Housing for German Intern(s) from September through December
by Alexander Kastaniotis 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Dear all, Thomas Kietzmann and I are again expecting interns (one male, one female) from the Hamburg School of Live Sciences to work in our groups from September 1st until December 23rd or so. Like every fall, there is a shortage of PSOAS housing. According to the information that Pia got from PSOAS, it may be especially difficult to find a room for the male student (Thimo). If anybody has a free room or knows about a free room for a male student, or a two room apartment that are set up so that the rooms can be used individually and which would be available for this time period, please let me know. We would be able to pay the same rate that we would pay to PSOAS (about 225 €/month including electricity and water etc., or 450 € for an apartment that could be shared by both of them). It would be OK if the room/apartment is unfurnished. Many thanks for your help Alex Alexander Kastaniotis, Ph.D., Docent University Researcher, Group Leader Faculty of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine P.O.Box 5400 FIN-90014 University of Oulu Finland Phone: +358-294481196 FAX: +358-294481141 Alex Alexander Kastaniotis, Ph.D., Docent Coordinator International MSc Programme in Protein Science and Biotechnology Faculty of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine P.O.Box 5400 FIN-90014 University of Oulu Finland Phone: +358-294481196 FAX: +358-294481141

FW: [Bco] PhD student position for a study on food allergens (Belgium)
by Tuomo Glumoff 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Subject PhD fellowship: Food allergen detection in milk What: PhD candidates for IWT proposal – Chemical analysis Summary: As national reference laboratory for allergens and in the framework of the FOD health, food chain safety and environment project ALLERSENS, ILVO aims to development a mass spectrometric strategy to detect allergens in processed food. In particular this part of the project will focus on the detection of milk allergens. Co-operation: ILVO-UZ Gent-VIB ILVO: Technology and Food Science Unit (Prof. Marc De Loose, dr. Christof Van Poucke) UZ Gent: Allergy network (Prof. Phillippe Gevaert) VIB: Medical Biotechnology Center, UGent (Prof. Kris Gevaert) When: Augustus 2015 – August/September 2019 Who may apply: Master of Science (chemistry, (bio) engineering,…), Master of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Master in Biomedical Sciences, … Where: Melle – Merelbeke, Belgium Project description The prevalence of food allergies is increasing worldwide, with a higher prevalence in children (4−8%) compared to adults (1−5%). A food allergy is caused by a reaction of the immune system to normally harmless food components, mostly proteins. Symptoms can vary a lot and mostly occur in the mouth (swelling of lips or tongue, mucosal itch), the gastrointestinal tract (cramps, vomiting, diarrhea), the skin (hives, rashes or eczema) and the respiratory tract (wheezing or difficulty breathing) but can even result in severe systemic reactions such as anaphylactic shock. Up to now no cure has been found and the only solution for patients suffering from food allergy is avoiding the allergenic foodstuff. In order to protect the consumer, labeling of 14 ingredients that have the potential to cause an allergenic reaction is required by European legislation (regulation 1169/2011). Unfortunately, incidental presence of allergens in food is also possible due to cross-contamination and is not covered by legislation. Even though detection methods with a good sensitivity and specificity have already been developed and are commercially available for a variety of food allergens (methods based on protein binding, DNA detection and physico-chemical methods), they are still subject to variability and inaccuracies due to amongst others matrix effects (e.g. modification of targeted compounds during processing), sampling (e.g. heterogeneous distribution), non-uniform use of standards and the lack of internal standards. The overall aim of the project is to develop an analytical strategy that allows to check the correctness of the labeling of food, with particular attention to milk allergens, and the monitoring of food for the unintentional presence of these allergenic ingredients. The project aims to identify a set of target proteins/peptides that are stable during food processing and deliver information on the link between allergenicity and food processing. The identification of the stable peptides will be based on in house High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (HRMS) analysis of food matrices with the allergenic ingredient mentioned above that have undergone different processing steps. This project is part of a larger project in collaboration with the CER Groupe Marloie and the University of Namur where the final goal is to develop a multi allergen (milk, egg, hazelnut, peanut) LC-MS/MS method, which could serve as a golden standard for industry to evaluate existing and alternative detection methods: ELISA, flow cytometry, real-time PCR and droplet PCR.

FW: Etelä-Pohjanmaan lukiolaisvierailut

Hei histonilaiset, Olisiko kukaan Etelä-Pohjanmaalta kotoisin halukas toimimaan esittelijä-oppaana lukiolaisryhmille syksyn aikana? Hommasta on maksetaan rahallinen korvaus. OuLUMA-keskus on kutsunut lukioita Etelä-Pohjanmaalta vierailulle Oulun yliopistoon ja toivovat sieltä kotoisin olevia oppaita. Alla hieman tarkempi kuvaus. Jos olet kiinnostunut voit ottaa yhteyttä minuun tai suoraan Kati Kyllöseen (kati.kyllonen(a)oulu.fi<mailto:kati.kyllonen@oulu.fi> ) ” Olemme kutsuneet tänne yliopistolle syksyllä tutustumaan Etelä-Pohjanmaan lukioita, ja useat lukioista ovatkin ilmoittaneet olevansa halukkaita tulemaan :) Useimmat vierailuista järjestetään räätälöityinä paketteina, eli kokoan kullekin lukiolle sopivalle päivälle ohjelmaa, lähinnä luonnontieteen ja tekniikan aloilta. Koska ryhmät tulevat linja-autolastillinen kerrallaan, tarvitsisin heitä opastamaan avukseni muutamia opiskelijoita täältä yliopistolta. Lisäarvoa tulisi siitä, jos esittelijä-oppaiksi löytyisi Etelä-Pohjanmaalta itsekin tänne tulleita... Työstä maksetaan myös pientä palkkaa, noin 13,70 € opastustunnilta. Olisi mukava jos esittelijöiden joukossa olisi myös biokemian opiskelija/opiskelijoita, joka voisi esim. kierrättää lukiolaisryhmiä siellä Kontinkankaan kampuksella. Toki sitten olisi myös erittäin hienoa, jos teidän olisi mahdollista esitellä joillekin vieraille esim. jotain tutkimusta biokemian alalta, mutta näistä on kyllä tarkoitus kysyä aina erikseen tapauskohtaisesti” Terveisin Heli From: Kati Kyllönen Sent: 31. heinäkuuta 2015 14:06 To: Heli Ruotsalainen Subject: Etelä-Pohjanmaan lukiolaisvierailut Hei Heli, löytyisikö biokemian opiskelijoista sellaista, joka olisi kotoisin jostain Etelä-Pohjanmaan suunnalta ja halukas toimimaan esittelijä-oppaana, kun Oulun yliopistolla vierailee lukiolaisryhmiä?
