We are delighted to invite you to the upcoming CCBIO Junior Scientist Symposium on June 6th, 2025. This seminar series offers a fantastic opportunity to connect and engage with fellow young scientists. We look forward to vibrant and insightful discussions, as always.
We are honored to welcome Lars A. Akslen, the esteemed director of CCBIO, as our keynote speaker. He will share the fascinating journey of CCBIO’s inception, the challenges and triumphs of leading such a comprehensive organization, and valuable lessons learned along the way. His insights promise to be both inspiring and informative for junior researchers. Oriol Castells Marin will discuss how intracellular signaling signatures from monocytes can differentiate acute myeloid leukemia from healthy blood and bone marrow. Sammy Choi will provide insights on optimizing proteomics workflows for analyzing small samples of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human kidney tissue. Marthe Alvestad will introduce a dynamic 3D in vitro model for studying kidney disease. And finally, Lars Muhl will explore the molecular characterization of mouse liver cell types using Smart-seq2 single-cell RNA sequencing.
We hope to see you there for an enriching and inspiring experience! Please register by June 2nd at 11.00. (Also possible later if you won’t be joining the lunch)
When: June 6, 2025, at 09.00-13.00
Where: Auditorium 4, BB building, campus Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen
