Exciting events are ahead for all of us interested in regenerative medicine! Please mark the following dates in your calendar:
March 4 – May 18: See the Exhibition “Illuminating Life” at the University Museum.
Developed by Dr. Shuntaro Yamada, a researcher in the Tissue Engineering Group at the Department of Clinical Dentistry, affiliated with MRCRM and a member of the MRCRM program committee.
This exhibition will feature stem-cell based regenerative medicine through beautiful microscopic artwork in stem cell biology, cranial development, and regenerative dentistry, accumulated by Shuntaro over the last 10 years.
Opening Ceremony: March 4, 14:00, at the University Museum
Lysende liv | Universitetsmuseet i Bergen
March 5: Bioteknologirådets Frokostmøte “Schizofreni i petriskål” with Professor Srdjan Djurovic
In this breakfast lecture, Professor Srdjan Djurovic (Department of Clinical Science, UiB and Department of Medical Genetics, OUH) will explain how his research team transforms skin cells from patients with mental disorders and healthy control subjects into brain cells and brain organoids—three-dimensional structures that mimic parts of the brain and its functions—and what they can learn from these models. Prof. Djurovic is the co-PI on the MRCRM-project “Personalised medicine in psychosis treatment” and one of the group leaders in Mohn Research Center for Psychotic Disorders (MRCP).
Time and place: March 5, 08:30-09:15, Litteraturhuset i Bergen
Register to join the breakfast or stream the lecture.
