2023

CanCell presents a digital seminar by Niveditha Umesh Katyayini and Eline Rødningen on December 18th where they will describe how to set-up and use electronic lab journal using eLabJournal.

This year the annual retreat will take place on 26-27 October at Strømstad Spa.

We will host a seminar by Professor David Pellman from Harvard Medical School & Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. David Pellman works on the mechanism of cell division and how certain cell division errors drive rapid genome evolu1on. The normal processes studied in his laboratory have included spindle positioning and asymmetric cell division, the mechanism of spindle assembly and cytokinesis, and the mechanism of nuclear envelope assembly and how it is coordinated with chromosome segregation.

CanCell holds the semiannual symposium on June 12. 

CanCell has the pleasure of presenting Dr. Eleni Tomazou (St. Anna Children's Cancer Research Institute, Vienna, Austria) as a guest lecturer. 

We will host a seminar with Professor Eugenia Piddini from the University of Bristol on March 23rd. She is a Group Leader and Wellcome Trust Senior Research Fellow at the University of Bristol. Her lab is exploring how cell competition could be harnessed for therapeutic strategies in regenerative medicine and cancer. Their goal is to understand the impact of cell competition on tissues and the mechanisms that cells use to compete. For this they combine studies in Drosophila to capture the complexity of these interactions in vivo, and mammalian cell culture to follow the dynamics of cell competition.

CanCell hosts professor Jörg Renkawitz from Ludwig Maximillian Universität, München on Friday February 10. His talk is titled "How Cells Move: Insights from Motile Immune Cells and Advanced Live Cell Imaging". Birgitte Bjørnerud from Wesche group will be the CanCell Young shot with her talk "Cell migration drug screening using CellTraxx, a novel automatic cell tracking tool".
