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

SUMMARY:Integrative Modeling of Glycoproteins
DESCRIPTION:Spotlight Seminar series welcomes Dr. Mateusz Sikora\, Head of the Dioscuri Centre for Modelling of Posttranslational Modifications\, Jagiellonian University\, Krakow\, Poland &  Max Planck Institute of Biophysics in Germany  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBiography\n\n\n\nDr. Mateusz Sikora is an expert in biophysics and computational biology. He currently leads the Dioscuri Centre for Modelling of Posttranslational Modifications at Jagiellonian University\, Kraków\, Poland\, co-affiliated at the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics in Frankfurt\, Germany. His research focuses on the role of posttranslational modifications (PTMs) in protein-protein interactions\, using molecular dynamics simulations to study inherently flexible biological systems. \n\n\n\nDr. Sikora obtained his Ph.D. in Biophysics from the Institute of Physics\, Polish Academy of Sciences* in 2012\, graduating summa cum laude\, with Prof Marek Cieplak as a supervisor. His doctoral work on biomolecular dynamics and coarse-grained modeling laid the foundation for his future research into protein flexibility and interaction. He also holds an M.S. in Biophysics from Jagiellonian University. \n\n\n\nHis postdoctoral career includes notable fellowships\, including the FWF Schrödinger Fellowship (2018–2020) at the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics in Frankfurt am Main and University of Vienna\, where he worked with Gerhard Hummer and Christoph Dellago unraveling dynamic behaviour of large protein complexes\, and the EMBO Fellowship (2012–2017) at the Institute of Science and Technology (IST) in Austria with Carl Philipp Heisenberg\, where he applied cell and molecular biology experiments to understand cell-cell contact formation in zebrafish.  \n\n\n\nDr. Sikora’s work is at the intersection of computational biophysics\, structural biology\, and systems biology\, with a particular emphasis on understanding how posttranslational modifications affect the structure and function of proteins. \n\n\n\nHe has authored over 30 peer-reviewed publications (including 1st author Science\, and corresponding author Cell) and made significant contributions to the study of SARS-CoV-2\, including computational models of viral spike proteins and their interactions with host cells\, as well as new methods to study the effects of glycans on proteins. His work has been widely recognized\, with his research featured in prominent media outlets such as Science\, The New York Times\, and National Geographic. \n\n\n\nDr. Sikora has received numerous grants and awards\, including the joint Max Planck and Polish National Science Centre Dioscuri grant. He is also involved in translational research\, with patents related to posttranslational modifications for vaccine development and medical applications. \n\n\n\nWith an h-index of 17 and over 1\,700 citations\, Dr. Sikora is recognized as a leading researcher in his field\, combining advanced computational methods with experimental biology to explore critical biological processes at the molecular level. \n\n\n\nAbstract\n\n\n\nGlycans\, complex sugars covalently attached to proteins\, play crucial roles in protein stability and function\, participate in “self” recognition\, and modulate protein-protein interactions. Unlike proteins\, glycans typically do not form secondary structures and remain highly mobile\, posing challenges for traditional structural biology techniques. This high mobility\, coupled with glycan heterogeneity\, complicates the elucidation of complete glycoprotein structures and hinders research on the role of glycans in protein function. Although computer simulations can help address these challenges\, they often require millions of hours on specialized supercomputers\, highlighting the need for approximate methods that can be integrated into protein-solving pipelines. \n\n\n\nTo overcome these obstacles\, we developed a simplified\, open-source method for rapidly predicting the span and shape of glycans with minimal computing power. Using this approach\, we can accurately predict SARS-CoV-2 spike protein epitopes that are not shielded by glycans\, as well as assess the impact of glycans on protein flexibility. We also demonstrate that this method can be integrated with structural biology methods and glycoproteomics pipelines\, offering a comprehensive tool for glycoprotein analysis. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHost: Piotr Draczkowski piotr.draczkowski@scilifelab.se

SUMMARY:Cancelled: My health\, my data - Privacy-preserving AI in systems medicine
DESCRIPTION:Dec 19:This event is unfortunately cancelled. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nProf. Jan Baumbach\, Computational Systems Biology\, University of Hamburg \n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\nEuropean Health Data Spaces\, national digital health records archives and similar initiatives aim to provide a mixture of legal and technical frameworks to make privacy-sensitive medical data available for data mining. The ultimate goal is to access the yet behind legal barriers hidden healthcare data treasure in order to train prognostic models for personalized medicine – from disease management to individualized drug repurposing prediction. The biggest road block is the GDPR. In the talk\, we will discuss federated learning technology that – coupled to other privacy-enhancing technologies – allows for a secure multi-center data mining collaboration. Specifically\, we will demonstrate that it does provide as accurate results as centralized solutions. We will discuss concrete applications for multi-centric genome-wide association studies\, for meta-genomics\, transcriptomics and proteomics analysis including batch effect correction\, and for survival time analysis. One applications involved >1\,000 hospitals in North America\, another one involves >100\,000 European screening participants. Finally\, we discuss the limitations and future prospects of federated learning in biomedicine and healthcare data mining.

Furthermore\, once coupled to palaeogenomic data\, such datasets can also even reveal the order in which such variants arose\, shedding further insights into the process itself. However\, while there is no doubt that we have learnt much about domestication in general\, and indeed for most domestic species we can clearly document the genetic basis of why the end product differs from the start\, I argue that there may be certain processes that were involved that have been largely overlooked\, in particular related to the so-called hologenome. \n\n\n\nBiography: \n\n\n\nTom Gilbert is Professor of Palaeogenomics at the University of Copenhagen\, Professor II at NTNU University Museum\, and Director of the DNRF Center for Evolutionary Hologenomics. He holds a PhD in the study of ancient DNA from the University of Oxford\, and has been active in both trying to develop methods to both expand the potential of ancient DNA to our understanding of the past\, as well as more recently leading research aimed at revisiting our understanding of ecological and evolutionary processes using hologenomic techniques – ie the integrative approach of combining host genomes with those of their microbiome. \n\n\n\n\nKees Van Oers – The epigenetics of Animal Personality\nNetherlands Institute of Ecology/ Wageningen University\, The Netherlands \n\n\n\nEpigenetic mechanisms are those molecular mechanisms that affect gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. The value of epigenetic mechanisms is increasingly recognized\, also in relation to questions in ecology and evolution. However\, epigenetic research related to behavioural variation in the natural habitat is still in its infancy. The flexible nature of epigenetic marks opens the possibility that such changes are adaptive\, while at the same time may simply be the consequence of environmental variation. Hence\, changes in epigenetic marks can function as switches in order to help an organism develop\, as signals of aging via accumulation of methylation over time\, but they also may aid organisms to cope with changing circumstances throughout their lifetime. In this presentation\, I use data of our great tit system to show examples of how tissue and cell-specific epigenetic patterns\, mainly focusing on DNA methylation\, may affect behavioral phenotypes such as exploratory behavior and reversal learning performance. I discuss what the role is of epigenetic mechanisms for behavioral adaptation to changing environments. \n\n\n\nBiography: \n\n\n\nKees van Oers is an evolutionary behavioural ecologist. He currently holds a chair in Animal Personality at Wageningen University and is senior scientist at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW). His research focuses on explaining the causes and consequences of individual variation in animal behaviour\, mainly cognitive and animal personality traits. He does this from an ecological and evolutionary point of view\, at the crossroads between behavioural ecology and behaviour genetics. His goal is to find answers to fundamental and strategic questions related to individual responses to changing environments. This is relevant since the world and therefore the environment is constantly changing partly due to human influences affecting biodiversity at all functional levels. \n\n\n\n\nSusan Johnston – The causes and consequences of sex differences in recombination rates.\nInstitute of Ecology and Evolution\, School of Biology\, The University of Edinburgh\, UK \n\n\n\nThe rate of meiotic recombination often shows large differences between the sexes. It can be strongly female-biased (humans)\, strongly male-biased (macaques/sheep) or somewhere in between. Understanding why this happens is key to understanding the evolution of recombination rates\, yet the causes and consequences of this phenomenon remain unknown. This talk will focus on our most recent work in house sparrows (Passer domesticus)\, with broader context from work in mammals and fish. We use genomic data in large pedigrees to characterise individual recombination rates and landscapes to: (a) investigate the heritability and genomic basis of variation in recombination rates; (b) identify genomic correlates with fine-scale sex-differences in recombination landscapes; and (c) use genomic prediction approaches to understand the relationship between recombination and fitness within each sex. Our work provides a foundation for broader understanding of the vast diversity of recombination rates in eukaryotic genomes. \n\n\n\nBiography: \n\n\n\nSusan Johnston is an evolutionary quantitative geneticist based at the University of Edinburgh\, Scotland\, where she is a Senior Lecturer and Royal Society University Research Fellow. Her research centres on using genomic information to understand selection and evolution in both wild and domesticated populations. At the moment\, her group focusses on questions related to genomic signatures of sexual conflict\, the maintenance of genetic variation in immunity\, and the causes and consequence of recombination landscape variation. She does this by taking advantage of long-term ecological datasets and deep pedigrees with genomic data in mammals\, birds and fish. \n\n\n\n\nIf you have questions\, feel free to contact the organizer\, Dominic Wright\, dominic.wright@liu.se\, Professor in Genetics\, IFM Biology\, Linköping University. Regarding DDLS-related issues\, you can ask Matthews Webster or events@scilifelab.se.
