Any prior registrations remains valid. \n\n\n\nCharlotta Ljungman is senior consultant and associate professor in cardiology working at Sahlgrenska University Gothenburg. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHer research involves aspects of heart failure and cardiomyopathy and she is the founder of Sahlgrenska Cardiomyopathy Center. She is also the chair of the Swedish heart failure registry (Swede-HF) \n\n\n\nregister to receive zoom link\n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\nPrecision phenotyping has been suggested to find new subtypes and biomarkers in heart failure and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)\, the most common cardiomyopathy\, and were the cause in 50% of the cases is unknown. Therefore\, the aim of this project is to combine proteomics and metabolomics to: \n\n\n\n\nUnderstand cardiac energy metabolism in heart failure and DCM.\n\n\n\nFind subtypes and biomarkers by multimodal precision phenotyping with proteomics and integration of data\n\n\n\n\nOnce established\, the precision phenotyping approach may allow identification of patients/subtypes at greatest risk\, find new biomarkers and allow intervention and personalized follow-up of high-risk individuals.  \n\n\n\nThe aim will be achieved by investigating cardiac energy metabolism (uptake and release) and proteomic profile in relation to cardiac function at rest and during exercise\, in patients in comparison to healthy controls.  Patients undergoing right heart catheterization (RHC) with the diagnosis of heart failure and DCM without metabolic disease are included in a prospective mechanistic case control study of cardiac energetics; the MEtabolic CHAracterization of patients with Dilated cardiomyopathy (MECHAD) study. Age and sex matched controls without heart failure undergoing electrophysiological examination are included. Arterial blood supply tissues and organs with oxygen and metabolites for energy and venous blood carry the metabolic by-products and carbon oxide from tissues and organs. This allows to calculate uptake and release of metabolites and oxygen through arteriovenous approach by simultaneous sampling in artery (to the heart) and the coronary sinus (from the heart) when performing RHC and calculate cardiac energy metabolism and collect samples for proteomics profiling. Patients undergo clinical examinations including medical history\, alcohol use disorders identification test\, Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire\, ECG\, blood pressure\, Transthoracical echocardiography (TTE) and Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). All patients are followed for 12 months. \n\n\n\nClinical Talks returns with a new season! \n\n\n\nAfter seven successful seasons and over seventy dedicated speakers\, we are excited to continue showcasing the contributions of our diverse clinical\, academic\, and industry Life Science community. This season will feature ten insightful talks\, following our well-established format. \n\n\n\nThe overarching theme is “How to Achieve Feasible Implementation.” Sessions will be held monthly on Fridays from 09:00 to 09:30 am via Zoom\, with occasional exceptions. Each talk will be followed by an engaging Q&A session\, moderated by standing host Rikard Fred\, alongside a guest moderator with subject matter expertise to enrich the discussion. \n\n\n\nIn today’s rapidly evolving post-pandemic landscape\, it is crucial to explore how academic\, clinical\, and industry research—combined with technological advancements—can drive practical and sustainable solutions. Join us for an opportunity to gain fresh insights\, expand your knowledge\, and connect with experts shaping the future of Life Sciences! \n\n\n\nClinical Talks are organized by the SciLifeLab’s Precision Medicine Capability URL:https://www.scilifelab.se/event/precision-phenotyping-in-dilated-cardiomyopathy/ LOCATION:Online event via Zoom CATEGORIES:Event ORGANIZER;CN="Clinical Talks":MAILTO:precisionmedicine@scilifelab.se END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20250324T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20250328T170000 DTSTAMP:20260408T005541 CREATED:20250110T131412Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250304T085100Z UID:10001452-1742803200-1743181200@www.scilifelab.se SUMMARY:Introduction to bioinformatics using NGS data DESCRIPTION:National workshop for PhD students\, postdocs\, researchers\, and other employees within Swedish academia\, introducing the analysis of next generation sequencing data. \n\n\n\nResponsible teachers: Malin Larsson\, Martin Dahlö\, Roy Francis \n\n\n\nContact information: edu.intro-ngs@nbis.se   \n\n\n\nImportant dates\n\n\n\nApplication opens: 13-Jan-2025 \n\n\n\nApplication closes: 23-Feb-2025 \n\n\n\nConfirmation to accepted students: Week 9\, 2025 \n\n\n\nCourse fee\n\n\n\nThis online training event is subsidized by academic grants and thereby free of charge for academic participants.

These policies often lack clear\, actionable guidelines for how researchers can respond to requirements while ensuring they meet research community\, national\, and international standards. This webinar will briefly summarise the current landscape of selected open science policies. Through real-world examples from PLOS and SciLifeLab\, attendees will gain practical insights into how these policies are being implemented and how to align their work with both institutional and national requirements and monitoring initiatives. The session will offer valuable tools and strategies for ensuring compliance and promoting open science practices in a way that is both manageable and impactful. \n\n\n\nTime is in CEST \n\n\n\nregister here\n\n\n\nLink to the recording on YouTube \n\n\n\nLink to the slides on SciLifeLab Data Repository \n\n\n\nPresenters: \n\n\n\nNonia Pariente\, Editor-in-Chief\, PLOS Biology \n\n\n\nAgata Morka\, Regional Director\, Publishing Development (Europe) at PLOS \n\n\n\nChristopher Erdmann\, Head of Open Science\, SciLifeLab \n\n\n\nCo-hosts: \n\n\n\nParul Tewatia\, Project coordinator (FAIR Metadata and Semantic Technologies)\, SciLifeLab \n\n\n\nSuné Joubert\, Project coordinator (Open Science Communities and Metrics)\, SciLifeLab \n\n\n\nOrganizers: \n\n\n\nThis event is co-hosted by SciLifeLab and PLOS.

Her research explores lipid biochemistry\, enzymology\, and drug metabolism\, with a focus on bioactive metabolites and their roles in inflammation and neurodegenerative diseases. She earned her Ph.D. in chemistry from Princeton University\, specializing in functional protein design\, followed by postdoctoral research utilizing biophysical tools to study membrane proteins in Nanodiscs. Dr. Das has made significant contributions to understanding cytochrome P450 enzymes and their role in lipid oxidation\, leading to advances in drug discovery and biomedical applications. Her work has been widely published in high-impact journals\, and she has received numerous grants and awards. Her national accolades include the NIH R35 Outstanding Researcher Award\, the E.L.R. Stokstad Award\, and the Mary Swartz Rose Young Investigator Award from the American Society for Nutrition. Beyond her research\, she serves on the Editorial Advisory Boards of Molecular Pharmacology and Frontiers in Pharmacology. Through her work\, Dr. Das continues to advance the fields of lipid biochemistry and cannabinoid metabolism\, translating fundamental science into real-world applications for human health. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nNavigating Lipid Metabolism:  From Basic Molecular Mechanisms to Cellular Symphony\n\n\n\nLipids are vital for cellular functions\, acting as structural components\, signaling molecules\, and energy sources. Their metabolism\, particularly through cytochrome P450s and other oxidizing enzymes\, plays a key role in inflammation and disease. This study uses biochemical\, analytical\, and biophysical methods to examine the metabolism of endocannabinoids and cannabinoids by membrane-bound cytochrome P450s\, stabilized in nanoscale lipid bilayers (Nanodiscs). The pharmacological properties of lipid metabolites are evaluated\, focusing on their impact on inflammation and pain receptor modulation. The study also explores the metabolism of minor cannabinoids like cannabinol (CBN)\, cannabigerol (CBG)\, and cannabichromene (CBC)\, which provide medicinal benefits without THC’s psychoactive effects. Computational modeling helps further understand binding mechanisms\, and in vitro studies confirm the bioactivity of these metabolites. This integrated approach enhances our understanding of lipid metabolism and cannabinoid pharmacology\, supporting the development of therapeutic strategies for pain and inflammatory diseases. \n\n\n\nHost: Peter Kasson peter.kasson@icm.uu.se URL:https://www.scilifelab.se/event/the-svedberg-seminar-aditi-das/ LOCATION:BMC Room C8:301\, Husargatan 3\, Uppsala\, Sweden CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.scilifelab.se/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Picture1-The-Svedberg.png ORGANIZER;CN="The Svedberg Seminar Series":MAILTO:thesvedberg@scilifelab.uu.se END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20250408T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20250408T130000 DTSTAMP:20260408T005541 CREATED:20250325T083306Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250326T123411Z UID:10001513-1744113600-1744117200@www.scilifelab.se SUMMARY:Umeå seminar series: Beyond the Command Line - HPC2N and the OpenOnDemand Experience DESCRIPTION:“Beyond the Command Line – HPC2N and the OpenOnDemand Experience” \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Björn Torkelsson\, System engineer and Assistant director\, High Performance Computing Centre North (HPC2N) \n\n\n\nAbstract: This presentation will provide an update on the latest developments at HPC2N.

But while rejection is common\, it can still feel deeply personal and discouraging. Why does rejection sting so much\, and how can we navigate the emotions and self-doubt that come with it? In this seminar\, we’ll explore how common rejection in academia is\, the psychological impact of academic rejection\, strategies for maintaining resilience\, and ways to reframe setbacks as opportunities for growth. \n\n\n\nWe will begin with a ~ 20 min talk\, held in Solna and over zoom. Then proceed with a reflection and discussion held on-site. We encourage other sites to form watch parties\, by listening in together to the talk and then hold their own discussion afterwards. Hopefully seeding many local chapters of CSI. \n\n\n\nTo help facilitate discussion and reflection\, consider the following starter questions: \n\n\n\nAwareness: where do we experience rejection in our lives already? \n\n\n\nAnalysis: how well do I currently interact with rejection? \n\n\n\nAlternative: how could we relate to rejection in academia\, for ourselves and others? \n\n\n\nAction: how will knowledge of rejection in academia change my decisions going forward?

To simulate minutes to hours of biological time\, we sacrifice atomic resolution and instead use coarse-grained hybrid simulations. In these models\, large structures like membranes are projected onto a 3D cubic lattice\, macromolecules like proteins are individual particles\, and small molecules like metabolites are tracked as dynamic concentrations. Our most complete model is the genetically minimal bacterium in which we successfully simulate an entire cell cycle from start to division in 3D including the entire metabolic network and expression of its 493 genes. Organisms of more practical interest are significantly more complicated\, and many challenges still need to be discovered and overcome to model them. I will present two ongoing efforts in the areas of cell metabolism and mRNA splicing. One of the greatest challenges in metabolic modelling is determining a set of kinetic parameters. We present a method to determine sets of thermodynamically realistic kinetic parameters for enzymatic reactions in whole-cell metabolic models. The fate of a eukaryotic cell depends on proper maturation of its pre-mRNA through splicing. Variations in splicing of pre-mRNA from a single gene (alternative splicing) result in multiple isoforms of mature mRNA\, each producing a different protein with distinct biological activities. We model the kinetics of splicing to predict the frequencies at which the isoforms occur and demonstrate the model’s capabilities and limitations using known splicing isoforms from the human genome. \n\n\n\nContact: Erik Lindahl (erik.lindahl@scilifelab.se) URL:https://www.scilifelab.se/event/bringing-cells-to-life-of-the-computer-whole-cell-modeling-from-minimal-bacteria-to-human-cells/ LOCATION:Air&Fire\, SciLifeLab Stockholm\, Tomtebodavägen 23A\, Solna\, Sweden CATEGORIES:Event END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20250417T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20250417T130000 DTSTAMP:20260408T005541 CREATED:20250109T102528Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250413T200859Z UID:10001440-1744891200-1744894800@www.scilifelab.se SUMMARY:Campus Solna Seminar Series: Ernest Cheng-De Liu & David Unnersjö-Jess DESCRIPTION:Welcome to join the Campus Solna Seminar Series – an initiative to promote the fantastic science ongoing at Campus Solna and hopefully forge more internal communication and collaboration between within Campus Solna.

His research focuses on the molecular foundations of mammalian phenotypic evolution\, leveraging various comparative and functional genomics approaches. After earning his Ph.D. at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology\, he conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Chicago as an EMBO Fellow. His interdisciplinary lab\, which he initially established in Lausanne (Switzerland)\, has pioneered large-scale studies of gene expression changes and their phenotypic implications across various biological dimensions\, including organs\, species\, developmental stages\, gene expression layers\, coding and noncoding gene types\, splicing isoforms\, and sexes. Prof. Kaessmann has published extensively in leading journals and has received numerous prestigious honors\, including three ERC grants\, EMBO membership\, the Friedrich Miescher Award\, and the Cloëtta Prize. Beyond his research\, he teaches and mentors at Heidelberg University and maintains active collaborations with clinical researchers and major scientific institutions worldwide.Collectively\, Henrik Kaessmann’s transformative work has profoundly advanced our understanding of the molecular foundations of mammalian phenotypic evolution and the driving forces of natural selection. The remarkable scope of his lab‘s major findings demonstrates how large-scale genomics approaches can yield fundamental biological insights and test key hypotheses. Notably\, his interdisciplinary research has had far-reaching impact beyond evolution and development\, as evidenced by extensive citations across diverse fields. His findings\, including the observation of functional divergence of many genes between humans and mice\, and unique gene expression (i.e.\, transcriptome\, epigenome\, translatome) datasets  spanning key organs and developmental stages in humans and various model and non-model species\, have become indispensable resources for biomedical research in general. To maximize their impact\, his team has created interactive public databases that ensure optimal usability for the scientific community. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe origins and functional evolution of amniote sex chromosomes\n\n\n\n In our lab\, we carry out large-scale studies of gene expression changes and their phenotypic implications across various biological dimensions (e.g.\, species\, organs\, developmental stages\, gene expression layers\, coding and noncoding gene types\, splicing isoforms\, and sexes). In this seminar\, I will focus on our endeavors to unravel the origins of the different amniote sex chromosome systems\, which emerged from ancestral sets of autosomes. We have\, for example\, unveiled the origins of the sex chromosomes of therian (i.e.\, placental and marsupial) and monotreme mammals\, and those of birds and lizards. We then scrutinized the evolutionary and functional consequences of sex chromosome differentiations (i.e.\, the degeneration of Y or W chromosomes in males or females\, respectively) and the associated selective forces. Overall\, our work has illuminated the evolution of the specific gene contents on the respective sex chromosomes\, the origins and consequences of male (meiotic) sex chromosome inactivation\, and the forces and mechanisms underlying the evolution of the various amniote dosage compensation mechanisms\, including the drivers underlying the emergence of the female X inactivation mechanism in therians. I will present published and unpublished highlights of our work \n\n\n\nHost: Leif Andersson leif.andersson@imbim.uu.se URL:https://www.scilifelab.se/event/the-svedberg-seminar-henrik-kaessmann/ LOCATION:BMC Room C8:301\, Husargatan 3\, Uppsala\, Sweden CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.scilifelab.se/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Picture1-The-Svedberg.png ORGANIZER;CN="The Svedberg Seminar Series":MAILTO:thesvedberg@scilifelab.uu.se END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20250423T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20250423T180000 DTSTAMP:20260408T005541 CREATED:20250318T091324Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250417T045505Z UID:10001490-1745409600-1745431200@www.scilifelab.se SUMMARY:KI-SciLifeLab symposium 2025 DESCRIPTION:Join us at the fourth annual KI-SciLifeLab symposium.
