SUMMARY:Clinical Talks: Detect cancer early\, while it still can be cured
DESCRIPTION:On September 30\, Dr. Hyunsung John Kim\, will talk about the amazing potential RNA liquid biopsies can offer modern healthcare\, by detecting cancer early\, while it still can be cured. Resulting in a total transformation of cancer care\, ultimately allowing for a more efficient\, cost-effective\, and sustainable healthcare. While working as a senior Bioinformatician at Illumina\, John was part of the founding team who branched out GRAIL\, with its very promising Galleri multi-cancer early detection test soon to hit our Clinical reality.  \n\n\n\nRegister to receive zoom link\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJohn develops cloud computing tools that use machine learning and AI to generate biological insights from large clinically relevant datasets. He has worked in Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and bioinformatics for over ten years in academic and industrial settings. \n\n\n\nHe started his career at the University of California at Santa Cruz where he received the Chancellor’s fellowship for designing new sequencing assays and algorithms for diagnostics and immunology. After receiving his PhD in Bioinformatics and Biomolecular Engineering\, John joined the Advanced Research group at Illumina. There he played a critical role in launching Illumina’s single cell product by developing the accompanying cloud-based bioinformatics software and was given the CEO award for his contributions. \n\n\n\nJohn departed from Illumina to make a significant impact on the fight against cancer by joining GRAIL Inc. as one of its founding members. At GRAIL\, he led a team of data scientists\, software engineers and statisticians as a bioinformatics technical lead. His team worked to gain a better understanding cell free nucleic acids and develop diagnostic products that detect cancer earlier than the current standard of care. John holds multiple patents and was an author on the first patent awarded to GRAIL. In addition\, he has co-authored peer-reviewed publications on his work related to the early cancer detection from cell free nucleic acids. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClinical Talks Series\n\n\n\nAfter our recent planning hiatus\, we now have the great pleasure to announce that “Clinical Talks” has been renewed for yet another exciting\, innovative\, and enlightening season. This season will focus on sustainable innovations within Life Sciences\, that have the potential to contribute to a better climate friendly future for our future generations. Also new this year is that the seminar is co-organized in a collaboration between SciLifeLab and KI Innovations. \n\n\n\nRead more about the clinical talk series here\n\n\n\nSeason 5\, will be held September until December 2021 with a total of seven scheduled Talks\, during Friday mornings 09-09:30 am via ZOOM (with some time-zone friendly adjustments for our international speakers). Each session consists of a talk given by our invited speaker followed by Q&A. The seminar is an open educational seminar series for our ever-expanding Life Science community.

SUMMARY:The Svedberg seminar series: Prof. Ana Pombo
DESCRIPTION:MDC Berlin Institute for Medical Systems Biology (BIMSB) \, Humboldt University\, Germany \n\n\n\nLINK TO SEMINAR \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAna Pombo investigates mechanisms that regulate 3D genome folding and gene expression during mammalian  development and in disease. After her doctorate work at the University of Oxford (UK)\, Ana was a recipient of a Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship. She started her independent group in 2000\, at the MRC London Institute for Medical Sciences\, Imperial College London\, before moving to the Max Delbrueck Center for Molecular Medicine in Berlin\, in Germany. Ana received the Robert Feulgen Prize in 2007\, and was elected EMBO member in 2018. She is a Professor at the Humboldt University of Berlin and the Deputy Scientific Directed of the Berlin Institute for Medical Systems Biology at MDC. \n\n\n\nFunctional specialization of 3D genome structures in brain cell types\n\n\n\nDuring lineage commitment\, cells sustain cascades of gene activation and repression to generate specific cell types that execute specialized functions. To investigate the variability of the 3D conformation of the genome in different cell types and their relation with cell-type specific patterns of gene expression\, we applied Genome Architecture Mapping is specific brain cell types from the adult murine brain\, without disturbing their native tissue environment: dopaminergic neurons (DNs) from the midbrain\, pyramidal glutamatergic neurons (PGNs) from the hippocampus\, and oligodendrocyte lineage cells (OLGs) from the cortex. We find extensive reorganization of genome topology\, which the reorganization of topological domains\, chromatin compartments and specific long-range hubs of contacts between neuron-specific genes. We also discover events of extensive chromatin decondensation\, or ‘melting’\, at long neuronal genes when they are highly transcribed\, many of them associated with neurodevelopmental disorders or neurodegeneration. Our work shows that the 3D organization of the genome is highly specific of cell type and strongly related with gene expression programs.Read more about Ana Pombo`s research: https://www.mdc-berlin.de/pomboHost:  Eva Brinkman\, KI

SUMMARY:The Svedberg seminar series: Assoc. Prof. Daniel Globisch
DESCRIPTION:SciLifeLab Fellow at Uppsala University / Dept. Chem – BMC \n\n\n\nLINK TO SEMINAR \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAssociate Professor Daniel Globisch started his independent research group as a Science For Life Laboratory Fellow at Uppsala University. In December 2020\, Daniel Globisch received tenure and moved with his laboratory to the Department of Chemistry – BMC. He received his PhD in Organic Chemistry and Chemical Biology in 2011 at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich and joined The Scripps Research Institute\, La Jolla\, CA for his postdoctoral research in Chemical Biology and Metabolomics from 2011 to 2015. At Uppsala University\, his laboratory develops new Chemical Biology methodologies to extend the scope of metabolomics research to discover new biomarkers for pancreatic and colorectal cancer. The interdisciplinary nature of the research projects is focussed on elucidation of the metabolic interaction between the gut microbiota and their human host. \n\n\n\nExploring Gut Microbiota Metabolism – Unique Chemical Biology Tools for Metabolomics Analysis\n\n\n\nOne of the most exciting scientific developments in the past decade has been the understanding that the microbiome profoundly impacts human physiology. The complex consortium of trillions of microbes possesses a wide range of metabolic activity. This metabolic interspecies communication represents a tremendous opportunity for the discovery of unknown bioactive molecules as only limited information on this co-metabolism has been elucidated on a molecular level. Metabolomics holds a great potential for the discovery of unknown biomarkers and bioactive metabolites. Advanced Chemical Biology tools are limited compared to other ‘omics research fields. Especially\, the detailed analysis of microbial metabolism remains a major challenge and requires advanced techniques. We have developed unique Chemical Biology methodologies for enhanced analysis using liquid chromatography-coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. These tools overcome limitations in mass spectrometry-based metabolomics analysis. We apply these methods for the discovery of unknown metabolites in human samples collected from pancreatic cancer patients to evaluate their potential as biomarkers.

SUMMARY:The Svedberg seminar series: Dr. Aviv Regev
DESCRIPTION:Genentech\, USA \n\n\n\nHost: Erik Sonnhammer \, Stockholm University \n\n\n\nZOOM LINK  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAviv Regev is a leader in deciphering molecular circuits that govern cells\, tissues and organs in health and their malfunction in disease. Her lab has pioneered foundational experimental and computational methods in single-cell genomics\, working toward greater understanding of the function of cells and tissues in health and disease\, including autoimmune disease\, inflammation and cancer \n\n\n\nCell atlases as roadmaps in health and disease\n\n\n\nCells are the basic unit of life\, and form a key intermediate between genotype and phenotype\, that is essential to explain how the gene variants that contribute to disease risk act. The recent advent of methods for high-throughput single-cell and spatial profiling has opened the way to create a human cells atlas: comprehensive reference maps of all human cells as a basis for both understanding human health and diagnosing\, monitoring\, and treating disease. From such maps we recovered rich aspects of biology\, including cell types and states\, differentiation and other temporal processes\, gene programs\, the physical location and interactions between cells\, the underlying regulatory circuits\, and even the possibility of predicting cell types and behaviors\, towards a “periodic table of our cells”. These\, in turn give us a new vocabulary for disease studies to determine the way in which cells do disease genes act\, which cells are disrupted in disease\, which programs change in them\, what mechanisms underlie their (dis)regulation\, how their cell-cell communications affected\, and what would be the impact of therapies. In this talk\, I will focus on how atlases help us to understand the relation between genotype to phenotype\, especially in the context of human genetics and disease\, from cells\, to programs\, to deciphering individual gene functions\, using single cell genomics as a conceptual and technical framework\, in complex disease\, cancer\, and COVID-19.Read more about Prof. Regev´s research HERE

SUMMARY:BiG Talks - Network based analysis of 1002 GWAS study defines a pleiotropy map of human cell biology
DESCRIPTION:BiG Talks: Integrative Omics\n\n\n\nArranged by the SciLifeLab platforms for Bioinformatics\, Genomics and Diagnostics Development \n\n\n\nThe Bioinformatics and Genomics seminar series (“BiG Talks”) is an initiative arranged by the SciLifeLab platforms for Bioinformatics (NBIS)\, Genomics (NGI) and Clinical Genomics platform. The seminar series aims to give inspiration to the SciLifeLab community and to create new networking possibilities. Each event will be broadcasted over Zoom where you will be able to interact with the speakers\, and live broadcasted at the SciLifeLab YouTube channel.  \n\n\n\nIn this seminar series\, run in parallel with the ELIXIR-SE / NBIS workshop in Omics Integration and Systems Biology\, we will be broadcasting three seminars about research and tools for integration of omics data through systems biology approaches\, in humans and model organisms. Please use the following link to register and access the Zoom link:  \n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8th of September\, 15:00 – 16:00 CET \n\n\n\nNetwork based analysis of 1002 GWAS study defines a pleiotropy map of human cell biologyDr. Pedro BeltraoGroup Leader\, EMBL-EBI\, United Kingdom \n\n\n\nMore info\, see below \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n10th of September\, 13:00 – 13:55 CET \n\n\n\nMetabolic Atlas: genome-scale metabolic models for easy browsing and analysisMihail AntonProject Manager for Metabolic Atlas\, NBIS / Chalmers University\, Sweden \n\n\n\nMore info \n\n\n\n\n\n10th of September\, 14:00 – 15:00 CET \n\n\n\nNetwork-based integration and visualization of large-scale dataDr. Lars Juhl JensenGroup Leader\, Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research\, Denmark \n\n\n\nMore info \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNetwork based analysis of 1002 GWAS study defines a pleiotropy map of human cell biology\n\n\n\nDr. Pedro Beltrao\, Group Leader\, EMBL – EBI\, United Kingdom \n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\nUnderstanding how genetic variation contributes to phenotypic differences is a central question in biology. This requires models that can describe how rare and common genetic variability impacts on different cellular components and traits. To study the impact of rare variants we develop and combine variant effect predictors for protein stability\, interaction affinity\, and gene expression regulation. We have applied these to study the impact of rare variants on trait variation in strains of micro-organisms\, including panels of 1000 strains of E. coli and S. cerevisiae.  For human we have used a network-based approach to study 1002 traits analysed by genome wide association studies (GWAS). Based on the principle that genes associated with the same phenotype tend to be involved in the same cellular processes\, we performed a network expansion and prioritization of trait associated genes. The network based gene-trait association scores allows for the identification of related traits and the biological processes that they share. Based on this we can identify pleiotropic biological processes that can influence a large number of human traits and identify opportunities for drug repurposing. Finally\, I will illustrate how this analysis can be combined with patient specific mRNA/protein data for further prioritization. I will focus on neurodegeneration diseases to illustrate the identification of shared aetiology and further integrate ALS SOD1 mutant patient mRNA/protein data to identify novel astrocyte candidate ALS linked genes. As a future perspective I will briefly discuss the need for approaches that can jointly integrate common and rare genetic variation to improve our understanding of trait variation. \n\n\n\nBiography \n\n\n\nDr. Pedro Beltrao is a group leader at EMBL – EBI where his research group seeks to understand how cellular functions have diverged during evolution as well as how they are altered in disease. He employs systems biology techniques to analyse GWAS\, post-translational modifications (PTMs) data from mass-spectrometry experiments\, among other omics\, to study the molecular sources of phenotypic novelties\, exploring how DNA changes are propagated through molecular structures and interaction networks to give rise to phenotypic variability. Dr. Beltrao has a PhD in Biology from the University of Aveiro (research conducted at EMBL-Heidelberg)\, after which he conducted his postdoctoral research at the University of California San Francisco. Dr. Beltrao is a group leader at EMBL-EBI since 2013\, and will join ETH Zurich in 2022.  Homepage: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/research-beta/beltrao/ \n\n\n\nHost: Rui Benfeitas\, NBIS Stockholm (rui.benfeitas@scilifelab.se) \n\n\n\nDate: September 8\, 15:00 – 16:00 CET online on Zoom \n\n\n\nBroadcast link (live event): SciLifeLab YouTube channel  \n\n\n\nRegistration form for zoom link

He early found a passion for enzymes and their potential for solving the commonly unsustainable production of the chemical products used in our everyday lives and that modern society relies upon. He co-founded EnginZyme in 2014 – a company dedicated to replacing the incumbent chemical transformations that rely on heavy metal catalysts and high energy consumption\, and produce a lot of bi-products. This is accomplished by developing production processes based on a proprietary and general enzyme immobilization technology applied in flow chemistry set-ups. In 2021 Karim was selected as the KTH Alumnus of the Year\, and EnginZyme as Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum. \n\n\n\nDuring the first Clinical Talks of the season\, Karim will share his passion and insights for his work\, technology aspirations\, and experiences in pharmaceutical production\, and how EnginZyme will “make the impossible possible” for a sustainable industrial large-scale production for future generations.”

SUMMARY:Summer School Advanced topics in single cell Transcriptomics - Online
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\n\n\nNBIS (SciLifeLab Bioinformatics Platform) and SIB (Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics) are pleased to co-organize this online course in Advanced topics in single cell Transcriptomics. \n\n\n\nThis jointly collaborative effort between the SIB and NBIS (SciLifeLab Bioinformatics Platform) was launched in 2019 as an every-second-year seasonal school where the thematic topic mirrors the life science demand of knowledge up-skilling. In 2019 we did a seasonal school on the topic of single-cell omics analysis and this year we are repeating this theme as the demand is still extremely high. \n\n\n\nIn recent years\, single-cell transcriptomics has become a widely used technology to study heterogeneous and dynamic biological systems. A large number of new tools and approaches have been developed for analyzing this new type of data. The goal of this joint School is to provide PhD students and postdocs with theoretical and mostly hands-on knowledge on selected advanced topics in Single Cell analysis. In particular\, the participants will be split into small groups to develop mini projects (more details provided later to accepted students. \n\n\n\nFor this one week course in single-cell transcriptomic we are delighted to have several excellent researchers and experts from both the Swedish and the Swiss Life Science community such as teachers such as Alma Andersson\, Åsa Björklund\, Volker Bergen\, Paulo Czarnewski\, Emma Dann\, Charlotte Soneson\, Panagiotis Papasaikas\, Geert van Geest and others. \n\n\n\nTarget audience\n\n\n\nThis course is designed for intermediate users and we consider the knowledge of basic steps in single-cell analysis as a prerequisite. \n\n\n\nCourse and Application details\n\n\n\nApplication is now open at SIB announcement Summer School Advanced topics in single cell Transcriptomics. The SIB page will be regularly updated with more detailed information. \n\n\n\nAny questions please contact Jessica Lindvall (Training coordination\, NBIS)\, jessica.lindvall@nbis.se and Grégoire Rossier (Training coordination\, SIB)\, Gregoire.Rossier@sib.swiss        \n\n\n\nImportant dates\n\n\n\nDeadline for free-of-charge cancellation is set to 28/07/2021. Cancellation after this date will not be reimbursed. \n\n\n\nCourse fee\n\n\n\nThe registration fees for academics are 300 CHF (appriximately 270 Euro) and 1500 CHF (approximately 1370 Euro) for for-profit companies.

SUMMARY:SciLifeLab The Svedberg seminar: Prof. Athula Attygalle
DESCRIPTION: Stevens Institute of Technology\, USA \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLINK TO SEMINAR \n\n\n\n Prof. Athula Attygalle obtained a PhD in Chemistry from Keele University in 1983. After his doctorate\, Attygalle was awarded a Fellowship by the Humboldt Foundation to conduct research at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) under late Prof\, Hans Jürgen Bestmann\, a pioneer in the field of insect pheromone synthesis. Four years at FAU\, provided the impetus for Attygalle to become an expert in high-resolution mass spectrometry and micro-chemical techniques for structure elucidation of natural compounds at nanogram level. At FAU\, Attygalle championed in the area of lepidopteran sex pheromone identification. Attygalle was a visiting professor at University of Houston\, Texas and he has served as the Director of Mass Spectrometry facility at Cornell University. He has completed work there in GC-MS regarding insect substances and their identifications.  Currently Attygalle is attached to the Stevens Institute of Technology as a Research Professor in the Department of Chemistry and head of the mass spectrometry laboratory. Attygalle was the recipient of the 2014 ‘Inventor of the Year’ award presented by the New Jersey Inventors Hall of Fame for his patented work in Mass Spectrometric Analysis utilizing Helium Plasma and charge exchange ionization techniques. Attygalle co-authored the 1999 article “Single-Site Catalysts for Ring-Opening Polymerization:  Synthesis of Heterotactic Poly(lactic acid) from rac-Lactide” in the Journal of the American Chemical Society\, which has been widely cited. \n\n\n\nMultiple Personalities of Gaseous Ions \n\n\n\nFor mass spectrometry\, neutral molecules are converted to gaseous ions.   A mass spectrum is recorded by determining the mass-to-charge ratios and intensities of fragment ions generated by activating a specific ion. Many textbooks provide rules to identify molecules by interpreting their mass spectra.  All recommended interpretations start by presuming a specific structure for the initial ion.  However\, recent advances in ion-mobility methods demonstrate that an ensemble of ions with different structures are produced upon ionization. For example\, the most widely used electrospray ionization technique often generates a mixture of tautomeric forms of a precursor molecule.  Because fragmentation spectra of individual tautomers are often different from each other\, the spectra recorded without separating the isomeric mixtures are composites.  Although large collections of spectra are available as libraries\, the time has come to for us query of the quality of these compilations.                    \n\n\n\nHost: Kumari Ubhayasekera

SUMMARY:SciLifeLab Workshop on Federated Machine Learning
DESCRIPTION:Location: Online via Zoom\n\n\n\nProgram:\n\n\n\n13.00 – 13.45  Presentation: Introduction to Federated Machine Learning \n\n\n\n14.00 – 16.00  Hands-on workshop: How to set up\, run and deploy a federated learning project using the FEDn open source solution \n\n\n\nNote that it is possible to attend the first presentation only\, or both presentation and workshop. \n\n\n\nWhat is Federated Machine Learning?\n\n\n\n\nFederated learning enables several organizations / groups to collaborate on machine learning models without needing to directly share sensitive or confidential data with each other.It is a distributed machine learning approach which enables training on decentralised data. A server coordinates a network of nodes\, each of which has local\, private training data. These nodes contribute to the construction of a global model by training on local data\, and the server combines non-sensitive node model contributions into the global model. \n\n\n\nFor a short (10min ) introduction see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbLHRtGWPL8 \n\n\n\n\nWho should attend?\n\n\n\n1.Researchers who are interested in learning more about FedML \n\n\n\n2.Researchers who are interested in testing FedML hands-on in the FEDn solution \n\n\n\nAbout the organizers\n\n\n\nScaleout consists of a team of data scientists\, machine learning engineers\, software engineers\, and entrepreneurs with experience from both industry and academic research in AI and applied machine learning\, cloud and fog computing\, and scientific computing from Uppsala University. We’re working on a platform for end-to-end privacy-preserving machine learning with a focus on helping organisations put advanced machine learning and DevOps technologies into production. \n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\nThe presentation and the workshop is free of charge but requires registration. The number of seats for the hands-on part of the workshop is limited to 20 people so only register for the workshop if you are interested in actively participating in the tutorial. \n\n\n\nContact: Prof. Ola Spjuth\, AI coordinator\, SciLifeLab Data Centre. \n\n\n\nRegister here
