SUMMARY:ICVS Advanced Seminar “High-Throughput Screening Made Simple: Meet Our New Institute Platform"
DESCRIPTION:February 5th at 1 pm\, don’t miss Joana Sousa‘s “High-Throughput Screening Made Simple: Meet Our New Institute Platform” at the A0.03 auditorium in UMinho’s School of Medicine. \nHigh-throughput screening (HTS) is no longer a distant technology — it’s now part of our institute’s research landscape. In this talk\, we’ll introduce our newly launched HTS facility\, explain what it can do\, and show how it can enhance a wide range of scientific projects. Whether you work with cells\, molecular targets\, or new model systems\, this session will give you a clear\, accessible overview of how HTS can open new possibilities for your research.

DESCRIPTION:April 27th at 12 pm\, don’t miss Karen Duff’s “Tauopathy in Alzheimer´s disease and Frontotemporal dementia” at the A0.02 auditorium in UMinho’s School of Medicine. \nProfessor Duff is the Centre Director of the UK Dementia Research Institute at University College London and Professor Emerita\, Columbia University Medical Center\, New York. \nShe received her PhD from Sydney Brenner’s department at the University of Cambridge. She undertook postdoc positions in London with Alison Goate and John Hardy at the University of South Florida. She was an Assistant Professor at the University of South Florida\, Associate Professor at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville\, and Professor at the New York University Nathan Kline Institute. Deputy director of the Taub Institute at Columbia University from 2006 – 2019. \nProfessor Duff explores disease mechanisms and test therapeutic approaches to Alzheimer’s disease\, FTD and other dementias. Her current interests are exploring the mechanisms involved in the spread of pathogenic proteins within the brain\, understanding the basis of selective cellular vulnerability and resilience to tauopathy and developing new mouse and cell models to understand the earliest stages in tau pathogenesis.

SUMMARY:ICVS Advanced Seminar “Connecting the Motors: How Adaptor Proteins Control Microtubule-Based Transport”
DESCRIPTION:May 7th at 1 pm\, don’t miss Reto Gassmann’s “Connecting the Motors: How Adaptor Proteins Control Microtubule-Based Transport” at the A0.03 auditorium in UMinho’s School of Medicine. \n Reto Gassmann studied biochemistry at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and carried out PhD research at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell Biology in Edinburgh with Bill Earnshaw\, focusing on mitotic chromosome segregation. After postdoctoral work with Arshad Desai at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research in San Diego\, where he studied interactions between mitotic spindle microtubules and chromosomes\, he joined IBMC (now i3S) in 2012 as a principal investigator. His group investigates how the activities of the opposing microtubule motors dynein and kinesin are coordinated by cargo adaptor proteins. They use a multidisciplinary approach combining live-cell fluorescence microscopy\, genome editing in the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans and cultured human cells\, and biochemical reconstitution of molecular interactions. Beyond uncovering fundamental mechanisms of intracellular transport\, this work aims to illuminate disease mechanisms associated with defective motor regulation.

SUMMARY:ICVS Advanced Seminar “Occupational exposure to ionizing radiation and incident measures of cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disease among Ontario nuclear power plant”
DESCRIPTION:May 21st at 1 pm\, don’t miss Paul Villeneuve’s “Occupational exposure to ionizing radiation and incident measures of cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disease among Ontario nuclear power plant” at the A0.03 auditorium in UMinho’s School of Medicine. \nOccupational exposure to ionizing radiation and incident measures of cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disease among Ontario nuclear power plant\nBio: Dr. Villeneuve is a Professor in the Department of Neuroscience and the School of Mathematics and Statistics at Carleton University. He completed his PhD in Epidemiology at the University of Toronto in Canada\, and following graduation was research scientist at Health Canada in the Air Health Effects group for nearly a decade.  His expertise is in environmental and occupational health\, and he has evaluated radiation health risks in Ontario electric utility workers\, the Newfoundland Fluorspar Cohort\, and the Canadian National Dose Registry. He is also leading a CIHR funded study on patterns of cancer incidence among Canadians who live near nuclear power plants\, and also exploring how occupational exposure to radiation increases the risk of dementia\, and ocular disorders. He is the former chair of the Technical Advisory Group on Occupational Burden of Disease Estimation for the World Health Organization.
