DESCRIPTION:Beskrivning av samhällsfrågan \n\n\n\nAI och avancerad dataanalys kan bidra till tidigare upptäckt\, mer träffsäkra behandlingsbeslut och bättre uppföljning i cancervården. Men i dag hindrar fragmenterade IT-system\, otydliga regelverk och begränsad datadelning utvecklingen. Hur skapar vi en mer datadriven cancervård? \n\n\n\nUtökad information om evenemanget\n\n\n\nCancer är en av vår tids största folkhälsoutmaningar och antalet cancerfall väntas öka i takt med en åldrande befolkning. Samtidigt utvecklas nya diagnostiska metoder\, behandlingar och datadrivna verktyg i snabb takt. För att dessa innovationer ska komma patienter till nytta behöver vården kunna använda hälsodata mer effektivt\, säkert och strukturerat än i dag. Sverige har goda förutsättningar genom nationella register\, hög digital mognad och stark forskning. Trots detta finns betydande hinder för hur hälsodata kan delas\, analyseras och användas i klinisk verksamhet\, kvalitetsuppföljning och forskning. Bristande interoperabilitet\, otydliga regelverk och fragmenterade IT-system gör att potentialen i AI och avancerad dataanalys inte utnyttjas fullt ut. Seminariet diskuterar hur AI och bättre användning av hälsodata kan bidra till tidigare upptäckt\, mer individanpassad diagnostik och bättre behandlingsbeslut – och hur Sverige kan dra nytta av initiativ som European Health Data Space. \n\n\n\nRead more\n\n\n\nMedverkande\n\n\n\nNinnie Borendal Wodlin\, Vårddirektör \, Region Östergötland \n\n\n\nPäivi Östling\, Docent\, SciLifeLab \n\n\n\nKarin Liljelund\, Patientföreträdare\, Lungcancerföreningen\, Patientrådet FOCU.SE-trial\, Patientrådet Karolinska  \n\n\n\nUlrika Nyberg\, Head of Strategic Partnerships\, Mavatar \n\n\n\nLisa Kirsebom\, Moderator \n\n\n\nFredrik Lindén\, Seniorkonsult\, CoCentric URL:https://www.scilifelab.se/event/ai-och-halsodata-gar-vi-antligen-fran-vision-till-verklighet-i-cancervarden/ LOCATION:Birgers Gränd 9\, Birgers Gränd 9\, Visby\, Sweden CATEGORIES:Event ORGANIZER;CN="SciLifeLab i Almedalen":MAILTO:events@scilifelab.se END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260625T170000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260625T174500 DTSTAMP:20260618T142220Z CREATED:20260327T123013Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260618T142220Z UID:10001788-1782406800-1782409500@www.scilifelab.se SUMMARY:Oväntade samarbeten – nyckeln till framtidens cancervård och innovation? DESCRIPTION:Beskrivning av samhällsfrågan \n\n\n\nVad kan vi göra tillsammans som ingen aktör klarar ensam? Cancer kräver nya samarbeten över sektorer och gränser. Hur kan Sverige ta en ledande roll Europas samarbete och omsätta innovation till konkret nytta för patienter och samhälle? \n\n\n\nUtökad information om evenemanget\n\n\n\nSverige har starka förutsättningar inom forskning\, vård och innovation\, men står inför utmaningar i att omsätta kunskap till jämlik och effektiv cancervård. Ökat samarbete mellan sektorer och bättre koppling mellan nationella och internationella initiativ är avgörande för att möta framtidens behov. SweCan är Sveriges nationella Cancer Mission Hub inom ramen för regeringens uppdrag och samlar aktörer från akademi\, hälso- och sjukvård\, näringsliv och civilsamhälle. Genom att möjliggöra nya samarbeten och stärka koordineringen kan Sverige ta en tydligare roll i EU:s Cancer Mission och bidra till global utveckling inom life science.

How cells coordinate membrane protein folding with selective export from the ER remains poorly understood. In this seminar\, I will discuss recent structural and mechanistic insights into the role of trafficking receptors in membrane protein biogenesis. Using cryo-electron microscopy alongside biochemical and cell-biological approaches\, we show how cornichon trafficking receptors recognise membrane-protein cargoes\, remodel the surrounding membrane\, and recruit the COPII machinery to drive ER export. These studies reveal trafficking receptors as active regulators of membrane protein maturation and provide a structural framework for understanding how membrane proteins are assembled and trafficked within the cell.

DESCRIPTION:Heidi Howard \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\nWhen: August 21\, 10:00-11:00 \n\n\n\nWhere: Zoom http://meet.nbis.se/ainw \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Heidi HowardSenior Researcher\, Industrial Biotechnology\, Chalmers and ELSI lead at Scilifelab and DDLS \n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\nThe general question I am currently working on is: where do values like transparency\, accountability\, scientific integrity\, replicability of science\, respect for copyright\, respect for privacy\, and respect for the planet fit into the current rush to develop Artificial General Intelligence?  \n\n\n\nIt does not take graduate work in ethics to see that in the last four years since OpenAI launched GPT-3.5 and that a number of other big and not-so-big players have spent loads of money\, time\, and GPUs/CPUs on developing large language models (LLMs\, some supposedly on their way to AGI)\,  that  these values are being eroded. Many (most?) of the decisions are being taken by a few companies holding an inordinate amount of power\, and these shifts are potentially being normalised by expert and lay publics who may not know or feel they have any influence to push against the wave of change.  Based on examples taken from past (public) work developing evaluations of large language models for bioweapons information risks and some of my current work on the public discourse around the benefits and risks of developing A(G)I\, this presentation will address scientific and ethical details that are easily overlooked in the current A(G)I rush. \n\n\n\n*song title by Dylan B/Zimmerman RA.

Ligands such as small molecules\, peptides or ions trigger conformational changes that regulate downstream signalling cascades. This classic\, 3D-centric view is challenged by the finding that nearly half of the human proteome is predicted to be intrinsically disordered. \n\n\n\nMany membrane receptors\, including most Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels\, contain large intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) whose dynamic nature has severely hampered structural characterization. Therefore\, the contribution of IDRs to signal sensing remains poorly understood and the structural dimensions of TRP channels are notoriously underestimated. \n\n\n\nHere\, using an integrated structural biology approach\, we show that disordered channel regions contribute to multipartite signalling networks of plasma membrane and lysosomal TRP ion channels and play crucial roles in lipid-dependent functional regulation. This work thus provides a conceptual blueprint how complex membrane receptors are regulated by  URL:https://www.scilifelab.se/event/lipid-regulation-of-trp-channels-more-than-meets-the-eye/ LOCATION:Gamma 2 Lunchroom\, SciLifeLab\, Tomtebodavägen 23\, Solna\, Sweden CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.scilifelab.se/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Campus-solna-seminar-picture.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Spotlight Seminar Series":MAILTO:events@scilifelab.se END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260826T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260826T160000 DTSTAMP:20260821T121552Z CREATED:20260821T121204Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260821T121552Z UID:10001877-1787756400-1787760000@www.scilifelab.se SUMMARY:Blueprint to Study the Entire Spatial Cellular Metabolic Landscape DESCRIPTION:This month’s Mass Spectrometry Imaging webinar features Prof. Ramon Sun from the University of Florida College of Medicine\, USA.

Recent work from his lab identified synthetic cell programs to enhance cell and gene therapies and developed new methods to identify causal noncoding variants and their target genes at scale. Dr. Sanjana is a recipient of the Presidential Early Career Award for Engineers and Scientists\, AAAS Wachtel Prize for Cancer Research\, the NIH’s New Innovator Award\, the Cancer Research Institute Technology Impact Award\, the DARPA Young Faculty Award\, the Kimmel Scholar Award\, the MRA Young Investigator Award\, and also is a Leichtung Family Investigator of the Brain and Behavior Foundation. \n\n\n\nGenome-scale screens to program new T cell states for next-generation immunotherapy\n\n\n\nThe engineering of patient T-cells for adoptive cell therapies has revolutionized the treatment of several cancer types\, but further improvements are needed to increase response and cure rates. T-cell–mediated anti-tumor immunity relies on potent cytotoxic effector function\, whereas durable tumor clearance depends on stemness-driven long-term persistence. However\, endogenous T-cell differentiation programs render these phenotypes mutually exclusive: Effector maturation physiologically depletes the stem-like reservoir. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells\, despite their impact on blood cancer treatment\, remain bound by this intrinsic biological trade-off. \n\n\n\nTo identify new genetic programs for effective cell therapy\, we overexpressed ~12\,000 barcoded human open reading frames (ORFs) and measured their impact on proliferation of primary human CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells. When overexpressed\, the top-ranked ORF\, lymphotoxin beta receptor (LTBR)\, induced profound transcriptional and epigenomic remodelling\, increasing T-cell effector functions\, as well as resistance to exhaustion in chronic stimulation settings\, via constitutive activation of the canonical NF-kB pathway. \n\n\n\nUsing this gene\, we develop a novel CAR that decouples effector differentiation from the loss of stemness. Direct fusion of the intracellular domain of the T-cell proliferation driver LTBR to the CD3ζ tail induces a shared pro-inflammatory effector program in both CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ CAR T cells. In the CD4⁺ compartment\, this effector differentiation is accompanied by an overlay of stemness-associated gene modules (TCF7 and LEF1)\, resulting in a superimposed state where pro-inflammatory and self-renewal programs coexist. This dual phenotype is dependent on the CAR configuration and is not recapitulated by LTBR co-expression. In CAR T cells engineered from diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients\, the LTBR-fusion CAR sustains tumor suppression after several rounds of repetitive tumor challenge. This lineage-specific phenotype is consistent with clinical observations linking durable remissions to persistent\, effector-competent CD4⁺ CAR T cells. Together\, our CAR engineering approach overrides canonical T cell differentiation constraints to yield dysfunction-resistant therapies\, elucidating the functional basis of lineage-specific CD4⁺ CAR T-cell responses. \n\n\n\nHost: Sanja Vickovic sanja.vickovic@scilifelab.uu.se UU URL:https://www.scilifelab.se/event/the-svedberg-seminar-neville-sanjana/ LOCATION:BMC Room C4:305

This work is part of an ongoing collaboration with Prof. Tuuli Lappalainen (KTH and SciLifeLab).  \n\n\n\nSecond\, while thousands of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcribed\, less than 1% have established roles. Using RNA-targeting CRISPR-Cas13 screens\, we evaluated 5\,500 lncRNAs across five cell lines and identified 788 essential lncRNAs. Most function independently of neighboring protein-coding genes and exhibit dynamic expression during development. Finally\, their expression in primary tumors correlates with patient survival\, highlighting their potential as clinical biomarkers and therapeutic targets. \n\n\n\nBiography\n\n\n\nNeville Sanjana\, PhD\, is a Core Faculty Member at the New York Genome Center and Professor of Biology\, Neuroscience and Physiology at New York University.

Recent experiments show that one common mechanism for such biochemical organization is phase separation of disordered proteins to form compartments with liquid properties. \n\n\n\nThese compartments can subsequently harden to form compartments with new material properties such as gels and glasses. These compartments can be described by principles elucidated from condensed-matter physics and are therefore termed biomolecular condensates. I will discuss potential roles of condensates in organization and robustness of cellular biochemistry and how they fail in neurodegenerative disease\, using aggregation of TDP-43 in ALS as a model. \n\n\n\nregistration\n\n\n\nBio \n\n\n\nThe Hyman lab studies how phase separation impacts the formation of membraneless compartmentalisation of macromolecules inside living cells. Stemming from our work on C.elegans in 2009 (Brangwynne et al. 2009)\, observations over the last decade have shown that many non-membrane compartments have liquid-like properties (Banani et al. 2017). The liquid-like nature of condensates is ascertained using microscopy in cells by observing fusion events\, round shape\, rapid diffusion of components\, and a predictable response to changes in thermodynamic parameters such as temperature. Phase separation phenomena can be used to describe the formation of P granules (Brangwynne et al. 2009)\, nucleoli (Brangwynne et al. 2011)\, stress granules and centrosomes (Brangwynne et al. 2009) and estimates suggest that at least 30% of proteins in the nucleus are in such compartments (Thul et al. 2017). To capture the role of soft matter physics in describing these compartments\, we have termed them biomolecular condensates (Banani et al. 2017). \n\n\n\nFor more details visit: https://hymanlab.org/hyman_lab/research-overview/ URL:https://www.scilifelab.se/event/phase-separation-in-cell-physiology-and-disease/ LOCATION:Air&Fire\, SciLifeLab Stockholm\, Tomtebodavägen 23A\, Solna\, Sweden CATEGORIES:Event ORGANIZER;CN="SciLifeLab Event":MAILTO:events@scilifelab.se END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260908T083000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260908T160000 DTSTAMP:20260604T105601Z CREATED:20260604T105600Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260604T105601Z UID:10001832-1788856200-1788883200@www.scilifelab.se SUMMARY:SciLifeLab & AAAS/Science Publishing Workshop for Junior Researchers 2026 DESCRIPTION:Designed for PhD students and postdocs\, this interactive workshop explores scientific publishing\, peer review\, AI in research communication\, and strategies for publishing in leading journals.

Improving data quality is therefore a key step towards more reproducible research and better alignment with Open Science and FAIR principles. \n\n\n\nIn this session\, we will introduce OpenRefine\, an open-source tool designed to help researchers explore\, clean\, and transform messy tabular data. OpenRefine is particularly useful for working with spreadsheets and datasets containing inconsistencies such as duplicate entries\, varying formats\, or typographical errors. \n\n\n\nWe will begin with a short introduction to the types of data challenges OpenRefine can address\, followed by a live demonstration showing how to work with real data. The demo will highlight key features and how these can be used to efficiently identify and resolve inconsistencies in datasets. \n\n\n\nThe session will conclude with an open Q&A\, providing an opportunity to ask questions and discuss how these approaches can be applied in your own research context. \n\n\n\nNo prior experience with OpenRefine is required.  \n\n\n\nElisavet Torstensson\, SciLifeLab\, Data Steward NBIS- FEGA Sweden Helpdesk Team- Elixir Sweden \n\n\n\nMore information\nThis event is part of the SciLifeLab Open Science seminar series\, an event series by the SciLifeLab Data Centre and NBIS joint Data Management team.The goal of the events in this seminar series is to provide interesting interactive seminars around topics related to Research Data Management and Open Science in general\, and to foster discussions around best practices. \n\n\n\nResearch Data Management (RDM) concerns the organization\, storage\, preservation\, and sharing of data that is collected and analyzed during a research project. Proper planning and management of research data will make project management easier and more efficient while projects are being performed. It also facilitates sharing and allows others to validate as well as reuse the data.Open Science is a set of principles and practices that aim to make scientific research from all fields accessible to everyone for the benefits of scientists and society as a whole. Open science is about making sure not only that scientific knowledge is accessible but also that the production of that knowledge itself is inclusive\, equitable and sustainable. \n\n\n\nThe events are open to everyone working at or affiliated with a Swedish research institute or university. We welcome all researchers\, educational professionals\, staff\, RDM professionals\, and others with an interest in life sciences\, from all university levels. The events are informal and inclusive\, so feel welcome to join and participate in our interesting discussions! \n\n\n\nThe events will be recorded and published openly after the seminars on the SciLifeLab YouTube channel. The slides will be made available at our SciLifeLab Data Repository.More information about SciLifeLab Data Centre and NBIS joint Open Science seminar series: https://www.scilifelab.se/data/scilifelab-data-management-seminar-series/ \n\n\n\nIf you have suggestions for topics or presentations\, please contact us at data-management@scilifelab.seFor more information or inquiries\, please contact us at  data-management@scilifelab.se URL:https://www.scilifelab.se/event/openscience-openrefine/ CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.scilifelab.se/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/DC_seminar-series_background1-1.png ORGANIZER;CN="Open Science Seminar Series":MAILTO:data-management@scilifelab.se LOCATION:https://uu-se.zoom.us/j/66405928096 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260908T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20260908T120000 DTSTAMP:20260820T133310Z CREATED:20260819T112645Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260820T133310Z UID:10001862-1788865200-1788868800@www.scilifelab.se SUMMARY:Webinar on Calls for New Projects in Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery DESCRIPTION:The Chemical Biology Consortium Sweden (CBCS) and the Drug Discovery and Development (DDD) Platform at SciLifeLab invite researchers to submit proposals for new collaborative projects.Chemical biology projectsThe Chemical Biology unit (CBCS) welcomes projects involving: \n\n\n\n\nAssay development for small-molecule screening\n\n\n\nPhenotypic and target-based screening and in silico – virtual screening support\n\n\n\nEnabling chemistry\, including medicinal and computational chemistry\n\n\n\nDrug profiling projects in advanced cell models (patient derived material and 3D cultures)\n\n\n\n\nMany of the projects supported by CBCS involve phenotypic screening addressing basic research\, disease biology but also projects outside human health.

We welcome  Dr Malgorzata Lagisz\, School of Biological SciencesUniversity of Alberta\, Canada presenting “Improving Science with Science: Open Research\, Equity\, and Contributor Recognition” on Sept 9th. \n\n\n\nWhen: Sept 9\, at 15-16 CEST on Zoom \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\nScience faces growing challenges related to reproducibility\, transparency\, equity\, and trust. In this seminar\, I will discuss how Open Science practices and meta-research can work together to improve the reliability and inclusivity of scientific research. Dr Lagisz will introduce key ideas behind the Open Science movement and present examples of meta-research projects from the group and global collaborations investigating research culture\, contributor recognition\, and equity in science. These include large-scale analyses of authorship and acknowledgment practices\, revealing that many important scientific contributions remain poorly recognised and invisible in scholarly databases. Together\, these projects demonstrate how empirical research on science itself can help identify structural barriers and inform practical reforms to improve transparency\, collaboration\, and fairness in research systems. Dr Lagisz will conclude by sharing resources and tools for contributing to a more open\, trustworthy\, and collaborative scientific enterprise. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nShort bio: Dr Malgorzata (“Losia”) Lagisz is an Associate Professor at the University of Alberta. With prior appointments in UK\, New Zealand\, and Australia\, her interdisciplinary research spans ecology\, evolutionary biology\, biomedical science\, environmental studies\, and social science. She uses evidence synthesis (systematic reviews\, meta‑analyses\, systematic maps\, and meta‑epidemiology) to tackle critical questions across disciplines. Dr Lagisz co‑leads a team dedicated to advancing evidence synthesis\, Open Science and equity in research.

In addition\, data in DNA can be rendered stable for long time horizons by the application of nanotechnological preservation technologies\, using both sol-gel as well as metal organic framework approaches. In practical terms\, DNA data storage offers data stability for hundreds of years and data densities exceeding 40 exabytes per gram. While this brings opportunities in the field of cloud storage applications\, our research focuses more on ideas in combining DNA data storage with materials. It is our ultimate goal to give materials a digital identity. We have so far investigated applications in 3d printing\, pharmaceuticals\, construction materials and polymer recycling. I will not only be discussing the technical advantages and limitations\, but will also touch on practicability and technology commercialisation aspects. I will conclude the presentation on a second class of lesser-known digital technologies\, which uses physical and chemical randomness to create unclonable functions\, and allows a discussion of physical randomness in the context of digital cryptography.

Open-source software means code that is not only available\, but also licensed for free use\, modification\, and sharing. This workshop provides an overview of open science and FAIR software practices\, and introduces a practical checklist for open and FAIR research software. Participants will apply these principles in a hands-on tutorial to improve the openness\, transparency\, and reusability of their research code. \n\n\n\n\n17.00: End of the event\nThe event will end at 17.00. Thank you all for participating. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMore information on Research Data Management and Open Science\n\n\n\nResearch Data Management (RDM) concerns the organization\, storage\, preservation\, and sharing of data that is collected and analyzed during a research project. Proper planning and management of research data will make project management easier and more efficient while projects are being performed. It also facilitates sharing and allows others to validate as well as reuse the data. \n\n\n\nOpen Science is a set of principles and practices that aim to make scientific research from all fields accessible to everyone for the benefits of scientists and society as a whole. Open science is about making sure not only that scientific knowledge is accessible but also that the production of that knowledge itself is inclusive\, equitable and sustainable. \n\n\n\nContact information: NBIS\, SciLifeLab Data Centre – Data Management\, and SciLifeLab Linköping.

Wishart from the University of Alberta\, Canada to give a talk at SciLifeLab Campus Solna. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract\n\n\n\nThe chemical exposome constitutes a large and incredibly diverse chemical universe. It includes compounds derived from food\, food additives\, cosmetics\, pharmaceuticals\, consumer products\, dyes\, pesticides\, industrial chemicals\, and environmental pollutants. With more than 20 million compounds estimated to constitute the chemical exposome\, its characterization represents an enormous analytical and computational challenge. In this seminar\, I will describe our efforts to define\, catalogue\, measure\, and predict this vast chemical space. I will first discuss our development and curation of exposome resources\, including T3DB\, FooDB\, the NORMAN Suspect List Exchange\, and SYNCED\, the Synthetic Chemical Exposome Database. Together\, these resources connect known exposure chemicals with their sources\, physicochemical properties\, biological targets\, toxicities\, and health effects. I will then present QUANTEX 600\, our quantitative mass spectrometry assay for measuring hundreds of selected exposome compounds in biospecimens. Although targeted assays provide measurement of known chemicals\, much of the exposome remains unidentified “dark matter.” To address this gap\, we are introducing the concept of in silico exposomics\, an untargeted strategy that combines databases\, artificial intelligence\, spectral prediction\, and analytical chemistry to illuminate the exposome’s dark matter. This concept uses chemical language models (CLMs) and metabolism prediction tools (BioTransformer) to predict novel exposure compounds and their metabolic products. In silico exposomics also involves predicting tandem mass spectra\, chromatographic retention times\, electron-ionization mass spectra\, and retention indices of these predicted or expected compounds\, thereby enabling these unrecognized chemicals to be detected and identified experimentally. I will provide examples of how successful this strategy appears to be and suggestions of where it may lead \n\n\n\nBiography\n\n\n\nDavid Wishart earned his PhD in Molecular Biophysics from Yale University in 1991 and joined the University of Alberta as an assistant professor in 1995\, becoming a full professor in 2003. He is currently a Distinguished University Professor in the Departments of Biological Sciences and Computing Science\, with adjunct appointments in the Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences and the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology. He holds a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Metabolomics and Precision Medicine. Wishart’s multidisciplinary research spans metabolomics\, exposomics\, precision medicine\, precision nutrition\, bioinformatics\, cheminformatics\, structural biology\, artificial intelligence\, robotics and analytical chemistry. His work has enabled the identification and quantification of metabolites in complex biological samples\, the discovery of biomarkers for cancer\, cardiovascular disease\, neurological disorders\, infectious disease\, organ dysfunction and environmental exposure\, and the development of computational tools for predicting molecular structures\, properties\, spectra\, metabolic pathways and biological activities. After pioneering computational approaches for interpreting NMR spectra of biofluids in 1999\, Wishart helped establish metabolomics as a major scientific discipline. In 2005\, he launched the Human Metabolome Project and subsequently created the Human Metabolome Database. His laboratory has developed more than 100 freely accessible databases and software tools\, including HMDB\, DrugBank\, FooDB\, MetaboAnalyst\, CFM-ID\, BioTransformer\, PathBank and NP-MRD\, which are used by millions of researchers worldwide. In 2011\, he co-founded The Metabolomics Innovation Centre (TMIC)\, Canada’s national metabolomics laboratory\, which now includes eight research nodes\, employs more than 30 scientists and houses over $35 million in equipment. He has also helped launch more than a dozen biotechnology companies\, including BioTools\, Chenomx and Molecular You. Wishart has authored or co-authored nearly 700 publications\, received more than 166\,000 citations and attained an h-index of 155. His honours include election to the Royal Society of Canada in 2017\, appointment as Distinguished University Professor in 2018\, the J. Gordin Kaplan Award in 2023\, the NSERC Brockhouse Prize in 2024\, the University Cup and NSERC Herzberg Gold Medal in 2025\, and a Governor General’s Innovation Award in 2026. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nHost: Jonathan Martin jon.martin@aces.su.se URL:https://www.scilifelab.se/event/new-approaches-to-characterize-the-chemical-exposome/ LOCATION:Air&Fire\, SciLifeLab Stockholm\, Tomtebodavägen 23A\, Solna\, Sweden CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.scilifelab.se/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Campus-solna-seminar-picture.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Spotlight Seminar Series":MAILTO:events@scilifelab.se END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
