Dear all,
On next Thursday May 11, 15.15-16, in F202
we will have a Kontinkangas Research Seminar by Professor Angela Clerk, Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Reading, United Kingdom. The title of her presentation is
“BRAF (and its inhibitors) in the heart – good, bad or indifferent?”. Her research focuses on
signaling and gene expression in the healthy and diseased heart.
Coffee is served during networking session 20 min before the presentation time.
Welcome everybody! No registration required.
Organized by Biocenter Oulu and Health and Biosciences Doctoral Programme.
Please, check the seminars still to come. One additional ad-hoc seminar on May 25 by Stefan Krauss, and another new on June 7 by Prof Donald Gullberg, organised with Profi6 Fibrobesity research theme.
