SUMMARY:ICVS Seminar "Cerebral malaria: Plasmodium falciparum effects on human brain microvascular endothelial cells and brain organoids"
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, april 3rd 1 pm\, don’t miss Ana Rita Pedrosa’s seminar ” Cerebral malaria: Plasmodium falciparum effects on human brain microvascular endothelial cells and brain organoids ” at the A0.02 auditorium in UMinho’s School of Medicine. \n“I have a background in health sciences (bachelor’s by ISCSEM)\, biomedical sciences with molecular biology (master’s by UNL) and bioengineering (MIT-Portugal doctoral program) from Minho University. My career and scientific practice\, in the last 10 years\, have been dedicated in the infectious diseases and immunology field and I have worked in several research centers\,\nboth nationally (IHMT and CNC) and internationally (Czech Academy of Sciences\, Czech Republic and Instituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale della Sicilia\, Italy).\nI have several scientific articles and some oral communications in international congresses.”

SUMMARY:Cell functional and phenotypical analysis
DESCRIPTION:“Cell functional and phenotypical analysis: the usefulness of flow cytometry and related tools” is a hands-on course that will allow participants to learn from fundamentals to advanced applications of flow cytometry. The course will be lectured by researcher from the ICVS\, in collaboration with by national and international experts\, including flow cytometry facility coordinators\, researchers\, and specialists on FlowJo software for flow cytometry analysis. The course will be organized in theoretical and practical sessions. Practical sessions will include sessions of hands-on in the laboratory and also theoretical-practical sessions that are allocated for the understanding of data analysis. The course is designed to promote informal discussions and exchange of ideas. The interaction between speakers and participants will be promoted during the practical and theoretical-practical sessions. \nThe course is structured as follows:\n– 1st week: This week will be dedicated to explore\, using interactive and student centered strategies\, principles of cell functional and phenotypical analysis including fundamental concepts on antibodies\, fluorochrome selection as well as the fundamentals of flow cytometry. Lectures and discussions will be followed by hands-on laboratory sessions on a wide variety of flow cytometry techniques ranging from experimental set-up\, sample preparation\, data acquisition and data analysis.\n– 2nd week: This week will be dedicated to advanced flow cytometry techniques on the analysis of RNA\, cell cycle\, cell death\, metabolism and cytokine quantification.\n– Workshop: by the end of the first week\, several specialists will be invited to present their data and new challenges on the use of flow cytometry on exosome analysis\, immunometabolism and microbiology as well as full-spectrum cytometry and cytoff. \nA complete pipeline of different biological samples from yeast to human cells\, and serum/cell culture supernatants will be used throughout the course. \nSpecial fees were established independently for each course week to meet participants’ needs and demands.

SUMMARY:ICVS Seminar " Vascular sequestration of trypanosome parasites and its implications to disease “
DESCRIPTION:Next monday\, 17th of april\, at 1 pm\, don’t miss Sara Silva Pereira’s seminar ” Vascular sequestration of trypanosome parasites and its implications to disease “ at the A0.02 auditorium in UMinho’s School of Medicine. \nSara Silva Pereira completed her PhD in Veterinary Parasitology\, in 2018\, at the University of Liverpool (UK)\, where she investigated antigenic diversity of African trypanosomes parasites.\nIn 2019\, she was awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship to study how variant antigens affect T. congolense tissue tropism at the laboratory of Luisa Figueiredo\, in Instituto de Medicina Molecular (Lisbon). There\, she discovered that Trypanosoma congolense sequestration\, or adhesion to the vascular endothelium\, is a virulence factor\, suggesting that severe trypanosomiasis may be preventable by targeting parasite sequestration mediators. In 2022\, Sara moved to the Bernabeu Laboratory at the EMBL Barcelona to develop a 3D in vitro model of bovine brain vasculature\, a platform that allows direct assessment of sequestration. In 2023\, the Silva Pereira Laboratory will open at the Católica Biomedical Research Centre to investigate the interactions of trypanosomes with the host vasculature. \n

SUMMARY:Seminar | "The challenge of preclinical drug development in depressive disorders” | Prof. John Kelly
DESCRIPTION:Seminar 20.04.2023 13h A0.02 \nThe challenge of preclinical drug development in depressive disorders \nProf. John Kelly | Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics\, University of Galway\, Ireland \nProfessor in the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics\, University of Galway.\nOver 40 years involved in pharmacological and toxicological research\, 8 of which at the industry level.\nResearch centred on preclinical animal models of depression\, most particularly investigating the olfactory bulbectomized and whether this myriad of changes associated with this model\ncan be attenuated by chronic treatment with antidepressants\, both established and novel treatments.\nThis research has demonstrated how valuable the integrated approach can be in ascertaining interactions between behavioural\, physiological\, neurochemical and immune changes.\nThis research has resulted in over 100 peer-reviewed publications.
