SUMMARY:TEM sample preparation practical course
DESCRIPTION:This is a practical course on sample preparation for TEM and includes: \n\n\n\n\nUltra-microtome sectioning\n\n\n\nChemical fixation\n\n\n\nPlastic embedding\n\n\n\nTEM imaging\n\n\n\nHigh-pressure freezing & freeze substitution\n\n\n\nImmunolabeling techniques (Immunogold\, CLEM)\n\n\n\nVolume EM (FIB-SEM & Tomography)\n\n\n\n\nParticipants will practice TEM sample preparation and TEM imaging with a sample from their own project. Lab space limits the number of participants to 8\, chosen by motivation and project aim. Write a short project description\, motivation for participating and what sample you would like to bring for the course. Fixation and plastic embedding take time\, therefore one test-sample should be brought to be prepared before the course\, and a new test-sample is brought for the first day. \n\n\n\nIn addition\, a small presentation about an EM-project idea of your own should be prepared and presented on the last day. \n\n\n\nParticipants should attend all theoretical and practical parts of the course to receive a certificate of 1\,5 hp. \n\n\n\nPre-requisite criterion: Basic EM course at UCEM or previous equal experiences with EM methods. \n\n\n\nTeachers: Sara Henriksson\, Agnieszka Ziolkowska\, Narin Mohamad and Linda Sandblad \n\n\n\nContact: linda.sandblad@umu.se \n\n\n\nApplication deadline: 27 March 2024. \n\n\n\nMore Information and registration

However\, a high-quality protein structure is required and often the protein is treated as fully or partially rigid. Here we develop an AI system that can predict the fully flexible all-atom structure of protein-ligand complexes directly\, given a multiple sequence alignment representation of the protein\, protein pocket information\, and a SMILES string representing the ligand.14:10Integrating single-cell transcriptomics with cellular phenotypesJoan Camuñas\, University of Gothenburg14:40Thermodynamics-informed modeling of biochemical reaction and regulation networksEdda Klipp\, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin15:20Coffee Break15:50Tumor biology using multiomicsAnders Ståhlberg\, University of Gothenburg16:10Multiomics – state of art data generation and analysis at NGIMattias Ormestad and Franziska Bonath\, National Genomics InfrastructureMultiomics projects can span over long time frames\, sometimes years\, until all data is created. Often sequencing is an integral part and is outsourced to a core facility like NGI. For projects in which data generation is performed by different groups\, it is crucial that important information about library preparation\, sequencing and analysis is recorded and available to all other participants. Therefore\, NGI applies quality control measures and reports important metadata to ensure that our users can use our data with confidence even years after data generation.16:30Data-Driven Microscopy: the automation of end-to-end imaging workflowsElisabet Carlsohn and Rafael Camacho\, SciLifeLab/University of GothenburgBiological complexity mandates comprehensive imaging for statistically significant results. Manual operation impedes large dataset acquisition\, affecting reproducibility. Smart microscopy\, integrating image analysis and computer-controlled microscopes\, streamlines workflows. At GU’s Centre for Cellular Imaging\, we offer open-access “smart microscopy” services optimizing data management with next-gen file formats\, ome-zarr\, community-driven visualization tools\, napari\, and collaborative platforms\, webknossos. This ensures efficient resource utilization in the era of data-driven life sciences.17:00Tour to SciLifeLab units in Gothenburg Optional\, sign up in registration form18:00Dinner for CMB fellows and experts\, and speakers\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nFriday\, April 26\nApril 2607:30Bus transport to Astra Zeneca Conference Centre in Mölndal08:00Visitor registration Astra Zeneca Conference Centre in Mölndal08:25IntroductionOla Engkvist\, AstraZeneca & Margit Mahlapuu\, University of Gothenburg08:30Empowering data-driven innovations in Life Sciences: A journey with GU VenturesKlementina Österberg\, GU Ventures & Carl-Peter Mattsson\, GU VenturesKlementina Österberg CEO & Carl-Peter Mattsson Investment director at GU Ventures will present their experiences and the journeys to create successful new business in collaborations with investors\, industry and the eco system.

SUMMARY:[The Svedberg seminar] Genetics of Type 2 Diabetes: Advances\, Prospects\, and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:Benjamin F. Voight \n\n\n\nAssociate Professor\, Pharmacology and GeneticsUniversity of Pennsylvania – Perelman School of Medicine\, USA \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBio\n\n\n\nBen Voight received his PhD from the University of Chicago\, with postdoctoral training at Massachusetts General Hospital\, staying on at the Broad Institute as a research scientist. He is currently an Associate Professor at the University of Pennsylvania in the Department of Systems Pharmacology and Translational Therapeutics\, and the Department of Genetics. As a human geneticist\, research from his group focuses on understanding the genetic\, biological\, and evolutionary basis of metabolic phenotypes in human populations\, particularly diabetes\, cardiovascular\, and liver disease. Recent data scientific efforts focus on new association studies for discovery using biobank-scale data (e.g.\, the Million Veteran Program)\, post-association study analyses to understand the genetic architecture of disease and ultimately the underlying causal variants\, and quantitative trait locus mapping for expression and chromatic accessibility using primary pancreas and liver data sets. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGenetics of Type 2 Diabetes: Advances\, Prospects\, and Challenges\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nType 2 diabetes is a heterogeneous disease that develops through diverse pathophysiological processes and molecular mechanisms. Elucidating the processes and mechanisms by identifying new loci associated with disease\, the underlying causal variants and genes\, and the cell types of action are areas of current focus by the research community. I will describe recent contributions by the Type 2 Diabetes Global Genomic Initiative\, our newly minted consortium focused on expanding locus discovery across diverse ancestries\, understanding physiological mechanism and prediction of susceptibility to complications through genetic subtyping\, and nomination of putative causal genes and mechanism through statistical colocalization. I will also briefly discuss prospects for exciting potential advances in the near term from new data types and improved computational methods\, as well as my perceptions of open challenges and potential thoughts on how to take those on – ultimately to understand disease etiology and to generate prospects for therapeutic intervention. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHost: Marcel den Hoed marcel.den_hoed@igp.uu.se UU

SUMMARY:New insights into the lateral organization of biological membranes: Investigating the role of membrane dipole potential and the midplane interface
DESCRIPTION:Seminar by Frederick A. Heberle\, Department of Chemistry\, University of Tennessee\, Knoxville\, TN\, USA \n\n\n\nAbstract\n\n\n\nCells can dynamically alter the spatial organization of lipids and proteins in the plasma membrane to regulate processes including cell signaling. The size and morphology of membrane domains\, and how these depend on lipid composition\, have drawn attention as potentially key variables in these processes. Model membrane studies have proven invaluable for elucidating the influence of phospholipid chains and headgroups\, as well as cholesterol concentration\, on membrane properties and phase behavior. Using this kind of bottom-up approach\, my group employs a diverse set of biophysical techniques including fluorescence microscopy and spectroscopy\, small-angle neutron scattering\, and cryogenic electron microscopy to characterize the phase behavior of lipid bilayer mixtures. In this talk\, I will show how two important yet poorly understood features of lipid membranes—namely\, the membrane dipole potential and the midplane interface of a compositionally asymmetric bilayer—can profoundly affect lateral lipid organization. \n\n\n\nZoom link

SUMMARY:Catalyzing Confidence: A Novel Strategy for Enhancing DEL Hit Validation in Drug Discovery
DESCRIPTION:Drug Discovery Seminars: Catalyzing Confidence: A Novel Strategy for Enhancing DEL Hit Validation in Drug Discovery \n\n\n\nPresenter: Dr Stefan Geschwindner\, PhD\, Director Biophysics\, AstraZeneca\, Mölndal\, Sweden \n\n\n\nHost: Pauliina Turunen\, Unit Target Protein Engineering (TPE)\, SciLifeLab DDD \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract\n\n\n\nIn the realm of drug discovery\, validating hits derived from DNA-encoded library (DEL) screening is an indispensable step. This process necessitates the resynthesis and retesting of compounds to ascertain the consistency of observed activity while mitigating experimental artifacts. However\, the complexity arises from the fact that DNA barcodes in DEL libraries encode synthetic routes rather than chemical structures. This intricacy often leads to challenges in identifying genuine actives\, primarily due to incomplete chemical transformations during encoding\, resulting in low validation rates. \n\n\n\nIn response\, we will present a novel strategy for DEL hit validation. We will elucidate our approach\, which prominently features on-DNA compound resynthesis\, mirroring the methods employed during initial library synthesis. This seamlessly integrates with subsequent hit validation endeavors by using highly sensitivity surface-based biosensing in combination with a novel assay format. We will illustrate affinity correlations between on-DNA and off-DNA compounds\, offer insights into assay development\, and emphasize the utilization of enhanced sensitivity to allow us to detect low-abundancy on-DNA compounds. We will describe a systematic framework for DEL hit validation\, enhancing the identification of genuine binders with unwavering confidence and heightened sensitivity for drug discovery. \n\n\n\nSpeakers biography\n\n\n\nDr. Stefan Geschwindner is currently a Director at AstraZeneca R&D Gothenburg in Sweden where he is heading the Biophysics department within Discovery Sciences. He obtained his Ph.D. at the University of Frankfurt/Germany working predominantly with NMR to elucidate protein structures. After his Ph.D. he joined the Astra Structural Chemistry Laboratory with focus on protein engineering and characterization and helped to implement a variety of different biophysical methods and technologies in the early drug discovery process. Before moving into his current role\, he had different roles as Team leader in Protein Engineering and as Principal Scientist in Biophysics. His over 50 peer-reviewed publications are frequently cited leading to an h-index of 26.

SUMMARY:[The Svedberg seminar] - Multilevel drift and selection in the evolution of prokaryotic plasmids
DESCRIPTION:Tal Dagan \n\n\n\nProfessorInstitute of general microbiology\, Kiel University\, Germany. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBio\n\n\n\nProf. Tal Dagan graduated her PhD in 2005 and moved to Germany for her postdoctoral studies. Since 2013 she is a professor of microbiology at Kiel University. Her main research interest is microbial genome evolution via lateral gene transfer with a focus on the evolution of prokaryotic plasmids \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMultilevel drift and selection in the evolution of prokaryotic plasmids\n\n\n\nPlasmids are an extrachromosomal genetic elements that populate prokaryote cells. Due to their interaction with a hosting cell\, drift and selection operate on plasmid alleles at two hierarchical levels: the collective of plasmids within the host and the collective of cells within the host population. The effect of these two levels on plasmid evolution remains understudied. Using experimental evolution approach integrated with phylogenomic reconstruction we found that: i) drift and selection at the level of the host population leads to contrasting effects on the plasmid fitness and ii) segregational drift of plasmid alleles during cell division constrains the rate of plasmid evolution. Our findings may apply for the evolution of other extrachromosomal genetic elements having a similar population structure. Focusing on plasmids\, our research thus uncovers general principles in the evolution of autonomously replicating genetic elements. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHost: Maliheh Mehrshad maliheh.mehrshad@slu.se\, SLU and Helen Wang helen.wang@imbim.uu.se  UU

SUMMARY:Architecture of Active Human Enhancers and Molecular Features That Drive\, Long-Range\, Highly-regulated Transcription
DESCRIPTION:Campus Solna Spotlight Seminar series welcomes Professor John Lis from Cornell university to Stockholm to present his outstanding work. \n\n\n\nJohn Lis is a Professor in the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics. He did his graduate research at Brandeis University and received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry in 1975. His postdoctoral work focused on Drosophila gene regulation and chromosome structure at Stanford University\, during which time he was supported by a fellowship from the Helen Hay Whitney Foundation. Dr. Lis joined the faculty at Cornell in 1978. His research program has been supported by the National Institutes of Health\, including a MERIT Award\, March of Dimes\, American Cancer Society\, Cornell Biotechnology Institute\, and a Proctor and Gamble University Exploratory Research Grant. \n\n\n\nAbstract\n\n\n\nMechanisms of Transcriptional Regulation of Drosophila & Mammalian Genomes \n\n\n\nTranscription by RNA Polymerase II (Pol II)\, the enzyme responsible for all mRNA synthesis\, is highly regulated by protein factors at multiple steps in the transcription cycle. Two critical regulatory steps\, whose regulatory integration is critical for the sophisticated gene regulation seen in multicellular eukaryotes\, are 1) the recruitment of Pol II to promoters where it rapidly initiates transcription and can enter into a promoter-proximal\, paused state 20-50 base pairs from the initiation site; and 2) the release of paused Pol II into productive elongation. Promoter-proximal pausing is dependent on protein complexes DSIF (DRB Sensitivity Inducing Factor) and NELF (Negative Elongation Factor) bind to Pol II early in transcription to stabilize pausing. Pause release occurs upon phosphorylation of Pol II\, DSIF and NELF by the Cdk9\, Cyclin T1 heterodimer P-TEFb (Positive Transcription Elongation Factor b). Several elongation factors\, e.g.\, PAF1 and Spt6\, engage with Pol II in its transition from its promoter-proximal pause to productive elongation. Although Pol II pausing is a key step in transcription regulation and has been extensively studied\, the molecular mechanisms of pausing and pause release to productive elongation are far from being completely understood. Furthermore\, recent studies have led to competing molecular mechanisms on the role of promoter-proximal pausing in the control of transcription. In this seminar\, I will describe the evolution of our understanding of transcription regulation as well as describe our latest efforts to advance and resolve this understanding using a variety of state-of-the-art genomic and optical methods in Drosophila and mammals.
