SUMMARY:Mapping the development and regeneration of reproductive tissues
DESCRIPTION:Mapping the development and regeneration of reproductive tissues \n\n\n\nWelcome to a lecture by Roser Vento-Tormo\, Wellcome Sanger Institute\, UK. \n\n\n\n13.00-14.00 Wednesday September 14Air & Fire (Gamma 2) or via zoom https://kth-se.zoom.us/s/69393882589\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVento-Tormo’s research interest is to understand the influence of cellular microenvironments on individual cellular identities and responses\, in the context of development and immunity. Her team employs single-cell and spatial transcriptomics methods to deconstruct the cell signals in human organs and tissues\, and utilise this information to inform the reconstruction of novel in vitro models. Essential for this work\, is the novel computational tools her team develops to build cell–cell interactions networks from transcriptomics data. In her predoctoral research\, she studied the interplay between cell signalling and epigenetic machinery key to regulating cellular fate decisions in myeloid cells. She pursued her postdoctoral studies in the Teichmann laboratory as an EMBO / HFSP fellow\, where she developed CellPhoneDB.org\, a computational tool to study cell-cell communication from single-cell transcriptomics data. She used CellPhoneDB to disentangle the complex communication between maternal and fetal cells in the uterine-placental interface during early human pregnancy. Vento-Tormo work has been funded by many recognised international agencies (H2020\, MRC\, CZI\, Wellcome-LEAP)\, and she has recently obtained the Early Career Research Award from the Biochemistry Society (2021). \n\n\n\nThis keynote lecture is part of the FEBS Advanced Course – Exploring the Human Proteome

SUMMARY:Molecular analysis of human diversity and its impact on drug discovery using iPS cells
DESCRIPTION:Molecular analysis of human diversity and its impact on drug discovery using iPS cells \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWelcome to a lecture by Professor Angus I. Lamond\, \n\n\n\nUniversity of Dundee\, UK. \n\n\n\n16.00-17.00 Thursday September 15 \n\n\n\nAir & Fire (Gamma 2) or via zoom https://kth-se.zoom.us/s/69393882589 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor Lamond has over thirty years of experience as a Principal Investigator\, studying molecular mechanisms regulating gene expression and pre-mRNA splicing. This includes major contributions to the biochemical analysis of the human splicing machinery and to the study of functional compartments and subnuclear bodies in mammalian cells. The AIL group have developed new methods and technical approaches in these fields that have advanced mechanistic studies at the molecular and cellular levels\, spanning biochemical\, microscopy and MS-based proteomics technologies. During the past fifteen years\, the AIL laboratory has developed and applied state of the art mass spectrometry-based proteomic approaches in research projects studying molecular mechanisms regulating gene expression in both human cells and model organisms. This includes\, specifically\, integrated poly-omics analyses of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs)\, derived from both healthy donors and patient cohorts with inherited disorders. Other studies have focused on proteome dynamics in the context of biological response mechanisms and ongoing studies identifying and characterizing small molecule modulators of alternative splicing and analysis of how splicing mechanisms affect cell proteomes\, protein isoform expression and resulting cell phenotypes. He will describe the progress in using both quantitative\, MS-based proteomics and high throughput imaging technologies to characterize libraries of human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines\, derived from hundreds of different donors\, and show how comparisons of such iPSC lines can provide a novel approach for assessing mechanisms of variable drug response and help to deliver more safe new drugs that cater for the needs of diverse human populations. \n\n\n\nThis keynote lecture is part of the FEBS Advanced Course – Exploring the Human Proteome

SUMMARY:Multiscale Modelling of Cancer Cell Motility and Tumour Evolution
DESCRIPTION:Paul Bates\, Cricks institute\, UK\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMultiscale Modelling of Cancer Cell Motility and Tumour Evolution \n\n\n\nSince Inhibiting metastasis is as crucial as minimising tumour growth for efficient treatment of cancer\, we constructed a multiscale model of cancer cell motility\, with our primary focus being on amoeboid type cell motility of metastasising tumour cells in the extracellular matrix (ECM).  Our model covered a wide parameter space and provided a deeper understanding of the conditions governing the motility of the cell at multiscale levels. Both the extracellular conditions (e.g. ECM density) and intrinsic cell properties (e.g. relative distribution of contractile and expanding regions of the cell membrane) were investigated.  The aim was to identify the combination of intrinsic properties metastasising cells are more likely to use under different extracellular conditions. After extensive benchmarking of the computational model using in vitro data\, we were able to predict cancer cell motility in vivo and under a number of different combinations of motility inhibitory\, such as key kinase inhibitors. We have also developed multiscale computer models to investigate how tumours evolve based upon Intra-tumour genetic heterogeneity (ITH)\, which fuels ongoing clonal evolution. Despite clarified clonal structure and acknowledged role of ITH in disease progression within our recent tumour study\, investigating clear-cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCCs)\, there lacks characterisation of ongoing evolution that may inform future risk. By the combination of computer modelling and experimental analysis\, we investigated spatial features of narrow-scale clone diversity (microdiversity) and parallel evolution on the impact of spatial tumour growth. We observed frequent microdiversity hotspots and parallel evolution near the tumour margin and uncovered a scaling relationship between the area spanned by a genomic alteration and the number of subclones within that area\, in simulated tumours of 66 ccRCCs. Furthermore\, in-silico time-course studies showed that different modes of spatial growth caused varying extents and tempos of subclonal diversification.  Interestingly\, evolutionary trajectories were often predictable early\, suggesting that spatially resolved sampling combined with sequencing may enable identification of evolutionary potential in early-stage tumours.

SUMMARY:Context crosstalk of macrophages in cardiovascular disease
DESCRIPTION:Erik A.L. Biessen\, Maastricht University\, the Netherlands \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this paper\, Biessen et al. introduce a novel approach that integrates 15-plex multispectral immunofluorescent microscopy with mass spectrometry imaging to reveal murine atherosclerotic plaque myeloid heterogeneity. It maps the phenotypes’ tissue localization while allowing their further histological characterization and correlations with their cellular and molecular microenvironmental contexts. \nProf. Erik Biessen graduated in Biophysical Chemistry at Groningen University\, Netherlands (1985). He joined the Division of Biopharmaceutics of Leiden University (Prof. Dr. Th.J.C. Van Berkel) as a post-doctoral fellow and was selected for the prestigious Netherlands Heart Foundation (NHF) funded Molecular Cardiology Program to become Established Investigator in 2001. Dr. Biessen received an innovational research incentive premium of N.W.O in 2001 (VIDI/VICI precursor)\, acquired a second Established Investigatorship of the NHF in 2004\, and was appointed Professor in Therapeutic Gene Modulation at Leiden University in 2005. Since 2007 he is heading the Experimental Vascular Pathology group of CARIM (MUMC). Dr. Biessen has a part-time affiliation at the Institute for Molecular cardiovascular research of RWTH Aachen\, Germany since 2015. Dr. Biessen is/has been a board member of NHS-CVON ( 2010- 2013)\, Dutch Atherosclerosis Society (>2008)\, ZonMW TOP grant committee\, FWO Med6 Expert panel of FWO\, and Ph.D. assessment board of IWT (both Belgium). He is a scientific adviser of VantageView (St Louis\, USA)\, associate editor of Cardiovascular Research and Atherosclerosis\, and participates in several European research programs (e.g. ERA-CVD-AtheroMacHete\, 3 H2020 ITNs (Intricare\, Evolution\, CareSYAN)\, Interreg-EMR Healthy Ageing and EurLipids). Dr. Biessen aims for curiosity-driven cross-disciplinary research with an open eye for the valorization of findings. Through the years his focus has shifted from biophysical chemistry\, via medicinal chemistry and drug targeting to pathomechanistic studies of cardiovascular diseases (>2001)\, with a main emphasis on inflammation.

SUMMARY:FAIRPoints-FAIR & Open Research 4Beginners
DESCRIPTION:Location: Online via Zoom \n\n\n\n\n\nFuture generations of scientists will benefit from early introduction of Open and FAIR principles. By providing a general understanding of sound\, open\, transparent\, and reproducible research principles and inspiring students we will gain a positive and real change in the academic culture ultimately leading to better research. \n\n\n\n\n\nIntroducing these concepts to the public can also help demystify the research process\, allay public fears about data misuse through inappropriate sharing\, and educate and inform the public about what it really means to work Openly and Reproducibly. \n\n\n\nIt can also be used to persuade the public to support ongoing efforts for Open and FAIR research in order to get the most out of taxpayer funds and garner more interest in participation in citizen science projects. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat we want to do\n\n\n\nWe call for the inclusion of Open and FAIR principles at earlier time points e.g. in the school curriculum to young adults at school and undergraduate students. Together with Edinburgh ReproducibiliTea community we would like to develop training materials for that purpose. \n\n\n\nThe training material should encourage students to reflect on more general values such as transparency and openness in research\,  and motivate them to conduct methodologically sound research avoiding pitfalls associated with a lack of transparency and reproducibility. \n\n\n\nThis is a community led effort towards developing training material which is supported by the offer of a mentorship program provided by Open Life Science (OLS) to encourage individuals who might be interested in learning how to apply open principles in their work and in taking a leading role. \n\n\n\nHow to get involved\n\n\n\nThis is a first of a series of events designed to bring the community together to co-create material needed in different formats\, e.g. training slides\, guidebooks\, video/animations\, infographics etc… \n\n\n\nWe will facilitate the interactions via a series of community check-ins occurring between 4 to 6 weeks intervals\, we also offer biweekly co-working sessions and communications via slack for those who would like to stay in touch while working asynchronously. \n\n\n\nWe welcome all sorts of contributions e.g. input and suggestions\, reviewing\, spreading the word and advertising\, copy editing\, art work! You name it!!  \n\n\n\nJoin us at the kick-off to learn more about our plans and how you can contribute. \n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\nSee event in your TimeZone \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout FAIRPoints\n\n\n\nFAIRPoints is an event series highlighting pragmatic measures developed by the community towards the implementation of the FAIR (Findable\, Accessible\, Interoperable\, Reusable) data principles\, in collaboration with GoFAIR US\, SDSC\, AGU\, and SciLifeLab Data Centre. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSign up for future events here \n\n\n\nTwitter: @FAIR_Points

SUMMARY:BioImage Analysis support – Call4Help
DESCRIPTION:Every month (mainly on Tuesdays\, but there might be exceptions) the BioImage Informatics Facility together with microscopy expert Sylvie Le Guyader (LCI\, Karolinska Institutet) organizes a Call4Help session. The aim is to offer combined expertise towards microscopy and bioimage analysis. All researchers from Swedish institutes can participate. \nThe ideal timepoint to join the Call4Help session is when a researcher has performed pilot experiments and has tried out first analysis approaches – but before having recorded hundreds of images. Combining BIIF’s expertise in BioImage Analysis with microscopy expertise we can discuss ways to record the images that allow analysis afterwards. We will discuss different analysis approaches using mainly open-source software (Fiji\, CellProfiler\, QuPath\, Ilastik\, KNIME)\, but also commercial systems\, if needed (Imaris). \nThe Call4Help session format has been introduced to the BioImage Analysis community by NEUBIAS and ScopeM. \n  \nHow to participate? \nStep1: \nPrepare a short presentation (5-7 min)  – use the following template for your presentation: \nhttp://bit.ly/BIIF_C4H_slideTemplate \nSlide template by NEUBIAS/ScopeM \nStep2: \n\na) Upload your presentation \n\n  \nUpload your presentation to a drive of your choice. You can also use our Call4Help google drive. Note that files shared on our Call4Help drive will be available to everyone until the session is over. \nhttp://bit.ly/BIIF_C4H_Drive \n\nb) Upload example images for testing. \n\nUpload example images for testing either to the drive of your choice or our Call4Help google drive above. \nhttp://bit.ly/BIIF_C4H_Drive \n\nc) Register by filling out the registration form: \n\nhttp://bit.ly/BIIF_C4H_Registration \nStep 3: \nJoin the zoom-session. \nIf your problem is selected for presentation\, you will get a time-slot of 30 – 60 minutes within the session. \n  \nWhat are the Deadlines \nSubmission of a problem and upload of example data: Friday the week before the session. \nNotification about participation: The day before the session. \nNext Call4Help session: Tuesday\, October 11\, 2022\, 9.00-12.00 \nDeadline for application: Friday\, October 7\, 2022

SUMMARY:[The Svedberg seminar] Prof. Jay Hinton
DESCRIPTION:University of Liverpool\, UK \n\n\n\nTime: 15:15Venue: C8:305\, BMC\, Uppsala \n\n\n\nHost: Siv Andersson\, Uppsala University \n\n\n\nProf. Jay Hinton is Professor of Microbial Pathogenesis at the University of Liverpool. Prof. Prof. Hinton has developed RNA-seq-based approaches for studying gene expression of in vitro-grown and intra-macrophage bacteria. He is currently using functional genomics methods to understand how new Salmonella pathovariants are causing endemic bloodstream infections across sub-Saharan Africa. This disease has killed around 500\,000 people over the last decade. \n\n\n\nTitle of the talk: How has Salmonella become so dangerous in Africa?\n\n\n\nWith 3.4 million infections each year\, invasive non-Typhoidal Salmonella (iNTS) is a major cause of illness worldwide. In Sub-Saharan Africa\, bloodstream infections involving iNTS Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium are causing ~49\,000 deaths annually. Co-infection with HIV or malaria in adults\, and a young age (<5 years) are known risk factors. The main causative agent of iNTS is a pathovariant of Salmonella Typhimurium called ST313\, which is multi-drug resistant and closely-related to the ST19 type of Salmonella responsible for gastroenteritis globally. \n\n\n\nUsing a combination of comparative genomics and comparative transcriptomics\,we discovered phenotypic differences that distinguish African from global Salmonella pathovariants (Canals et al.\, 2019; Honeycutt et al.\, 2020). \n\n\n\nOur analysis led us to identify a single core genome SNP responsible for the up-regulation of a single promoter in strain D23580 that controlled the expression of a Salmonella virulence factor (Hammarlöf et al.\, 2018)\, and offers part of the explanation of the pan-African epidemic of bloodstream infection.All of the Salmonella transcriptomic data we have generated are now available online in a user-friendly website that allows intra-strain and inter-strain comparisons of gene expression between African and global pathovariants ofS. Typhimurium: https://tinyurl.com/SalComD23580 \n\n\n\nMost recently\, we used the combined power of genomics and epidemiology and thousands of historical and contemporary Salmonella isolates to understand the precise evolutionary trajectory of the S. Typhimurium ST313 pathogen in Africa. We identified a series of novel genome degradation events that impacted upon the function of Salmonella genes required for colonisation of the mammalian gut\, providing evidence of niche adaptation and the continuing evolution of ST313 (Pulford et al.\, 2021). \n\n\n\nI will summarise the evolutionary pathway of invasive S. Typhimurium across Africa\, and explain the value of an integrated functional genomic analysis for understanding how bacterial pathogens cause disease. \n\n\n\nReferencesCanals et al.

SUMMARY:The Dark Side of Science: Misconduct in Biomedical Research
DESCRIPTION:Researchers in all stages of their career are welcome to attend and could find the talk useful. Kindly feel free to extend the invitation to your home universities.  \n\n\n\nFlyer-BAM-Elisabeth-BikDownload\n\n\n\nScience builds upon science. Even after peer-review and publication\, science papers could still contain images or other data of concern. If not addressed post-publication\, papers containing incorrect or even falsified data could lead to wasted time and money spent by other researchers trying to reproduce those results. Several high-profile science misconduct cases have been described\, but many more cases remain undetected. Elisabeth Bik is an image forensics detective who left her paid job in industry to search for and report biomedical articles that contain errors or data of concern. She has done a systematic scan of 20\,000 papers in 40 journals and found that about 4% of these contained inappropriately duplicated images. In her talk she will present her work and show several types of inappropriately duplicated images and other examples of research misconduct. In addition\, she will show how to report scientific papers of concern\, and how journals and institutions handle such allegations. \n\n\n\nElisabeth Bik\, PhD is a Dutch-American microbiologist who has worked for 15 years at Stanford University and 2 years in industry. Since 2019\, she is a science integrity volunteer and consultant who scans the biomedical literature for images or other data of concern and has reported over 6\,000 scientific papers.  Her work has resulted in over 900 retracted and almost 1\,000 corrected papers.  \n\n\n\nWho the event is aimed at i.e.\, who will attend:  Researchers in all stages of their career are welcome to attend and could find the talk useful.

SUMMARY:[The Svedberg] - Manfred Schartl
DESCRIPTION:Developmental Biochemistry\, University of Würzburg\, Germany \n\n\n\nTime: 15:15Venue: C8:305\, BMC\, Uppsala \n\n\n\nHost: Leif Andersson\, Uppsala University \n\n\n\nTitle of the talk: Evolution of sex determination and sex chromosomes in fish \n\n\n\nBio: Prof. Manfred Schartl studied Biology and Chemistry at the University of Giessen\, Germany\, and graduated in Genetics. After postdoctoral research in Giessen and at the NIH in Bethesda he was team leader of a research group from 1985 to 1991 at the Gene Center of the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry in Martinsried\, Germany. Until 2019 he was full professor and chairman of Physiological Chemistry at the Biocenter of the University of Würzburg. Currently\, he heads a research group as senior professor at the Biocenter and works as scholar in residence at the Xiphophorus Genetic Stock Center at Texas State University in San Marcos. He is member of the German Academy of Sciences\, Leopoldina\, and the European Academy of Sciences\, Academia Europea. He holds an honorary doctorate from the University of Bergen\, Norway.He uses the small aquarium fish biomedical models Xiphophorus and Medaka to understand molecular processes of organ development and their malfunction in disease with a focus on pigment cells and melanoma and another one on sex determination and gonad development. Key to his research is taking an evolutionary perspective to answer these questions on the basis of comparative genomics and molecular biology experimental studies. \n\n\n\nAbstract: Sex determination (SD) is unique biological process in showing an astonishing plasticity of mechanisms. Fish present the greatest variability of SD amongst vertebrates. In the case of genetic SD this is linked to a similarly high variability of sex chromosome differentiation. While in a handful of species with genetic SD the master SD genes have been identified\, their molecular function in directing the development of the bipotential gonad primordium towards testis or ovary is unclear in many cases or incompletely known in the others. To obtain a deeper understanding of this diversity we need a better knowledge of the molecular basis of SD mechanisms and the structure and genetic organization of sex chromosomes across a broad diversity of fish. To identify sex chromosomes and primary SD genes\, we use high throughput RAD-tag marker mapping\, transcriptomics\, Pool-Seq and whole genome sequencing to identify sex-specific chromosomal regions and candidate SD genes in sharks\, sturgeons and teleosts. This led to the identification of sex-specific markers\, allowing to delineate the extent of recombination suppression\, which turned out to be highly variable between species. We identified several species with clear cut XX/XY or ZZ/ZW monofactorial systems but also species with more complex sex-determination systems including species with a mix of genetic SD and environmental SD and species with potential polygenic systems. In species with available genomic resources\, sex-specific markers could be used to assign scaffolds to regions that are supposed to contain the primary SD gene. We identified candidate genes in several species and find that most of them belong to already known factors of the primary SD regulatory network including candidate genes that have not been found so far as being SD genes. We also find that many species harbor very poorly differentiated sex-chromosomes. The SD variety does not follow a phylogenetic pattern\, and turnovers of the genetic SD system from male to female heterogamety and vice versa are frequent in some groups\, making the evolutionary instability of SD a spectacular trait whose biological meaning is not yet understood.

SUMMARY:[Clinical Talks] Stanford Ignite: Lessons learned from teaching entrepreneurs
DESCRIPTION:Yossi Feinberg\n\n\n\nThe Adams Distinguished Professor of Management and Professor of Economics at Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYossi Feinberg received his PhD in Mathematics from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem in 1997. His thesis studied how differing prior beliefs of decision makers can be expressed by their disagreement on current (posterior) events. After completing his dissertation under the supervision of Nobel Laureate Professor Robert J. Aumann\, Yossi began teaching economics at Kellogg Graduate School of Management. Yossi joined Stanford GSB in 1998. \n\n\n\nYossi’s teaching interests include Economics of Organization\, Managerial Economics\, Strategy\, Information Markets\, Game Theory and Applied Decision Making. In 2003 he received the MBA distinguished teaching award. \n\n\n\nYossi’s recent research interests include\, for example\, the analysis and implication of strategic decision making in the face of unawareness. He has modeled games with unawareness and their solutions. In these games each decision maker can reason about the extent to which others may only have a limited perception of the full scale of the economic interaction at hand. Yossi was an Associate Editor of the Journal of Economic Theory and is serving as a referee for all major microeconomics journals. He has given numerous invited seminars as well as multiple plenary talks at academic conferences. \n\n\n\nHe has been consulting in a wide range of industries including hi-tech\, media and healthcare as well as giving invited talks on topics such as pricing\, the sub-prime crisis\, in-house vs. outsourcing\, allocating decision power in organizations and strategic interactions. \n\n\n\nHe is the faculty director of Stanford Ignite\, a global innovation program running on the Stanford Campus. \n\n\n\nregister to receive zoom link\n\n\n\nStanford Ignite\n\n\n\nStanford Ignite grew out of a new kind of entrepreneurial educational program initiated in 2006 and spearheaded by Professor Yossi Feinberg. In aggregate\, about 1\,600 past participants have started more than 100 successful companies since the program was introduced. \n\n\n\nStanford Ignite is a certificate program that provides the business fundamentals necessary to succeed at any entrepreneurial or intrapreneurial venture. Business concepts learned in the classroom span core business skills and functional skills\, and are reinforced through practical application with team venture projects\, where participants work by project-based learning approach\, in teams of five or six to develop a new product or service for an existing organization or a new venture.Previous participants include graduate students currently pursuing a master’s\, MD\, PhD\, or post-doc program in a nonbusiness field\, with a strong representation from the Life Sciences area. A key attribute to of the success of the program is the close academic experience it offers. Participants engage directly with the same renowned faculty that teach in the Stanford MBA Program. Participation in real-time lectures\, case evaluations\, Q&A sessions\, small group discussions\, workshops\, panels\, and team projects. The program also features guest speakers from leading companies\, many of whom become venture-project mentors. \n\n\n\nKey Benefits\n\n\n\nStanford Ignite –is a certificate program that provides the business fundamentals to succeed at any entrepreneurial ventures. \n\n\n\nLearn fundamental business concepts from core business frameworks to tactical skills.Reinforce and apply lessons learned by working on a team to develop a new product or service.Improve communication\, elevator pitch\, and presentation skills in a daylong communications bootcamp.Present your idea and get robust feedback from venture capitalists\, angel investors\, industry experts\, and experienced entrepreneurs.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nClinical Talks\n\n\n\nClinical Talks is back for more! With a brand new and shiny Season 6. After successfully completing 5 seasons with > 70 enthusiastic Clinical Talkers to our record\, we have barely scratched the surface of all the amazing work our clinical\, academic and industry Life Science community has to offer. More about the upcoming events is available here. \n\n\n\nThese events are co-organized by Karolinska Institutet Innovations AB and SciLifeLab\, and brought to you by Colibri Ventures.

SUMMARY:3D-Equivariant Graph Neural Networks for Refining and Evaluating Protein Structures
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: \n\n\n\nJianlin Cheng\, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Missouri\, Columbia\, USA. \n\n\n\nTitle3D-Equivariant Graph Neural Networks for Refining and Evaluating Protein Structures \n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\nDeep learning is revolutionizing the prediction of protein structure and is close to solve this grand challenge hanging over the scientific world for many years. In this talk\, I will describe how this technology emerged in the field\, how it overcame various technical hurdles to reach a high accuracy of predicting protein structures as demonstrated by AlphaFold2\, and where it is going now. I will present our latest work of applying 3D-equivariant graph neural networks with self- attention to evaluate and refine protein structural models. Our experiments demonstrate that 3D-equivariant graph network networks that are robust against the rotation and translation of 3D objects can evaluate and improve the quality of protein structures more effectively than the existing methods.

SUMMARY:Seminar: Single cell and spatially resolved epigenomics
DESCRIPTION:Spatial omics has emerged as a new frontier of biological and biomedical research. In particular\, spatial transcriptomics has enabled genome-scale gene expression mapping with spatial resolution in tissue sections. So far\, the ability to capture spatial epigenetic information at the cellular level and genome scale has been lacking. This talk will describe recent advances in spatial epigenomics (ATAC-seq\, CUT&Tag)\, single cell epigenomics\, and how they can be applied to study multiple sclerosis. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker\n\n\n\nProf. Gonçalo Castelo-Branco is the Professor of Glial Cell Biology at the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics at Karolinska Institutet\, Stockholm\, Sweden. Prof. Castelo-Branco received his PhD in Medical Biochemistry in 2005\, working on development of dopaminergic neurons and neural stem differentiation. He completed post-doctoral fellowships first at the Karolinska Institutet and then at the University of Cambridge\, United Kingdom\, working in neural and pluripotent stem cells and chromatin. Prof. Castelo-Branco started his research group in 2012\, focusing on the molecular mechanisms defining the epigenetic state of cells of the oligodendrocyte lineage. The main focus of Prof. Castelo-Branco’s research group is to investigate how distinct epigenetic states within the oligodendrocyte lineage are established\, by identifying key transcription factors\, chromatin modifying complexes and non-coding RNAs that are involved in epigenetic transitions\, using technologies such as RNA-Seq (single-cell and bulk)\, quantitative proteomics and epigenomics\, among others. The long term aim of this research group to design epigenetic based-therapies to induce regeneration (remyelination) in demyelinating diseases\, such as multiple sclerosis. \n\n\n\nLab website \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZOOM link\n\n\n\n\n\nContact: Jakub Westholm\, SciLifeLab Bioinformatics Long-term Support
