[Spotlight seminar] Beyond Biological Sequence Space
2025-08-26 15:15 - 16:15 (Europe/Stockholm) | Air&Fire, SciLifeLab Stockholm, Tomtebodavägen 23A, Solna, Sweden
Dr. Klára Hlouchová, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic

Join us for an inspiring seminar with Dr. Klara Hlouchová, whose pioneering work delves deep into the “dark protein space“—the vast universe of unevolved amino acid sequences rarely touched by nature. Her group is using cutting-edge bioinformatics and experimental strategies to explore how early proteins formed using a primitive alphabet of just ~10 amino acids, and whether such minimal sets could support the folds and functions we see today. This seminar promises not just a glimpse into the origins of the protein world, but also fresh insights into the evolving logic of the genetic code and protein design. It’s a rare opportunity to connect with prebiotic molecular evolution at its most fundamental level.

We’re excited to invite you (SciLifeLab community only) to a practical and interactive workshop in Solna focused on how to effectively communicate your research to a broader audience.

Why this workshop?As researchers, we often spend so much time in the details of our work that it can be hard to see what’s most interesting or relevant to someone outside our field. This session is designed to help you identify and frame those stories, whether for public outreach, media visibility, or a strong social media post.

Whether you’re a PhD student, postdoc, or research engineer, this session is especially aimed at those who don’t usually take the spotlight but whose work absolutely deserves it.

Workshop themes

What makes your research interesting? Learn to identify the “hook” and explain it clearly to a non-scientific audience. Tips on relevant media outlets and news platforms where you can make your voice heard.

Writing for the general public Practice simplifying complex ideas without dumbing them down.

Social media confidenceGet hands-on tips for writing short, engaging posts (e.g., LinkedIn or Bluesky).

FormatShort presentations, interactive exercises, and peer feedback in a relaxed setting.

You’ll also learn how the SciLifeLab communications team can support your outreach efforts with tools, channels, and networks.

PreparationTo get the most out of the session, we’ll ask participants to bring a short, simplified description (max 200 words) of a finding or idea from their research that they’d like to share with the public.

More details will follow after registration.

OMOP as a standard for analytics, generating real-world evidence, and federated machine learning
2025-09-02 16:00 - 17:00
Eric Fey, Development Manager AI at Helsinki University Hospital

Abstract

In the rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare data analytics, the OMOP Common Data Model (CDM) has emerged as a game-changer, revolutionizing the way real-world evidence (RWE) is generated and utilized. The presentation will draw from the OMOP experience from Helsinki University Hospital (HUS) and outline key steps, required competencies, and infrastructure needed for implementation, as well as information on how to join and leverage the international OHDSI network in the process. The presentation will show how HUS has successfully navigated the process from data sources, through ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) to OMOP data, quality control, to the first federated real-world study, and further into swarm-learning for predictive modelling in precision medicine. Use cases covered will include participation in DARWIN, an international OMOP study on immune checkpoint inhibitor uptake in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (iCAN mNSCLC study-a-thon), and a swarm learning study across the Finnish university hospitals to cooperatively build a predictive model in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).

SMYTE History

The venue
Seminars, poster sessions, and most meals will be held on site at the Münchenbrggeriet (Munich Brewery) centrally located in Stockholm, now converted into a lovely conference center in the heart of Stockholm, with a breathtaking veiw of the city. “A historical building completely refurbished – right by the sea with the best view.” Our venue is Magasinet, Södermälarstrand 25 that accommodates 120 participants, well suited for the wonderful SMYTE community.

It is highly appropriate to have our meeting at an old brewery. Some of you may not know, European Breweries funded major research efforts during the first half of the 1900’s and their impactful findings laid the foundation of modern biochemical and genetic analysis. The groundbreaking work carried out at these breweries contributed to making yeast one the best understood forms of life. In our work today, our use of yeast and fungi as experiemental models builds on a strong tradition of research aimed at obtaining a precise appreciation of the many remaining mysteries of life.

Stockholm is easily accessible by air and train service and is a great base should you want to extend your stay and vacation in conjunction with your participation at the 40th SMYTE.

[The Svedberg seminar] - Liquid Biopsy: From Discovery to Clinical Application
2025-09-08 15:15 - 16:15 | BMC Room C8:301, Husargatan 3, Uppsala, Sweden
Catherine Alix-Panabières

Professor of OncologyUniversity Medical Center of Montpellier, France

Bio

Catherine Alix-Panabières is a Professor of Oncology and the Director of the ‘Laboratoire de Cellules Circulantes Humaines Rares et Biopsie Liquide’ (LCCRH) at Montpellier University Hospital and the Faculty of Medicine. Since 2022, she has also held the position of Professor at the University of Hamburg in Germany. A specialist in circulating tumor cell (CTC) research for 26 years, she is credited with coining the term “liquid biopsy” in 2010, in collaboration with Prof. Pantel. Professor Alix-Panabières instructs students in this subject at academic institutions in France and abroad, has organized numerous international conferences, has published over 165 scientific articles and numerous chapters in books and encyclopedias, has filed three patents and has collaborated on numerous European, American, and Asian research projects. Her most significant contribution is the demonstration of the clinical utility of CTCs in breast cancer. She has been the recipient of numerous accolades in France and abroad, including the “Gallet et Breton” prize in 2012 and the “Berthe Péan, Antoine et Claude Béclère” prize in 2023, bestowed by the Académie Nationale de Médecine. In 2022, she played a pivotal role in the cancer exhibition at the Cité des Sciences et de l’Industrie (Paris), which was curated by the National Institute of Cancer (INCa). Furthermore, the esteemed journal Nature, in its December 2020 issue, acknowledged the significance of liquid biopsy as a pivotal advancement in cancer research over the past two decades and showcased the contributions of Prof. Alix-Panabières throughout her career.

Liquid Biopsy: From Discovery to Clinical Application

This lecture explores how circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) have transformed cancer research and clinical care. I will provide an overview of current technologies for detecting these biomarkers, detailing their biology and their role in real-time monitoring of cancer progression. Advances now enable genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic profiling of CTCs, as well as functional studies using patient-derived cell lines. Likewise, ctDNA offers a non-invasive method to track tumor evolution and minimal residual disease. The lecture will highlight how CTC and ctDNA analyses have deepened our understanding of metastasis and therapy response. Expanding the definition of liquid biopsy to include tumor-induced immune components—such as immune cells, cytokines, and interleukins—could offer a more comprehensive view, particularly in the context of immunotherapy. I will conclude by discussing how CTC and ctDNA research uncovers mechanisms of immune escape and may guide the development of innovative strategies to improve cancer treatment.

[Spotlight seminar] Systems Human Immunology and AI: Immune Setpoint and Immune Health
2025-09-23 15:15 - 16:15 | Air&Fire, SciLifeLab Stockholm, Tomtebodavägen 23A, Solna, Sweden
Speaker: Professor John Tsang, Yale University

Abstract

The immune system, critical for human health and implicated in many diseases, defends against pathogens, monitors physiological stress, and maintains tissue and organismal homeostasis. It exhibits substantial variability both within and across individuals and populations. Recent technological and conceptual progress in systems human immunology has provided predictive insights that link personal immune states to intervention responses and disease susceptibilities. Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly machine learning (ML), has emerged as a powerful tool for analyzing complex immune data sets, revealing hidden patterns across biological scales, and enabling predictive models for individualistic immune responses and potentially personalized interventions. Here I light our recent work in deciphering human immune variation and predicting outcomes, particularly through the concepts of immune setpoint, immune health, and use of the immune system as a window for measuring health.

Biography

John Tsang is a systems immunologist, computational biologist, and engineer. He is the Anthony N. Brady Professor of Immunobiology and Biomedical Engineering at Yale University, the Founding Director of the Yale Center for Systems and Engineering Immunology (CSEI), the Yale Lead and an Investigator at the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub New York, and the co-Chief Scientific Officer of the Human Immunome Project (a non-profit dedicated to mapping human immune variation around the globe to develop AI models of human immune health for the benefit of all). Tsang has pioneered and established the concepts and predictive metrics of human immune setpoints and immune health including responses to vaccines, infections, autoimmunity, and therapeutics in human populations spanning the lifespan from infancy to old age. Tsang is also interested in programming immune cells to enable longitudinal immune and health monitoring of the entire body. Tsang has received numerous awards including multiple NIH Merit Awards for his research and leadership in systems immunology, COVID-19, and human immunology. He has advised numerous programs and organizations, including the Allen Institute, the Gates Foundation, CEPI, World Allergy Organization, National Cancer Institute, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, Snow Medical (Australia), and the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (Australia).

Meng Wang

PhD, Senior Group LeaderJanelia Research Campus, US

Bio

Dr. Meng Wang is currently a Senior Group Leader at HHMI Janelia Research Campus. She received a B.S. degree from Peking University, China in 2001 and a Ph.D. degree from University of Rochester in 2005. After being a postdoctoral follow at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Wang joined the faculty of Baylor College of Medicine in 2010. Before moving to Janelia in 2022, she was an HHMI Investigator, a Professor and the Robert C. Fyfe Endowed Chair on Aging at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM), as well as a co-director of the BCM Genetics and Genomics Graduate Program. Dr. Wang’s research focuses on metabolic signals in regulating lifespan and healthspan, through harnessing the power of genomic screening, multi-omic profiling, chemical engineering and optical biophysics. Her group uncovered that lysosomes act as a central hub for integrating metabolism and signal transduction to modulate cellular homeostasis and organismal fitness, and demonstrated a novel mode of signaling communication between bacteria and mitochondria in regulating host’s lipid metabolism and longevity. Technological developments in Dr. Wang’s laboratory have provided brand new ways to visualize and track metabolic molecules as a function of time and space in living cells and organisms. She is the recipient of NIH Director’s Pioneer Award, Peter O’Donnell Award, HHMI Faculty Scholar Award, ASCB Gibco Emerging Leader Prize, ASCB Early Career Life Scientist Award, and Glenn Award for Research in Biological Mechanisms of Aging. She is an elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Society for Cell Biology.

Metabolic Regulation of Longevity from Organelle to Organism

Dr. Wang’s research aims to decode the chemical language that governs cellular homeostasis and organismal healthspan. A central question in biology is how cells maintain homeostasis while adapting to continuous internal and external fluctuations. Metabolic activity, a cornerstone of cellular homeostasis, generates metabolites that are essential for cellular functions and highly conserved across species. Her lab has discovered that these metabolites can act as communication cues operating across multiple spatial scales, from organelles to whole organisms, through specific signaling mechanisms. This metabolic perspective links cellular dynamics with organismal physiology, offering novel strategies to promote healthy aging and longevity. In parallel with these mechanistic studies, her group has contributed to the development and application of cutting-edge imaging platforms that enable the study of metabolism in both space and time. These technological advances have revealed previously unknown spatial heterogeneity in metabolic organization and allowed high-resolution tracking of metabolic changes during aging

[BiG Talk] – Deciphering the epigenetic landscape of the brain: Innovations in chromatin profiling with single-cell nano-CUT&Tag
2025-09-26 14:00 - 15:00
Dr Marek Bartosovic, Stockholm University

Abstract

Single-cell epigenomic profiling has revolutionized our understanding of regulatory chromatin, transcription factors, and gene regulatory networks. Single-cell ATAC-seq has driven many of these insights by capturing accessible chromatin. However, the function of regulatory elements such as enhancers, promoters or repressors depends not only on DNA accessibility but also on histone modifications and other epigenetic factors.

To overcome the limitations of open chromatin analysis, we developed single-cell based CUT&Tag, an approach that profiles histone modifications at single-cell resolution. Building on this, we introduce nanobody-based scCUT&Tag, an improved technology that, for the first time, enables multimodal profiling of three epigenetic modalities—including open chromatin and two histone modifications—in thousands of single cells simultaneously. By harnessing a novel set of nanobody–Tn5 transposase fusion proteins, nano-scCUT&Tag achieves lower input requirements, generates more fragments per cell, and improves clustering resolution compared with previous methods. Integrating spatial multi-omics approaches with nano-scCUT&Tag further elucidated the spatial organization of epigenetic modifications within tissue architecture. This integration allows for the mapping of interactions between single cells within intact tissues at a genome-wide scale, providing deeper insights into the spatial context of gene regulation.Using nano-scCUT&Tag on the juvenile mouse central nervous system, we uncovered unprecedented epigenetic heterogeneity. These multimodal profiles facilitate the deconvolution of distinct cell identities in the brain and yield high-quality epigenetic datasets. Furthermore, we applied nano-scCUT&Tag to study chromatin dynamics during an in vivo differentiation process across a pseudotime trajectory. By linking chromatin opening to enhancer activation, we introduced the concept of “chromatin velocity” to predict lineage progression. Altogether, nano-scCUT&Tag provides unprecedented insights into the chromatin regulatory landscape of the mouse CNS.

Biography

Dr. Marek Bartosovic studied biochemistry at Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia, before pursuing a PhD at Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic, in the laboratory of Štěpánka Vanáčová. There, he investigated emerging mRNA modifications such as m^6A and the processing of non-coding RNAs.

In 2017 he joined the group of Goncalo Castelo-Branco at Karolinska Institute, where he studied the roles of epigenetics in the regulation of gene expression in the central nervous system. As part of his Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Seal of Excellence–funded project, he pioneered the development of single-cell CUT&Tag on the 10x Genomics platform, achieving the first single-cell histone modification profiling in the mouse brain. He further advanced the field by creating a multimodal version of nanobody-based single-cell CUT&Tag (nano-CT), capable of profiling three epigenetic modalities simultaneously in single cells. In collaboration he co-developed spatial epigenome profiling technologies on the DBiT platform. In September 2022, he established his independent laboratory at the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Stockholm University, and in 2023 was awarded a prestigious Swedish foundation starting grant, based on the evaluation of his ERC Starting Grant project.

ESS MAX IV SciLifeLab Summit 2025
2025-10-03 09:00 - 16:30
How can we and should we use the large amount of data generated by research at ESS, MAX IV and SciLifeLab, and how can AI help us manage it? This is the focus of this year’s Summit in Lund.

This year’s Summit has a few seats left so please register through Invajo if you would like to participate in person. If we get cancellations we will accept participants from the waiting list on a first come, first served principle.

ESS, MAX IV and SciLifeLab will generate tens of petabytes of data every year through the experiments and measurements made at the facilities. One petabyte data is approximately equivalent to 250 billion mobile phone photos or one billion books.

These data are the basis for the research breakthroughs in all fields of science – if we have strategies for managing, utilizing, quality-assuring and making it all available. However, a recent study tells us that there are significant bottlenecks.

Welcome to join us in Lund or online!
