21/01/202511:00MARIE CURIECell and Developmental Biology ProgrammeChristopher ThomasDevelopmental Biology Institute of Marseille (IBDM)"Revealing the Secrets of Ovulation"Host: Benito Mestres, MartaAbstract:Abstract:
Ovulation is essential for reproduction. During ovulation, an egg is released from an ovarian follicle into the oviduct. Once released, the egg can be fertilised by the sperm and give rise to a new embryo. Ovulation takes place inside the body, impeding studies of its progression. The exact mechanisms that control ovulation have therefore remained unclear. In this work, we devised methods to study the entire process of ovulation live in isolated ovarian follicles from mice using a long-term culture and imaging...

Centre for Drug Design and Discovery"From the lab to the clinic - Collaborative drug discovery"Host: Subirana Soriano, LaiaAbstract:CD3, the Centre for Drug Discovery in Belgium, is an investment fund and drug discovery center focusing on the discovery of new drugs based on innovative science.
CD3 is interested in collaborating with academic researchers aiming to modulate potential therapeutic targets. Additionally, the seminar will be of interest to PhD/Postdoctoral fellows interested in learning on career development in non-academic setting.

He was Professor of Personalised Cancer Medicine at the Barts Cancer Institute (2013-2022) at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) where he led the Centre of Cancer Genomics and Computational Biology (2017-2022). More recently, he worked as Vice President of Haematology Discovery and Target Identification at Astrazeneca in Boston, USA (2022-24). His research focused on genetic and epigenetic changes...

FlynnHarvard Stem Cell Institute"Cell surface glycoRNA biology"Host: CRG PhD Community - Gregor DiensthuberAbstract:Glycans traditionally modify lipids and proteins to mediate inter- and intramolecular interactions across all domains of life, while RNA has not been thought to be a major target of glycosylation. I will discuss evidence for the discovery of glycoRNAs in mammalian cells which would represent a third scaffold for glycosylation. By interacting with immunomodulatory receptors, glycoRNAs also provide a new mechanistic to consider how cells express signals via glycans on the cell surface. Highlights...

Cell morphogenetic processes occurring during plant development are crucial determinants of metabolic and mechanical functionality of mature organs. Through 4D imaging, computational modeling and micromechanical testing we can obtain a deeper understanding of the hierarchical architectural concepts underpinning metabolic processes.
