The first by Valeria Orlova, Department of Anatomy and Embryology, Leiden University Medical Center, The Netherlands. The presentation title: "Next-Generation Vascular Disease Models Using Patient-Derived Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (hiPSCs)". The second presentation by Sami Franssila, Dept. of Chemistry and Materials Science and Micronova Nanofabrication Center, Aalto University, Helsinki. The presentation title: "Cells on surfaces: surface topography and surface chemistry for tailoring cell behaviour on surfaces".
Welcome everybody! No registration required. Coffee is served during networking session 20 min before the presentation time. Field specific credits can be earned according to UniOGS recommendationshttps://www.oulu.fi/en/research/graduate-school/thesis-requirements-and-studies/study-requirements#accordion-control-recommendations-of-credits-for-different-activities- (attendance at scientific seminars for 10 hours: 0,5ECTS)
More information about the speakers and their research Valeria Orlova https://www.orlovalab.com/ Blood vessels are essential for proper functioning of tissues and organs in our body, and vascular dysfunction is associated with many cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Insight into the interactions between vascular cells and the local microenvironment are therefore key to understanding many different diseases. We utilize hiPSCs derived from healthy donors and patients with genetic vascular disorders. Over recent years, we have developed efficient protocols to differentiate different endothelial cell (EC) subtypes, pericytes, vascular smooth muscle cells, as well as myeloid cells, such as monocytes and macrophages. Specifically, we investigate the generation of tissue-specific vascular cells with focus on the heart and brain vasculature. -------------- Sami Franssila https://research.aalto.fi/en/persons/sami-franssila; https://www.aalto.fi/fi/ihmiset/sami-franssila;
