Hi all,

Profi6 Fibrobesity, running until end of 2026, has established its monthly casual get-together HUB seminars on selected Tuesday afternoons at 15-16 to present and discuss timely topics and to promote community-building and cross-disciplinary dialogue.

Although the topics link with the Fibrobesity research programme, they are of interest to a wider audience than just the ones who are in the Fibrobesity email list, therefore we have decided to extend the invitation.

Always with coffee and bite to start with, continued by the brief programme of the day. No registration: Seats and catering on a first-come-first-served basis.

The remaining two FibroHUBs of this spring are on important and interesting topics as follows:

April 23, 15-16  at H1091, Dentopolis

Mirko Maksimainen will be our invited guest. We will discuss funding instruments and support actions by UO Research Support Services and Fibrobesity. You will also have the opportunity to ask about all the funding opportunities offered by Fibrobesity on the spot. And suggest new activities, what would be needed and interesting.

May 21 at lecture hall F202

Fibrobesity New Research Initiatives (NRI) projects 2023 wrap-up: what did they do and what did they achieve?

By the teams of

Sylvain Sebert on Understanding the interactions between the genetics, social and environmental longitudinal trajectories of fibrobesity,

Lauri Eklund on Novel fibroblastic/adipocyte -precursor cells in dermal fibrosis and adipogenesis,

&

Eija Pirinen on Profiling of phenotypically representative white adipocyte 3D culture model for fibrobesity studies

Welcome!

Best wishes,

Ritva

P.S. Please also note that the registered FibroHealth Researchers have full access to all Fibrobesity funding calls, Fibrobesity Newsletter “eMagazines” and other communications. There are currently close to 150 researchers in our registry. If you are not yet in, it is still possible to join via this link, if your research interests fit in fibrosis or obesity, or both.
