Today!

August 24, 15.15-16 in F202 we will have a Kontinkangas Research Seminar by Assistant Professor Jaqueline Rios from Department of Orthopedics, UMC Utrecht, The Netherlands. The title of her presentation is The metabolic osteoarthritis puzzle: mechanisms, clinical implications, and treatment strategies”.

More information about Dr. Rios:

dr. J.L. (Jaqueline Lourdes) Rios - UMC Utrecht

Jaqueline Rios has physiotherapist training from Brazil. After a few years of clinical work, she continued her Academic studies and pursued Doctoral Degree in Kinesiology at the University of Calgary, Canada. In Calgary, she was working on metabolic osteoarthritis phenotype and the contributions of exercise and prebiotic fiber to osteoarthritis development. Her work was recognized with the David Winter Doctoral Young Investigator Award and in J.B. Hyne Research Innovation Award. Later, Dr. Rios moved to Europe and is currently working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Orthopaedics at University Medical Center Utrecht (UMCU), Netherlands. Her current research is focused on characterizing animal models of osteoarthritis and using aptamer-based therapeutics for osteoarthritis.

 

Coffee is served during networking session 20 min before the presentation time.
