evolved independently many times and is remarkably diverse: the placenta. The placenta forms through the fusion of embryonic and maternal tissues to enable the transfer of nutrients\, waste\, and more during gestation. Placentas have evolved more than 100 times independently among vertebrates\, including once in mammals. Within a family of small live-bearing fishes known as Poeciliidae\, at least nine independent origins of the placenta have occurred. This makes them excellent models for studying how new organs emerge during evolution. We combined whole-genome sequencing\, single-cell RNA and ATAC sequencing\, and imaging to uncover the molecular\, cellular\, and developmental basis of five independent origins of a placenta in Poeciliids. We found that the evolution of a novel cell type unique to Poeciliids allowed this family to transition from egg-laying to live-bearing through egg retention. This cell type was subsequently and independently co-opted five times to form the placenta in five species. Across these independently evolved placentas\, we observe strong convergence at the molecular level\, with specific genes and pathways repeatedly recruited during placental evolution. Together\, our findings provide empirical support for a model in which cell-type innovation drives the emergence of new organs and demonstrate that major life history transitions can follow predictable developmental and molecular trajectories. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nHost: leif.andersson@imbim.uu.se UU

SUMMARY:CSI Seminar - Motivation: Finding it\, understanding it\, growing it
DESCRIPTION:Motivation can at first seem like something some people have and others don’t – but is this really true? How can we find motivation within ourselves and gain motivation through others? \n\n\n\nWe’ll look at how motivation can be influenced by a range of internal and external factors\, and discuss practical ways to self-reflect and implement strategies for resilience and persistence. Whether you’re a student\, researcher\, faculty member\, or simply interested in understanding more\, you are warmly invited to join this conversation. \n\n\n\nWe will begin with a ~ 20 min talk\, held in Solna and over zoom. Then proceed with a reflection and discussion held on-site. We encourage other sites to form watch parties\, by listening in together to the talk and then hold their own discussion afterwards. Hopefully seeding many local chapters of CSI. \n\n\n\nTo help facilitate discussion and reflection\, consider the following starter questions: \n\n\n\nAwareness: where do we experience rejection in our lives already? \n\n\n\nAnalysis: how well do I currently interact with rejection? \n\n\n\nAlternative: how could we relate to rejection in academia\, for ourselves and others? \n\n\n\nAction: how will knowledge of rejection in academia change my decisions going forward?

SUMMARY:PULSE Challenge: Brain delivery platform for large drug modalities
DESCRIPTION:Brain uptake of therapeutic modalities such as antibodies\, enzymes and other types of drug modalities is severely limited by their size due to the blood brain barrier (BBB). To address this issue\, we have developed the BrainTransporterTM (BT) technology to actively transport these molecules across the BBB using receptor-mediated transcytosis. Our technology is engineered using structural data as guidance to engage with a BBB receptor at an optimal site. \n\n\n\nHost: Per I ArvidssonModerator: Anna Ridderstad Wollberg \n\n\n\nThe seminar series PULSE Challenge is connected to the MSCA co-funded* postdoctoral program SciLifeLab PULSE\, that will train 48 future leaders in life sciences.

SUMMARY:Single-Cell Mapping Reveals Differentiation and Therapeutic Targets in Acute Leukemia
DESCRIPTION:Clinical Genomics Webinar Series\n\n\n\nClinical Genomics Lund is hosting this webinar as part of the Clinical Genomics Platform webinar series \n\n\n\nUnderstanding acute leukemia cellular heterogeneity and therapeutic vulnerabilities using single-cell technologies \n\n\n\n\nJoin us on Zoom\n\n\n\n\nAcute leukemia comprises genetically and biologically heterogeneous malignancies that disrupt normal hematopoiesis. While genomic and transcriptomic profiling has improved disease classification and risk stratification\, leukemia progression and treatment response are increasingly shaped by complex interactions within a dynamic cellular ecosystem. Despite advances in targeted therapies\, treatment resistance and relapse remain major challenges\, largely driven by leukemia stem cells that evade current approaches.  \n\n\n\nThis webinar will highlight how recent advances in single-cell sequencing and computational analysis enable high-resolution dissection of leukemic and normal hematopoietic cell populations\, revealing cellular heterogeneity\, differentiation trajectories\, and novel therapeutic vulnerabilities with the potential to improve patient outcomes. \n\n\n\nEveryone is welcome so feel free to spread the details with anyone who may be interested. Hope to see you there! \n\n\n\nHost: Tina Catela Ivkovic\, Head of Unit at Clinical Genomics Lund \n\n\n\nInvited speaker: Hanna Thorsson\, Lund University

SUMMARY:[The Svedberg seminar] - Super-resolution imaging of chromatin in health and disease
DESCRIPTION:Melike Lakadamyali \n\n\n\nProfessor University of Pennsylvania\, USA \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBio\n\n\n\nDr. Lakadamyali obtained her BS in Physics in 2001 from the University of Texas\, Austin and her PhD in Physics in 2006 from Harvard University. Dr. Lakadamyali started her independent group at ICFO-Institute of Photonic Sciences in Barcelona in 2010 and was awarded tenure in 2015. In 2017 she moved to the University of Pennsylvania´s Department of Physiology at the Perelman School of Medicine as an Assistant Professor\, was promoted to Associate Professor in 2020 and Full Professor in 2024. \n\n\n\nSuper-resolution imaging of chromatin in health and disease\n\n\n\nSuper-resolution microscopy has opened new possibilities for visualizing chromatin architecture in situ at nanoscale resolution. Leveraging quantitative super-resolution imaging\, we revealed the heterogeneous nature of nucleosome folding and demonstrated that chromatin structure at both nano- and meso-scales is highly plastic\, dynamically remodeling in response to chemical and mechanical cues in health and disease. By combining biologically interpretable feature extraction with machine learning\, we further showed that cells can be accurately classified into distinct states based solely on their multi-scale chromatin organization\, while also identifying the specific chromatin features that drive classification\, thus offering mechanistic insight into cell-state regulation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHost: Sebastian Deindl sebastian.deindl@icm.uu.se\, UU

SUMMARY:Agentic AI in the life sciences - toward trustworthy research environments
DESCRIPTION:Sebastian Lobentanzer  \n\n\n\nNBIS and SciLifeLab Data Centre arrange an open SciLifeLab AI Seminar Series aimed at knowledge-sharing about Artificial Intelligence and applications in the Life Science community. The seminar series is open to everyone. The seminar is run over Zoom on the third Friday of the month during academic terms\, typically between 10 and 11 am\, with approx. 45 min presentation and 15 min discussion. \n\n\n\nWhen: February 13\, 10:00-11:00  \n\n\n\nWhere:  Zoom http://meet.nbis.se/ainw \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Sebastian Lobentanzer (Computational Biology at Helmholtz Center Munich). The speaker is a Principal Investigator at the Institute of Computational Biology at Helmholtz Center Munich since 2025\, and in affiliation with the Open Targets group at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) since 2024. Sebasitian also serves as the head of Computational Biology at the German Center for Diabetes Research.  \n\n\n\nRead more about the speaker here . \n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\nAgentic AI systems promise to improve the accessibility and efficiency of biomedical research\, yet generic large language model (LLM)–based agents often lack the reliability\, transparency\, and reproducibility required for scientific use. We present BioChatter\, a modular\, ontology-grounded agentic AI framework designed as the basis for an Integrated Research Environment (IRE) for biomedicine. BioChatter orchestrates LLMs\, biomedical knowledge representations\, and domain-specific tools within transparent and auditable workflows\, enabling domain-aware reasoning and traceable data flows from raw data to scientific conclusions. \n\n\n\nFollowing a benchmark-first development paradigm\, BioChatter supports systematic evaluation of agent behavior\, reasoning strategies\, and tool use prior to deployment. Using extensible interfaces such as the Model Context Protocol\, the framework enables interoperable\, community-driven extension while maintaining clear separation between reasoning\, knowledge\, and execution layers. By moving beyond chatbot-style interactions toward reproducible research workflows\, BioChatter demonstrates how agentic AI can evolve from opaque assistants into trustworthy research partners for the life sciences. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTo stay updated\, you can join our email list by contacting Olga Dethlefsen (olga.dethlefsen@dbb.su.se) or Bengt Sennblad (bengt.sennblad@scilifelab.se). \n\n\n\nPresentation Slides \n\n\n\nPowered By EmbedPress \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nJoin the webinar  \n\n\n\n\nJoin event

SUMMARY:PULSE Challenge: The Discovery of Seqitope and Opti-mAb Technologies
DESCRIPTION:The Seqitope® and Opti-Mab® technologies originated from projects together with SciLifeLab DDD.  Seqitope® is a high-resolution epitope mapping platform that combines large-scale wet-lab screening with advanced bioinformatics. By utilizing phage display of libraries containing millions of mutated antigen variants\, it goes far beyond classical alanine scanning. The platform uses next-generation sequencing to generate millions of reads per antibody\, providing exceptional resolution. While initially mapping 30 antibodies manually\, Seqitope® is now automation-compatible\, scaling to hundreds of antibodies simultaneously. Validated on targets like CD19 and IL8\, it generates data sets ideal for machine learning in antibody discovery. \n\n\n\nAdditionally\, we introduce Opti-mAb®\, engineered single-chain variable fragments (scFvs) designed to solve common issues like aggregation\, low expression\, and instability. These novel formats enhance therapeutic development for bispecific antibodies and cell-based therapies. Together\, Seqitope® and Opti-mAb® represent a significant leap in the scalability and precision of antibody engineering. \n\n\n\nHost: Kristian SandbergModerator: Anna Ridderstad Wollberg \n\n\n\nThe seminar series PULSE Challenge is connected to the MSCA co-funded* postdoctoral program SciLifeLab PULSE\, that will train 48 future leaders in life sciences. The program focuses on innovative\, fundamental and translational research carried out in supportive and diverse academic and industrial environments\, preparing postdocs with necessary skills for long-term career sustainability. Click HERE to find out more about SciLifeLab PULSE \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn-line event via Zoom \n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresenters: Dr. Daniel Johansson\, PhD and CSO at AAX Biotech \n\n\n\nBiography:Dr. Daniel Johansson\, Chief Scientific Officer at AAX Biotech\, where he has been actively involved for the past three years in developing novel antibody technologies. He earned his Ph.D. in molecular immunology from the Karolinska Institute\, with a focus on antibody discovery and engineering. With over 20 years of experience across academia and the biotech industry\, he co-founded AAX Biotech to translate solutions developed during a drug discovery and development (DDD) project into broadly applicable technologies. These efforts resulted in two proprietary platforms: Seqitope\, enabling high resolution\, high throughput epitope mapping\, and Opti-mAb\, facilitating high quality production of scFvs in CAR-T and bispecific antibodies—tools now positioned to support researchers and companies worldwide. \n\n\n\nDr. Mats AA Persson\, PhD\, KI and co-founder of AAX Biotech \n\n\n\nBiography:Dr Mats Persson has worked with molecular biology tools at Karolinska Institutet to generate\, characterize and engineer human monoclonal antibodies since a post doc period at Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla\, USA\, in the late 1980-ies. In particular\, he has been focusing on applying the techniques for studying anti-viral antibodies. This led him to co-found Molecules of Man AB in 2005\, a start-up devoted to commercialize antibodies to hepatitis C virus (HCV) for clinical use. However\, those antibodies were overtaken by highly efficient small molecule drugs (inhibiting the virus’s own enzymes)\, and thus did not reach the market. Undeterred\, he suggested a new infectious target for development of human antibodies at DDD. During this project\, technical hurdles were encountered that gave rise to novel solutions. And by now\, human monoclonal antibodies had revolutionized the pharma industry\, with biopharma being the real driver for hundreds if not thousands of novel drugs. Indeed\, it was not farfetched that solutions to problems shared by scores of biopharma projects could be worthwhile to explore commercially: AAX Biotech was born and incorporated for this purpose.

SUMMARY:Public hosting of Shiny apps: hands-on workshop
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is part of the SBDI Days 2026. In order to take part\, you need to register for the main event and select this workshop. \n\n\n\nTitle: Public hosting of Shiny apps: hands-on workshop. \n\n\n\nOrganizer: SciLifeLab Data Centre (AI Data Engineers from the SciLifeLab Serve team). \n\n\n\nWhere and when: February 10\, 2026 at 16:00-17:30 at the Museum of Natural History in Stockholm. Address: Frescativägen 40\, 114 18 Stockholm. \n\n\n\nAbstract: Researchers often create R Shiny applications as part of their projects and want to publish them as research output – as analysis tools with a graphical interface\, as supplementary materials for publications\, in order to make annotation easier\, etc. In order to make Shiny apps available to the collaborators or general public\, they need to be hosted somewhere and have a URL. We will start this workshop by giving an overview of what it means to create and publish Shiny apps as researcher in terms of institutional and funder requirements. We will then take a look at different hosting options for Shiny apps. During the hands-on part\, we will focus on packaging Shiny apps for hosting as Docker images. Together with the participants\, we will step-by-step package and publish an example Shiny app or the participants’ own Shiny app. If you are a researcher with an existing Shiny app you’d like to host\, or if you plan to build a Shiny app in the future\, this workshop is for you. If you already have a Shiny app you would like to host\, bring it\, and we will help you with it. \n\n\n\nExpected outcomes: After this workshop\, the participants will both have an understanding of working with Shiny apps within research projects in a Swedish university context and have practical knowledge about public hosting of Shiny apps. \n\n\n\nRegister to join the event\n\n\n\nFor questions about the events please contact the organizing team by emailing  serve@scilifelab.se  \n\n\n\nContact information: serve@scilifelab.se

SUMMARY:Building and sharing AI applications within ecology and biodiversity
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is part of the SBDI Days 2026. In order to take part\, you need to register for the main event and select this workshop. \n\n\n\nTitle: Building and sharing AI applications within ecology and biodiversity. \n\n\n\nOrganizer: SciLifeLab Data Centre (AI Data Engineers from the SciLifeLab Serve team). \n\n\n\nWhere and when: February 10\, 2026 at 16:00-17:30 at the Museum of Natural History in Stockholm. Address: Frescativägen 40\, 114 18 Stockholm. \n\n\n\nAbstract: As more researchers in ecology and biodiversity build machine learning models\, it is important to find ways to make these models useful for the researcher community or general public. One way to do this is to share the models as web applications with an easy-to-use interface. Users of the models can then adjust parameters or submit their own input and see the result generated by the underlying model. This tutorial is aimed at PhDs and researchers working within ecology and biodiversity who work with machine learning models but do not have the skills to build applications for the web. During the tutorial we will start from a trained model and demonstrate step by step how you can create a graphical user interface for your application\, prepare it for deployment\, and make it available on the web with a URL. We will demonstrate the use of specific tools which make this process easy and doable in under an hour. \n\n\n\nExpected outcomes: Participants will have an overview of various open-source tools for creating applications out of machine learning models. Furthermore\, they will have practices creating an application using one such tool or perhaps already have a demo of an application with their own model. Participants will have knowledge about options for hosting their applications and making them available to the general public or to colleagues. \n\n\n\nRegister to join the event\n\n\n\nFor questions about the events please contact the organizing team by emailing  serve@scilifelab.se  \n\n\n\nContact information: serve@scilifelab.se

SUMMARY:PULSE Challenge: From Serendipity to Design Principles Molecular Glues as a Prelude to RIPTACs
DESCRIPTION:Traditionally viewed as inhibitors\, small molecules have evolved through the discovery of molecular glues—compounds that create function by stabilizing protein-protein interactions. This shift from serendipitous discovery to “induced proximity” has expanded the druggable proteome and redefined how we control cellular behavior. \n\n\n\nThis talk traces the evolution of molecular glues\, framing them as versatile proximity-inducing agents rather than just degradation tools. I emphasize their impact on our understanding of protein surfaces and cellular organization. The second half introduces Regulated Induced Proximity Targeting Chimeras (RIPTACs). I highlight HLD-0915\, a novel RIPTAC targeting prostate cancer. In preclinical models\, HLD-0915 demonstrated tumor regression and a favorable therapeutic index\, even in drug-resistant cases. Finally\, I present Phase 1 data from mCRPC patients\, showing strong tolerability and encouraging anti-tumor activity in heavily pretreated populations. \n\n\n\nHost: Vasanthanathan PoongavanamModerator: Per Arvidsson \n\n\n\nThe seminar series PULSE Challenge is connected to the MSCA co-funded* postdoctoral program SciLifeLab PULSE\, that will train 48 future leaders in life sciences.
