Dear all, Next week on Thursday Oct 5, starting NOTE! at 1500-in F202 we will have a seminar session (15.00-16) with two speakers:
1. Peter Bell from Centre for Blood Research, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada.
The title of his presentation is: Mining proteomics datasets for evidence of proteolysis in disease - from SARS-CoV-2 infection to connective tissue disorders
1. Hannu Koistinen from Department of Clinical Chemistry and Hematology, University of Helsinki.
The title of his presentation is Proteases in prostate cancer.
More information about Dr. Peter Bell: Dr. Bell's research in Vancouver is focused on the development of proteomics methods, biochemical assays, computational predictions and data mining approaches for the discovery and validation of protease substrates. Recently, these approaches have been applied to characterize the cellular 'degradome' during SARS-CoV-2 infection. Dr. Bell is a visiting research associate supported by the Fibrobesity programme for the period October 2-6 2023, hosted by Dr. Pirjo Åström's research laboratory. Highlighted publications: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37240067/, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36147669/, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31601107/
More information about Dr. Hannu Koistinen: Most of the research projects of the group are related to cancer biology, cell differentiation, cancer markers, and drug discovery and development. https://researchportal.helsinki.fi/en/persons/hannu-koistinen https://www.helsinki.fi/fi/tutustu-meihin/ihmiset/henkilohaku/hannu-koistine...
