SUMMARY:Locoregional cancer therapies for uveal melanoma.
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Roger Olofsson Bagge\, Professor och Överläkare \n\n\n\nAvdelningen för Kirurgi\, Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper\, Sahlgrenska Akademin\, Göteborgs Universitet\, Sektionen för Bröst och Melanomkirurgi\, Kirurgi\, Sahlgrenska Universitetssjukhuset \n\n\n\nAbstract \n\n\n\nUveal melanoma is a cancer arising from the eye. Prognosis is poor in that patients often develop liver metastases and no effective treatments are currently available. Our recent phase III randomized trial (SCANDIUM) demonstrated the effectiveness of locoregional treatment with isolated hepatic perfusion (IHP) while our translational research suggests that this treatment can activate the immune system. By sensitizing uveal melanoma to immunotherapy\, efficacy of treatment may be further increased as we showed by combining IHP with modern immunotherapy (SCANDIUM-II). \n\n\n\nThe purpose of this randomized clinical trial\, the SCANDIUM-III trial\, is to further explore treatment efficacy with a novel clinical trial combining a locoregional cancer treatment with modern immunotherapy. The specific aim is to evaluate if the combination of minimal-invasive percutaneous hepatic perfusion together with the checkpoint inhibitors ipilimumab and nivolumab can improve response rate and survival. Patients will be included from all regions of Sweden\, and if achieving clinically significant findings from the trial the procedure will likely be incorporated into clinical practice without major delays. \n\n\n\nA major limitation is that we currently lack predictive and prognostic factors. We therefore aim to perform a multimodal precision medicine approach using ctDNA\, proteomics\, metabolomics as well as immuneprofiling in both existing samples (SCANDIUM and SCANDIUM-II) as well as prospectively in the SCANDIUM-III trial\, aiming at correlating multimodal liquid biopsies with tumor response\, progression and survival. \n\n\n\nPatients\, clinical samples\, infrastructure and other resources needed for the project are available through the participating University hospital sites and Comprehensive Cancer Center structures. We use the research infrastructure Clinical Studies Sweden – Gothia Forum for clinical trial support\, Biobank Sweden for biobanking and SciLifeLab for our planned multimodal analysis. \n\n\n\nregistration\n\n\n\nAbout Clinical Talks \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 a.m. via Zoom\, with occasional exceptions. Each talk will be followed by an engaging Q&A session\, moderated by standing host Rikard Fred and a guest moderator with subject matter expertise to enrich the discussion. \n\n\n\nIn today’s rapidly evolving post-pandemic landscape\, exploring how academic\, clinical\, and industry research—combined with technological advancements—can drive practical and sustainable solutions is crucial. Join us for an opportunity to gain fresh insights\, expand your knowledge\, and connect with experts shaping the future of Life Sciences!

SUMMARY:Towards an interpretable deep learning model of cancer cells.
DESCRIPTION:Avlant Nilsson\, DDLS fellow\, Karolinska Institutet \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\nCancer emerges from complex molecular interactions that drive pathological cells states. To model these interactions\, we develop deep learning frameworks of cellular signaling\, gene regulation\, and metabolism. Our approach embeds prior knowledge networks into a recurrent architecture\, allowing us to capture cellular dynamics by training on omics data across different perturbations and conditions.At the core of our modeling is a propagator function that predicts the next cell state based on the current state\, enabling the simulation of molecular state transitions over time. To ensure biological plausibility\, we employ a technic based on feature embedding and superposition that encodes molecular identities in a structured feature space while restricting the predictive input for each molecular state to its direct network connections. These structured embeddings facilitate the use of a universal function allowing generalization across different molecules\, cell types\, and experimental settings.By constraining learned representations to known molecular entities\, our framework maintains interpretability while enabling data-driven inference. Ultimately\, we aim to integrate our models into a unified representation of cellular behavior. Bridging mechanistic understanding with predictive modeling\, this work lays the foundation for AI-driven precision medicine\, offering new tools to simulate and control cancer cell states.

SUMMARY:[Spotlight seminar] Using comparative functional genomics to map genetic networks
DESCRIPTION:ScilifeLab Spotlight seminar series proudly welcomes Brenda J. Andrews\, Ph.D.\, C.C.\, FRSC\, University of Toronto \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBiography\n\n\n\nProfessor Brenda Andrews earned her PhD at the University of Toronto and completed a postdoctoral fellowship with legendary yeast researcher Ira Herskowitz at the University of California San Francisco. She returned to Toronto\, establishing her independent lab in the Department of Molecular Genetics (previously Medical Genetics) and later chairing the department (1999–2004). In 2004\, she was appointed the inaugural director of the Donnelly Centre\, leading it for 15 years. \n\n\n\nUnder her leadership\, the Donnelly Centre became a hub for large-scale genomics and proteomics\, known for state-of-the-art labs and robotics. She fostered a creative collaborative\, interdisciplinary environment\, integrating computer science\, bioinformatics\, chemistry\, engineering\, and biology to tackle fundamental biological questions and inventing technologies to answer them. The Centre’s discoveries\, frequently featured in top journals\, have transformed our understanding of cellular machinery and disease mechanisms. Notedly\, the Donnelly Centre is also known for its productive public outreach efforts\, hosting educational events aimed at instilling curiosity and love of science in the young\, especially girls. \n\n\n\nProfessor Andrews launched the Accelerator for Donnelly Collaboration\, a biotechnology incubator for start-ups and companies to partner with the Centre’s investigators\, with the aim to exploit results obtained in the basic science into medical advances. She is the founding editor-in-chief of the journal G3 Genes|Genomes|Genetics\, an open access journal of the Genetics Society of America. She is also as a member on the Governing Council of the Canadian Institutes for Health Research\, the primary federal funding agency for medical research\, and she served as the inaugural director of the Genetic Networks program at the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research. \n\n\n\nA pioneer in large-scale genetics and cell biology\, Professor Andrews has authored over 200 publications and received numerous national and international honors\, including being named a Companion of the Order of Canada\, the highest national honor that can be bestowed on any Canadian citizen. She is the Canada Research Chair in Systems Genetics & Cell Biology\, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada\, and an international member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. \n\n\n\nAs can be appreciated from this brief introduction\, SciLifeLab Campus Solna shares many of the ambitions and values Professor Andrews has championed at the Donnelly Centre. We are honored to host her for a seminar in the Spotlight Series on April 29 at 15:15 in the lecture room Air&Fire.

SUMMARY:[The Svedberg seminar] - Viral ecogenomics: exploring viral diversity and virus-host interactions from metagenomes
DESCRIPTION:Simon RouxPhD\, Viral Genomics Group Lead DOE Joint Genome Institute\, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory\, USA \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nBio\n\n\n\nDr. Roux lead the Viral Genomics group as part of the Metagenome program of the DOE Joint Genome Institute. Research in the group includes the development of tools and methods to explore viral diversity and the study of virus:host interactions in model soil and freshwater environments. The long-term goal his research is to understand the ecological and evolutionary drivers of virus:host dynamics in natural microbial communities and address questions such as “how do viruses spread and adapt across environments ?”\, “how do viruses take over and reprogram microbial cells ?”\, and “how do viral infections alter ecosystem processes ?”. \n\n\n\nViral ecogenomics: exploring viral diversity and virus-host interactions from metagenomes\n\n\n\nMicrobes are driving nutrient and energy transfers across the planet’s ecosystems\, but do so under strong constraints exerted by viruses. Over the last decade\, metagenomics revolutionized our ability to “see” viruses by providing large genome catalogs for uncultivated viruses\, enabling a better characterization of virus-host interactions and their impact on microbiomes. Here I will present our latest work in this field\, including (i) new approaches to maximize the recovery and annotation of viral genomes from metagenomes\, (ii) analysis of virus-host dynamics across seasons in a natural soil ecosystem based on paired metagenomes and metatranscriptomes\, and (iii) unexpected challenges in leveraging CRISPR spacer data to infer virus:host interactions. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHost: Maliheh Mehrshad maliheh.mehrshad@slu.se SLU\, Luisa Hugerth luisa.hugerth@scilifelab.se UU

SUMMARY:Umeå seminar series: Cryo-focused ion beam milling (cryo-FIB-SEM): Taking you where you need to go
DESCRIPTION:SciLifeLab Site Umeå/KBC Infrastructure Seminar Series \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Erin Schexnaydre\, Staff scientist\, Umeå Centre for Electron Microscopy (UCEM)\, Umeå University \n\n\n\nShort description: Cryo-focused ion beam milling (cryo-FIB) is a powerful technique. Its power comes from its versatility to study biological systems in vitro or in situ\, i.e. within cells or tissue. It has the ability to reach uncharted regions in biological systems. Cryo-FIB milling is used to expose 100–250 nm thin sections (called lamella) in intact frozen cells and tissue. The process allows access into the cells for high-resolution cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) and structure determination of biomolecules in their native environment. \n\n\n\nWebpage of Umeå Centre for Electron Microscopy (UCEM) \n\n\n\n\nRegistration: Sign up for the IRL seminar and reserve your free lunch (salad\, drink\, and a little sweet snack) by Friday\, 2 May\, 13:30: https://www.umu.se/en/research/infrastructure/scilifelab/scilifelab-site-umea–kbc-infrastructure-seminar-series Follow online (registration is not required): https://umu.zoom.us/j/69390567429

SUMMARY:[The Svedberg seminar] Extracting meaning from high-throughput functional genomics data with Bayesian statistics
DESCRIPTION:High-throughput functional genomics technologies have transformed infection biology into an increasingly data-driven science\, yet extracting meaningful insights from complex experiments remains challenging. Bayesian hierarchical modeling addresses these challenges by providing a framework to reason about the underlying data generating process. Here\, I illustrate the power of this approach through two case studies. First\, Bayesian modeling of RNA decay dynamics in Salmonella enterica identified confounding factors significantly biasing previous global RNA half-life estimates and revealed novel functions of bacterial RNA-binding proteins via transcriptome-wide differential stability analysis. Second\, we designed and analyzed a genome-wide transposon insertion screen for Shigella flexneri in a realistic human organoid infection model\, accounting for population bottlenecks and uncovering an unexpected role for bacterial tRNA modification enzymes in regulating virulence. I will end with an outlook on scaling our approach to very large datasets in the context of bacterial single-cell RNA-seq. \n\n\n\nLars Barquist\, Assistant Professor University of Toronto\, Canada \n\n\n\nHost: Maria Letizia Di Martino ml.dimartino@imbim.uu.se and Mikael Sellin mikael.sellin@imbim.uu.se \n\n\n\nBio\n\n\n\nLars received his PhD from Cambridge University for work on high-throughput and computational methods for studying pathogen evolution at the Wellcome Sanger Institute. After an Alexander von Humboldt postdoctoral fellowship\, he went on to start his own research group in 2018 at the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research in Würzburg\, Germany before recently moving to the University of Toronto. His work spans a broad range of topics at the interface of infection and computational biology\, ranging from large-scale comparative pathogen genomics and genotype-to-phenotype inference to detailed molecular studies of regulatory mechanisms and translational applications in antibiotic development.

SUMMARY:Leveraging Overlay Journals to Link to and Cite Data\, Software\, and Research Outputs
DESCRIPTION:Often\, we rely on publishers and journals to ensure that data\, software\, protocols\, and other related research outputs are curated\, linked\, and made discoverable. In this webinar\, we will explore an approach where we can do all these things as an overlay\, even before or after the publication of your article in a journal. Through the DeSci Publish service\, we will show how you can link and share your data\, software\, and other research files alongside your published articles leveraging the decentralised web and digital object identifiers (DOIs) which make your research outputs globally discoverable and citable. \n\n\n\nJoin us on 15 May 2025\, 15:00 to 16:00 CEST for a webinar with DeSci Publish\, where their team will walk us through the process of using the service to make your research more connected\, impactful\, and recognised.  \n\n\n\nIf you have questions in the meantime\, feel free to reach out to:philipp@desci.com and christopher.erdmann@scilifelab.se \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPresenters: \n\n\n\nPhilipp Koellinger\, President of the DeSci Foundation \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\nAlma Nilsson: Project Coordinator (Open Source Software and AI Communities)\, SciLifeLab

SUMMARY:[Spotlight seminar] Investigating the regulatory impact of rare non-coding somatic mutations in cancer
DESCRIPTION:Spotlight seminar series proudly presents Lude Franke\, Professor of functional genomics\, University Medical Centre Groningen\, The Netherlands \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract\n\n\n\nBoth germline and somatic variation play an important role in cancer. In the past years a lot of progress has been made in the identification of germline variants that confer cancer risk\, and a large number of somatic driver mutations have now been found. Here\, we set out to study the role of non-coding somatic mutations in cancer and studied whole-genome sequence data of 25\,000 cancer patients where we employed sequence-based models to identify hundreds of non-coding regions that are enriched for activating or repressing mutations. We subsequently studied how these non-coding somatic mutations cause disease and observed these mutations are related to known somatic driver genes ad germline risk variants  through when employing gene regulatory networks. I will discuss how such gene regulatory networks can be reconstructed using trans-eQTL data in 43\,000 invidiuals.  \n\n\n\nBiography\n\n\n\nLude Franke develops and applies computational methods to understand the downstream molecular consequences of genetic risk factors. We studied the effect of somatic copy number alterations on gene expression levels (Fehrmann et al\, Nature Genetics 2015) and studied the effect of genetic single-nucleotide polymorphism on methylation (Bonder et al\, Nature Genetics 2017) and gene expression (i.e. expression quantitative trait loci)\, both in blood using bulk data (Zhernakova et al\, Nature Genetics 2017 and Vosa et al\, Nature Genetics 2021) and single-cell data (Van der Wijst\, Nature Genetics 2018). Recently\, we did this in brain (De Klein\, Nature Genetics 2023). We lead the eQTLGen and single-cell eQTL consortia (see eQTLGen.org)\, where we use federated meta-analyses approaches to generate comprehensive maps how genetic variation is exerting cell-type and context-specific effects on gene expression\, with the aim to help identify and validate drug targets.
