In order to support young investigator ́s career development and to encourage interactions among the participants in the COST Action 17112, we are launching a New Insights: Young Investigators Seminar Series. We propose this as a series of talks, ONCE monthly, given by early career investigators (ECIs) – with the supervision of their tutors (both hosts and mentors). The outline of the session would be a brief introduction of the speaker by the mentor, a talk around 45 min with 15 min left for discussion. Conferences will be held the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 16.30h (CET) starting from June 17.
Our next speaker will be Alejandro Hionides from the Oslo Universitetssykehus.
Generation of cell and gene iPSCs specific knockouts.
Date: 15th December, at 16.30h (CET)
Guest: Alejandro Hionides
Our last speaker was Lauryna Aukštikalnė, MD from the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Hospital Kaunas Clinics.
Date: 20th October, at 16.30h (CEST)
Guest: Lauryna Aukštikalnė
Our next speaker was Goran Bokan, MD from the UCC RS of Banja Luka.
See the video here: Future perspectives in DILI-nisation: How to save the liver?
Date: 16th September, at 16.30h (CEST)
Guest: Goran Bokan
Our next speakers was Ismael Alvarez and Hao Niu from the Departments of Medicine and Pharmacology at Malaga University, IBIMA, who will be addressing an important topic on translational research in DILI
Clinical Trials and Drug-Induced Liver Injury: what have we learnt and where can we go.
As members of the working group on: Design and Endpoints in Clinical DILI Investigations and Trials, they have led a systematic review with meta-analysis on the treatment and prevention of DILI which may pave the way to set up an international multicentre research network to investigate the effectiveness of known and novel interventions that could improve clinical outcomes of DILI.
Date: 15th JULY, at 16.30h (CEST)
Guests: Ismael Alvarez, Hao Niu
Our first guest will be Nuria López-Alcántara who left Javier Cubero´s lab to enjoy a short term scientific-mission (STSM) in the laboratory of Oleg Lunov at the Institute of Physics in Prague (Czech Republic). She will narrate her experience and learning, will discuss the methods/ techniques used and what she aims to develop further in the future.
Date: 17th JUNE, at 16.30h (CET)
Guest: Nuria López-Alcántara
