As Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at UC Santa Cruz and HHMI Investigator\, Beth uses DNA recovered from bones and other remains to study how species evolved through time and how human activities have affected and continue to affect this dynamic process. Her work focuses on organisms ranging from influenza to mammoths\, asking questions about domestication\, admixture\, speciation\, and pathogen evolution. Her current work develops techniques to recover increasingly trace amounts of DNA such as from environmental and forensic samples. A 2009 MacArthur Fellow\, Beth is also an award-winning popular science author and communicator who uses her research as a platform to explore the potential of genomic technologies for conservation and medicine. \n\n\n\n\nProf. Ludovic Orlando\nLudovic is a former student from the Ecole Normale Supérieure of Lyon (1996-2000)\, one of the top-5 French universities. First trained as a molecular biologist\, he soon became interested in applying computational techniques to DNA sequence data. He graduated in molecular genetics from the Univ of Lyon\, France in 2003\, twenty years after the first ancient DNA molecule was sequenced. He was appointed as a permanent Associate Professor at ENS Lyon\, where he lectured and performed research between 2005 and 2010. He started his own research group in 2010 at the Centre for GeoGenetics\, Univ of Copenhagen\, Denmark\, where he was appointed as a full Professor in ‘Molecular Archaeology’ until 2020. He became a CNRS research director in 2016. He founded the Centre for Anthropobiology and Genomics (CAGT) in 2020\, and as acted as its director since. He is also the head of the AnimalFarm CNRS International Research Programme\, grouping together 4 leading ancient DNA labs at Univ of Oxfort\, Trinity College Dublin\, and LMU Munich\, all focused on the reconstruction of the domestication history of animal domestic species. \n\n\n\nAmongst his early career achievements feature (1) the sequencing of the first Middle Pleistocene genome\, (2) the characterization of the first ancient epigenome\, and (3) the identification of the horse and donkey domestication homelands. \n\n\n\nHe has been part of several organizing and scientific boards of international meetings\, including for the Society of Molecular Biology and Evolution\, the International Symposium on Biomolecular Archaeology\, the International Union for Quaternary Research and the International Union of the Protohistoric and Prehistoric Sciences. He has been an Academic Editor and/or Editor-in-Chief for multiple scientific journals\, including PLoS One\, Scientific Reports\, Peer J and STAR.

SUMMARY:Nano-electrokinetic transcriptomics empowers the phenotyping of single cells
DESCRIPTION:Seminar with Prof. Hirofumi Shintaku\, Kyoto University\, Japan \n\n\n\nHost: Ian Hoffecker\, SciLifeLab \n\n\n\nregistration\n\n\n\nYou can also follow the meeting via Zoom. \n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\nNanopore electroporation uses nanoscale structures to create focused electric fields\, which form pores in lipid bilayers with low invasiveness. We here discuss the biophysics of the pore formation that depends on the cell surface tension and introduce an approach that leverages nanopore electroporation and single-cell RNA-sequencing to parallelly profile cell surface tension and gene expression\, electroporation-based lipid-bilayer assay for cell surface tension (ELASTomics). We show that ELASTomics dissects the heterogeneity in cellular mechanics and uncovers the regulatory mechanism in cancer malignancy\, cell differentiation\, and cellular senescence. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBiography \n\n\n\nDr. Hirofumi Shintaku is a Professor at the Institute for Life and Medical Sciences (LiMe)\,  Kyoto University. \n\n\n\nHe studied Mechanical Engineering at Kyoto University in Japan\, receiving his undergraduate\, master’s\, and Ph.D. degrees in 2002\, 2004\, and 2006\, respectively. From 2006-2012\, he worked as a Research Associate in the Department of Mechanical Science and Bioengineering at Osaka University in Japan.  From 2012 to 2018\, he worked as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Micro Engineering at Kyoto University. From 2012 to 2015\, he was a visiting scholar at Stanford University in the United States and collaborated with Professor Juan G. Santiago. From 2018 to 2025\, he worked as a RIKEN Hakubi Team leader at RIKEN\, where he initiated his own research group and has pioneered single-cell RNA-sequencing approaches\, SINC-seq (Abdelmoez et al. Genome Biol 2018\, Oguchi et al. Sci Adv 2021)\, ELASTomics (Shiomi et al. Nat Commun 2024)\, and live embryonic transcriptomics (Torii et al. under review). Since 2023\, he has been directing the Nano Bioengineering Laboratory at LiMe\, Kyoto University. \n\n\n\nHe was awarded the Best Paper Award from JSAEM (2006)\, the IIP Division Award for Young Engineer from JSME(’09)\, JSME Young Engineers Award (2010)\, Osaka University Achievement Award (2011)\,  Certificate of Merit for Micro-Nano Science and Technology Division of JSME (’14)\, the Micro-Nano Engineering Excellent Paper Certificate of Merit (2022)\, Nakatani Encouragement Award (2025)\, RIKEN Biho Award (2025). \n\n\n\nHis current research activities include developing microfluidic systems for single-cell analyses and measurement techniques of fluid dynamics in nano/micro-confined spaces.

SUMMARY:[The Svedberg seminar] - The world of viruses and its evolution through the lens of metagenomics and metatranscriptomics
DESCRIPTION:Eugene V. KooninHead of Evolutionary Genomics Group at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the NIH\, USA \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nBio\n\n\n\nEugene V. Koonin is an NIH Distinguished Investigator\, the leader of the Evolutionary Genomics Group at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the NIH. He graduated from Moscow State University in 1978 and was awarded a PhD in Virology by the same university in 1983. He joined the NIH in 1991 and became a Senior Investigator in 1996 and a Distinguished Investigator in 2019. Dr. Koonin’s research focuses on genome evolution\, especially in microbes and viruses\, host-parasite coevolution\, and more specifically\, functions and evolution of antivirus defense systems\, in particular\, CRISPR-Cas. Dr. Koonin is the author of the concept and implementation of Clusters of Orthologous Genes which are central to comparative and evolutionary genomics. He also develops mathematical models of various evolutionary process and works on general theory of evolution based on physical principles. Dr. Koonin has published about 1100 research and review papers\, many in premier scientific journals\, that have been cited more than 265\,000 times. He is also the author of the 2011 book “The Logic of Chance” which outlines a new synthesis of Evolutionary Biology. His h-index is 246 according to Google Scholar. Dr Koonin is a member of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA\, National Academy of Medicine of the USA\, American Academy of Arts and Sciences\, and American Academy of Microbiology\, a Foreign Associate of the European Molecular Biology Organization and Academia Europea\, and a Doctor Honoris Causa of Universite Aix-Marseille\, Wageningen University\, Weizmann Institute of Science and University of Haifa. \n\n\n\nThe world of viruses and its evolution through the lens of metagenomics and metatranscriptomics\n\n\n\nViruses and virus-like mobile genetic elements are ubiquitous parasites or symbionts of all cellular life forms and the most abundant biological entities on earth. The recent\, unprecedented advances of comparative genomics\, metagenomics and metatranscriptomics have led to the discovery  of diverse novel groups of viruses and a rapid expansion of the chartered region of the virosphere. These discoveries provide for a vastly improved understanding of the evolutionary relationships within the virosphere. Arguably\, we are approaching the point when the global architecture of the virus world can be outlined in its entirety\, and the key evolutionary events in each of its domains can be reconstructed. I will present such an outline of the global organization of the virosphere and the corresponding megataxonomy\, including 7 evolutionarily coherent virus realms\, that has been recently approved by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses\, as well as additional candidate major taxa including new realms. The expansion of the prokaryotic virosphere that now includes many groups of viruses\, particularly\, those with RNA genomes\, previously thought to be eukaryote-specific\, will be emphasized. I will further discuss the position of viruses within the wider space of replicators and the recent dramatic expansion of the “alternative virosphere” that includes viroids and diverse viroid-like viruses that seem to have evolved on multiple\, independent occasions. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHost: Peter Bozhkov peter.bozhkov@slu.se

SUMMARY:[The Svedberg seminar] - The evolution of codon usage bias in humans: the unwanted transcript hypothesis
DESCRIPTION:Laurence HurstProfessor of Evolutionary Genetics at The Milner Centre For Evolution \n\n\n\nUniversity of Bath UK \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nBiography\n\n\n\nLaurence Hurst is Professor of Evolutionary Genetics at The Milner Centre For Evolution\, University of Bath UK\, of which he was the founding Director. He works on fundamental problems in the evolution of genetic systems often with application to medicine. He was elected a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences and a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 2015. He was a recipient of the Humboldt Prize (2024)\, the VC Research Medal (2015)\, the Scientific Medal of the Zoological Society of London (2003)\, the Darwin Award of the BA (2000) and was elected a member of European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) in 2004. He was awarded The Genetics Society Medal in 2010 and was its President from 2018-2021. Aside from being on the editorial board of multiple journals\, he is on the Scientific Advisory Board of ExpressionEdits and the Advisory Board of PlosB.  \n\n\n\nThe evolution of codon usage bias in humans: the unwanted transcript hypothesis\n\n\n\nAlthough translational selection to favour codons matching the most abundant tRNAs is not readily observed in humans\, nonetheless ~20% of synonymous mutations are under selection. We hypothesize that much of this reflects protection against unwanted RNAs – spurious transcripts\, mis-spliced forms or RNAs derived from transposable elements or viruses. We propose that selection on synonymous sites functions to reduce the rate of creation of unwanted transcripts and to filter if created. Specifically\, high-GC content is both particular to functional native mRNAs and used to recognize transcripts as native. In support of this hypothesis\, transcription\, nuclear export\, liquid phase condensation and RNA degradation promote GC-rich transcripts and suppress AU ones. With such ‘traps’\, the codon usage of native genes has\, in turn\, evolved to avoid such suppression. That parallel filters also affect the endosomal import of RNAs provides common design rules for both transgenes and RNA vaccines.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHost: Matthew Christmas matthew.christmas@imbim.uu.se

SUMMARY:Global impact of sharing Open Educational Materials: Examples from Sweden and Africa
DESCRIPTION:Have you created a presentation or taken a course in the past year? If so\, you’ve likely already interacted with Open Educational Resources (OER)—materials that are free to use\, adapt\, and share. This seminar at SciLifeLab is for anyone who creates training and wants to make their content FAIR (Findable\, Accessible\, Interoperable\, Reusable)\, as well as for students and lifelong learners looking to enhance their skills using openly available resources. We’ll explore the FAIR-by-design methodology for training materials\, where to find high-quality content in repositories\, and case studies of research output reuse in the creation of training events and resources from Africa— highlighting why sharing matters and who benefits beyond the original creators. Join us to discover how open education can be a win for both you and the global learning community. \n\n\n\nThis event is organized by SciLifeLab Data Centre\, and NBIS.  \n\n\n\nPresenters:  \n\n\n\nAnelda van der Walt – TalarifyAnelda’s background in Bioinformatics provided the foundation for her work in open science.

SUMMARY:Exploring the Protein Universe via Highly Accurate Structural Predictions
DESCRIPTION:Speaker\n\n\n\nMartin Steinegger\, Seoul National University \n\n\n\nAbstract\n\n\n\nUnderstanding relationships and functions of proteins at a global scale is key to unlocking newbiological insights. Through next-generation structure predictors like AlphaFold2 and ESMfold\,we now have access to an unprecedented volume of protein structures\, providing a crucialfoundation to address this challenge. In this talk\, I will present how our computationalmethods ColabFold\, MMseqs2\, and Foldseek together allow extraction of biological insightsfrom protein sequences and structures at nearly billion-scale. Additionally\, I will demonstratehow protein language models combined with sparse experimental data can guide andprioritize experimental efforts\, enabling efficient iterative “lab-in-the-loop” research.Together\, these tools democratize computational analysis and significantly acceleratediscoveries in protein biology.

SUMMARY:Hur kan vi göra Sverige ledande inom precisions-medicinsk forskning?
DESCRIPTION:Hur kan vi utnyttja den snabb utvecklingen inom genomik och multiomik-tekniker för att ställa mer precisa diagnoser och kunna erbjuda skräddarsydda behandlingar samtidigt som vi säkerställer att dessa banbrytande framsteg blir jämlikt tillgängliga för alla i Sverige? \n\n\n\nRead more\n\n\n\nGenomik och multiomik-tekniker kommer i framtiden att kunna användas för att ställa mer specifika diagnoser och rekommendera mer riktade behandlingar\, både för sällsynta sjukdomar\, cancer och folksjukdomar. För att möjliggöra precisionsmedicin krävs både forskning och implementering inom sjukvården. Sverige har unika hälsodataregister och ett stort antal väletablerade biobanker\, men för att möjliggöra mer individanpassad vård och behandling behövs storskaliga studier inom genomik\, proteomik och metabolomik\, så kallad multiomik. Dessutom måste denna data göras tillgänglig för forskare på ett transparent och säkert sätt. Vi behöver också bli bättre på att integrera forskning med hälso- och sjukvården för att snabbare kunna utveckla och implementera ny diagnostik och behandling. Precision Omics Initiative Sweden (PROMISE) är ett nytt nationellt initiativ som syftar till att göra Sverige ledande inom precisionsmedicinsk forskning. \n\n\n\nMedverkande\n\n\n\n\nÅsa Johansson\, Dr.\, Uppsala Universitet\, SciLifeLab\, GMS\n\n\n\nRichard Rosenquist Brandell\, Professor\, GMS\, Karolinska Institutet\, Karolinska sjukhuset\n\n\n\nTuuli Lappalainen\, Professor\, KTH\, SciLifeLab

SUMMARY:Mithrl AI Co-Scientist for Accelerating Biological Discovery.
DESCRIPTION:Vivek Adarsh\, Mithrl \n\n\n\nNBIS and SciLifeLab Data Centre arrange an open SciLifeLab AI Seminar Series aimed at knowledge-sharing about Artificial Intelligence 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\n​Despite the explosion of biological data from sequencing\, imaging\, and high-throughput experiments\, extracting meaningful insights remains slow\, manual\, and heavily reliant on limited bioinformatics resources. Scientists often encounter bottlenecks that delay decision-making and limit the scope of discovery. \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, we introduce the concept of an AI Co-Scientist—a set of autonomous agents that collaborates with researchers to analyze data\, generate hypotheses\, and uncover novel insights in minutes rather than months. We’ll explore real-world use cases where AI systems assist with tasks ranging from experimental planning and data preprocessing to functional analysis and scientific interpretation. We’ll also address practical challenges\, including data quality\, trust in AI-generated results\, hallucinations\, and integration into existing research workflows. By the end of the session\, you’ll have a clearer understanding of how AI can partner with scientists to accelerate progress in the life sciences.

SUMMARY:[Spotlight seminar] Beyond Biological Sequence Space
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Klára Hlouchová\, Charles University in Prague\, Czech Republic \n\n\n\nJoin 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. \n\n\n\nHost: Ilaria Piazza\, Ilaria.piazza@scilifelab.se

SUMMARY:Workshop: How to communicate your research beyond the lab 
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\n\n\nWhy 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. \n\n\n\nWhether 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. \n\n\n\nWorkshop themes \n\n\n\n\nWhat 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.\n\n\n\nWriting for the general public Practice simplifying complex ideas without dumbing them down.\n\n\n\nSocial media confidenceGet hands-on tips for writing short\, engaging posts (e.g.\, LinkedIn or Bluesky).\n\n\n\n\nFormatShort presentations\, interactive exercises\, and peer feedback in a relaxed setting.  \n\n\n\nYou’ll also learn how the SciLifeLab communications team can support your outreach efforts with tools\, channels\, and networks. \n\n\n\nPreparationTo 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.  \n\n\n\nMore details will follow after registration. \n\n\n\nTentative date: August 28Duration: 1 hourLocation: SciLifeLab Solna (in person)Register here: First come\, first served
