SUMMARY:Generation of context-specific genome-scale metabolic models using single-cell RNA-Seq data
DESCRIPTION:Johan Gustafsson\, Postdoc researcher\, Broad Institute\, USA \n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\nThe metabolic networks in cells vary across tissues and cell types\, and to accurately model the metabolism of cells\, the full generic metabolic network defined in the genome needs to be reduced to a context-specific network representing the network expressed specifically in the cells of interest. Single-cell RNA-Seq promises to provide the information needed for such a reduction\, but noise in the form of data sparsity is a challenge. Here\, we present methods to handle data sparsity and estimate the uncertainty of modeling results. \n\n\n\nBiography \n\n\n\nJohan is an expert in modeling cancer metabolism and analyzing single-cell RNA/DNA sequencing data\, aiming to uncover vulnerabilities in cancer. With a background in both computer science and biochemistry\, Johan has completed a PhD in metabolic modeling at Chalmers University of Technology and now works as a postdoc in the Getz lab at the Broad Institute\, focusing on CLL/Richter’s syndrome and hypoxia in solid tumors. \n\n\n\nHost: Rasool Saghaleyni\, NBIS Chalmers University\, Gothenburg (rasool.saghaleyni@scilifelab.se) \n\n\n\nDate: October 17\, 13:00 – 14:15 CET online on zoom \n\n\n\nBroadcast link (live event): link\, pass:spd996The talk will also be available afterwards on the SciLifeLab YouTube channel.More information about the Oimcs Integration and Systems Biology Workshop here.

SUMMARY:Conformal prediction enables disease course prediction and allows individualized diagnostic uncertainty in multiple sclerosis
DESCRIPTION:Accurate assessment of progression and disease course in multiple sclerosis (MS) is vital for timely and appropriate clinical intervention. The transition from relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) to secondary progressive MS (SPMS) is gradual and diagnosed retrospectively with a typical delay of three years. To address this diagnostic delay\, we developed a predictive model that is able to distinguish between RRMS and SPMS with high accuracy\, trained on data from electronic health records collected at routine hospital visits obtained from the Swedish MS Registry containing 22\,748 patients with 197\,227 hospital visits. To be useful within a clinical setting\, we applied conformal prediction to deliver valid measures of uncertainty in predictions at the level of the individual patient. We showed that the model was theoretically and empirically valid\, having the highest efficiency at a 92% confidence level\, and demonstrated on an external test set that it enables effective prediction of the clinical course of a patient with individual confidence measures. We applied the model to a set of patients who transitioned from RRMS to SPMS during the cohort timeframe and showed that we can accurately predict when patients transition from RRMS to SPMS. We also identified new patients who\, with high probability\, are in the transition phase from RRMS to SPMS but have not yet received a clinical diagnosis. We conclude that our methodology can assist in monitoring MS disease progression and proactively identify patients undergoing transition to SPMS. An anonymized\, publically accessible version of the model is available at https://msp-tracker.serve.scilifelab.se/. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nA preprint is available here: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.03.01.24303566v1  \n\n\n\nKim Kultima\, Uppsala University \n\n\n\nNBIS arranges an open AI and IO Seminar Series aimed at knowledge-sharing about Artificial Intelligence and Integrative Omics (AI & IO) analysis 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 long presentation and 15 min discussion.

SUMMARY:Drips and SliPS and Retirees\, Oh My!
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Jonathan Wilson Yewdell\n\n\n\nChief\, Cellular Biology Section Laboratory of Viral DiseasesNational Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)National Institute of Health (NIH)Bethesda\, MD\, USA \n\n\n\nBiography: \n\n\n\nJon Yewdell graduated from Princeton University in 1975 with an AB in biochemistry and received MD and immunology PhD degrees from the University of Pennsylvania in 1981.  After a post-doctoral fellowship at Imperial College in London with David Lane\, he spent 4 years as an Assistant Professor at the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia.  In 1987 he joined NIAID.  His lab uses influenza A\, SARS-CoV2\, vaccinia and other viruses to explore basic elements of cell biology\, virology\, and immunology\, and has contributed to understanding how peptides are generated for CD8+ T cell immunosurveillance. \n\n\n\n\nTitle: Drips and SliPS and Retirees\, Oh My! \n\n\n\n\nAbstract for the talk: \n\n\n\nMHC class I molecules present short peptides derived from biosynthesized proteins\, enabling CD8+ T cell immunosurveillance of tumors\, viruses and intracellular microbes.  Many cellular peptides\, and likely nearly all viral peptides\, derive from rapidly degraded proteins\, which consist of defective ribosomal products (DRiPs) and short-lived proteins (SLiPs).  I will describe the nature of a number of influenza virus DRiPs and how ribosome profiling facilitates the identification of peptides derived from non-canonically translated cellular DRiPs.  I will also discuss how cells with ribosomes lacking individual protein subunits demonstrate either enhanced or decreased peptide generation in a subunit-specific manner and how this can be exploited by cancer cells to escape immunosurveillance.  I will present a model to explain how peptide generation avoids the law of mass action to generate a highly diverse peptide repertoire (immunopeptidome) that enables pathogen and tumor recognition.  This talk will illustrate how\, in over 4 decades of research\, cell biology\, virology\, and immunology can be combined to dissect a medically important immune effector mechanism. \n\n\n\nHost: Adnane Achour\, adnane.achour@scilifelab.se

SUMMARY:Lund: Building and sharing machine learning demo applications within life sciences
DESCRIPTION:This event is open to everyone at Lund University. It consists of a workshop followed by a free lunch for participants. During the lunch the participants will have an opportunity to informally chat with AI data engineers from the SciLifeLab Data Centre to discuss the needs for services and research infrastructure in life science research using machine learning methods. \n\n\n\nTitle: Building and sharing machine learning demo applications within life sciences: a practical tutorial. \n\n\n\nOrganizer: AI Data Engineers from the SciLifeLab Serve team. \n\n\n\nWhere and when: October 24\, 2024 at 10:00-13:00 at room Rådslaget\, BMC Hus E (Sölvegatan 19\, 223 62 Lund) \n\n\n\nAgenda:10:00-12:00: Workshop12:00-13:00: Lunch \n\n\n\nAbstract: It is becoming increasingly popular to share machine learning models with the community as web applications with an easy-to-use interface. Users can then adjust parameters or submit their own input and see the predictions generated by the underlying model. This tutorial is aimed at researchers working within life sciences who work with machine learning models but do not have the skills to build applications for 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\nThe workshop will last for 2 hours with a break in the middle. We have room to accept 35 participants\, on the first come first served basis. Those registered after that will be placed on the waiting list. \n\n\n\nAfter the workshop all participants are invited for lunch. \n\n\n\nSince there is a limited number of spots in this workshop please sign up only if you intend to attend. \n\n\n\nRegister to join the event\n\n\n\nMore about the event series: \n\n\n\nTools for AI/ML research in life sciences is an event series by the SciLifeLab Data Centre aimed at life science researchers who use machine learning methods in their work. The goal of the events in this series is to provide introductions to different tools for ML research but also to foster discussions around our practices and how they can be improved. The events takes place virtually (over Zoom) and are open to researchers in Sweden and beyond. Each event is scheduled for 60 minutes\, consisting of a talk and an extended discussion.

SUMMARY:Precision Omics Initiative Sweden (PROMISE) Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Sweden is uniquely positioned to advance medical research and implement precision medicine on a national scale\, benefiting its entire population. Integration of cutting-edge biomedical research technologies with Sweden’s uniform healthcare system has the potential to position our country as a global frontrunner\, leading the development of precision medicine in this new technological era. However\, data fragmentation and data isolation currently hinder the Swedish ability to fully capitalize on its potential and maximize the use of already available infrastructure and prior investments.  \n\n\n\nPrecision Omics Initiative Sweden (PROMISE)  is a new transformative initiative that will be centered around SciLifeLab and Genomic Medicine Sweden (GMS) to completely integrate medical research with the healthcare system in Sweden. \n\n\n\nPROMISE will have three major focus areas: 1) Generate extensive multi-omics data from both patients and the general population in Sweden\, 2) Develop a strong and effective infrastructure to integrate healthcare generated multi-omics data for research applications\, improve data sharing and data accessibility across Sweden\, 3) Develop legal and regulatory frameworks for better alignment with modern capabilities\, for maximum utilization of Sweden’s great potential. \n\n\n\nRegister for the PROMISE symposium\, October 28-29 2024\, to contribute to further developing the scientific foundation and design of this transformative initiative.  \n\n\n\nregistration\n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\nPROMISE Symposium Uppsala October 28-29_FINALDownload\n\n\n\nOrganizing committee  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nAnna Clareborn\n\n\n\nSanna Gudmundsson\n\n\n\nBo Jacobsson\n\n\n\nÅsa Johansson\n\n\n\nAnders Kämpe\n\n\n\nTuuli Lappalainen\n\n\n\nKerstin Lindblad-Toh\n\n\n\nAnna Lindstrand\n\n\n\nBengt Persson\n\n\n\nRichard Rosenquist Brandell\n\n\n\nTobias Sjöblom\n\n\n\nColum Walsh

SUMMARY:I Forskningens Framkant – Fortbildning för Gymnasielärare
DESCRIPTION:Eventet är inställt \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMicrobes are a girl’s best friend: en introduktion till människans mikrobiota och hur den kan påverka vår reproduktiv hälsa\n\nLuisa Hughert \n\n\nAlla ytor i och på människokroppen är täckta i mikrober. Deras gemensamma arvsmassa är mer än hundra gånger större än människans och de har därför tillgång till betydligt flera metabola vägar. I den här föreläsningen undersöker vi hur våra könshormoner samspelar med våra mikrober\, och vilket nytta eller skada de kan göra. \n\n\n\n\n\nFramtidens målsökande läkemedel\n\n \n\n\nStefan Ståhl \n\n\nIntensiv forskning pågår för att utveckla läkemedel som kan målsöka sjuk vävnad\, t.ex. cancertumörer. Detta möjliggör att man kan koppla “tumördödande” substanser till målsökaren\, för att minska risk för biverkningar. Utmaningen är dock att måltavlan\, den s.k. biomarkören\, för målsökaren inte bara finns på tumören\, utan även i frisk vävnad. Därför eftersträvar man idag att utveckla målsökare som aktiverar sin “tumördödande” substans enbart i närhet av cancertumören. \n\n\n\n\n\nEn nål i en höstack- att kartlägga immunceller i tumörer\n\nCamilla Engblom \n\n\n\n\n\nGenteknisk modifiering av alger och växter för att förbättra fotosyntes\n\nPaul Hudson \n\n\n\n\n\nPlats: SciLifeLab\, Tomtebodavägen 23\, SolnaKarta: Google Maps \n\n\n\nVälkommen med din anmälan! \n\n\n\nAnmälan\n\n\n\nOrganiseras av SciLifeLab tillsammans med Vetenskapens Hus.

SUMMARY:[The Svedberg seminar] - Talking to cells: biomolecular ultrasound to image and control cells deep inside the body
DESCRIPTION:Mikhail G. ShapiroProfessorCalifornia Institute of Technology\, USA \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBio\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMikhail Shapiro is the Max Delbrück Professor of Chemical Engineering and Medical Engineering\, an HHMI Investigator\, and Director of the Center for Molecular and Cellular Medicine at Caltech. The Shapiro laboratory develops biomolecular technologies allowing cells to be imaged and controlled inside the body using noninvasive methods such as ultrasound. Mikhail received his PhD in Biological Engineering from MIT and his BSc in Neuroscience from Brown. He conducted post-doctoral research at the University of Chicago and UC Berkeley. During the 2024-5 academic year\, Mikhail is conducting research at the Physics for Medicine Institute in Paris and ESPCI as a Fulbright-Tocqueville Distinguished Chair. \n\n\n\nMikhail’s awards include the NIH Pioneer Award\, the Vilcek Prize for Creative Promise\, the Camille Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award and the Carl Hellmuth Hertz Ultrasonics Award. Mikhail is an inducted Fellow of the World Molecular Imaging Society. Alongside academic research\, Mikhail has been involved as a founder and adviser to several biotechnology and medical device startups.   \n\n\n\nTalking to cells: biomolecular ultrasound to image and control cells deep inside the body\n\n\n\nStudying biological function in intact organisms and developing targeted cellular therapies requires methods to image and control the function of specific cells deep inside the body. Fluorescent proteins and optogenetics serve this purpose in small\, translucent specimens\, but are limited by the poor penetration of light into deeper tissues. In contrast\, most non-invasive techniques such as ultrasound and magnetic resonance – while based on energy forms that penetrate tissue – are not effectively coupled to cellular function. In this talk\, I will describe our work to bridge this gap by developing biomolecular reporters and actuators for ultrasound based on gas vesicles – a unique class of air-filled protein nanostructures derived from buoyant photosynthetic microbes. By scattering sound waves\, gas vesicles enable noninvasive imaging of tumors\, immune cells\, gut microbes and cell-based diagnostics and therapies. In addition\, they serve as receivers of acoustic radiation force or seeds of localized bubble cavitation\, enabling acoustic remote control. \n\n\n\nMore information about the Shapiro Lab can be found online at shapirolab.caltech.edu. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHost: Maria Tenje\, UU maria.tenje@angstrom.uu.se

SUMMARY:Strengths and challenges of diversity: Correlative analysis of multimodal image data
DESCRIPTION:Nataša Sladoje\, Uppsala University \n\n\n\nNBIS arranges an open AI and IO Seminar Series aimed at knowledge-sharing about Artificial Intelligence and Integrative Omics (AI & IO) analysis 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\nAbstract \n\n\n\nThe MIDA (Methods for Image Data Analysis) group\, at Dept of Information Technology\, Uppsala University\, focuses on development of methods which address challenges of biomedical visual data analysis\, while also being broadly applicable to other types of images. I will give a short overview of our different research projects and collaborative initiatives\, and will then focus on our experiences and results in multimodal (bio)image analysis.  \n\n\n\nMultimodal imaging gives an opportunity to collect diverse and complementary information about a specimen\, enabling a deeper understanding of complex systems and phenomena. This advantage comes at the cost of a typically very demanding and challenging data analysis. Successful correlative analysis of the collected data requires accurate automated alignment of multimodal images and efficient information fusion to maximize the gain from the available heterogeneous and complementary content. I will present our results in this context and will discuss our experiences gained in method development and their application.

SUMMARY:When viral RNA met the cell: a story of host-virus interactions
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Professor Alfredo Castello \n\n\n\nBiography\n\n\n\nAlfredo is a biologist by training and holds a PhD in Molecular Biology from the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. He completed his postdoctoral training at the EMBL in Heidelberg\, where later he became a staff scientist. In 2014\, he was recruited as a Principal Investigator in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Oxford. Later\, in 2020\, he joined the MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research (CVR) as a Senior Lecturer and since 2022\, he became Professor in Systems Virology at the same institution. In 2021\, Dr. Castello was awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant. Additionally\, he has received funding from several prestigious agencies in the UK and the EU\, including the Wellcome Trust\, the Medical Research Council (both a Career Development Award and Research grant)\, and Horizon Europe. As a highlight of his work\, he set a fundamental stepstone towards the elucidation of the cellular RNA-binding proteome\, which has opened many new avenues of research in the RNA community. He recently applied his methodology to virus infection\, discovering a new universe of host-virus interactions controlling infection. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract\n\n\n\nRNA is a central molecule in RNA virus biology acting not only as a messenger RNA\, but also for storage of the genetic information as a genome. Over the last two decades it has become apparent that viral RNA is a hub for key host-virus interactions. For example\, viral genomes are too restricted in size to encode many of the molecular machineries required to metabolise the viral RNA. Just to provide some perspective\, a typical RNA virus would encode ~10 proteins in average\, while the ribosome\, the machinery required for protein synthesis\, is composed by over 80 proteins and 3 ribosomal (r)RNAs. The lack of these critical cellular machineries makes viruses reliant on host resources\, stressing the importance of cellular RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) contributing to the metabolism of viral RNAs. The cell also possess an arsenal of RBPs with the role of sensing viral RNAs and triggering the antiviral response. Unfortunately\, the methods to study these host-virus interactions globally and with molecular details have only started to emerge. My talk will elaborate in the application of these methodologies while exploring two research lines derived from our research: i) why cellular mRNAs are often degraded as a consequence of infection and ii) why a subset of nuclear RBPs travel to the cytosol upon infection with cytoplasmic viruses. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHost: Eduardo Sagredo Campos

SUMMARY:[The Svedberg seminar] - Diversity of left-right asymmetry among animals
DESCRIPTION:Hiroshi HamadaProfessorNational Center for Biological Sciences\, Ashoka University\, India \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBio\n\n\n\nProfessor Hiroshi Hamada is a visiting professor at National Center for Biological Sciences in Ashoka University\, India. Professor Hamada received his M.D from Okayama University in 1975 and his PhD from the same university in 1979. Since then he has worked at several prestigious institutions such as NIH and RIKEN. He has been an associate editor and part of the editorial board on a number of journals within the medical field. \n\n\n\nDiversity of left-right asymmetry among animals\n\n\n\nMost of animals exhibit left-right (L-R) asymmetries in internal and/or superficial organs\, but they employ different mechanisms for L-R asymmetry\, especially for symmetry breaking. Many vertebrates including fish\, amphibians and mammals\, use motile cilia to generate unidirectional fluid flow at the left-right organizer\, for symmetry breaking. Birds and reptiles\, however\, break L-R symmetry without motile cilia\, but its mechanism remains unknown. Invertebrates such as insects and snails employ a variety of different mechanisms. We studied the genetic pathway that establishes L-R asymmetry in the mouse\, but we are now investigating how chick embryos establish molecular L-R asymmetry without cilia. Also\, we have started to investigate how snail embryos establish L-R asymmetric gene expression. I would like to introduce our current attempts with chick and snail embryos. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHost: Gonzalo Sanchez\, UU gonzalo.sanchez@mcb.uu.se
