Seminar on Circadian Rhythms and Obesity: A Timely Approach to Health
You are warmly welcome to join our spring seminar in Helsinki and online 3.4.2025!
Guest speaker, Dr. Veit Stefan Schwämmle
Dr. Schwämmle is an Associate Professor of Computational Proteomics and Bioinformatics at the University of Southern Denmark, leading the Computational Proteomics Group. His research focuses on developing computational methods to improve large-scale omics data analysis, particularly in proteomics and post-translational modifications (PTMs).
His work includes:
✅ Developing
software and workflows for mass spectrometry data analysis
✅ Investigating
biological processes through PTMs
✅ Creating
statistical tools for interpreting omics data
✅ Implementing
deep learning models for mass spectrometry data
✅ Modeling and
interpreting molecular signaling pathways
For more details on his research, visit his lab homepage (https://computproteomics.bmb.sdu.dk/) and Google Scholar profile (https://scholar.google.de/citations?user=jhFZrWcAAAAJ&hl=en).
Come early for a cup of coffee and pulla!
Special seminar by Assistant Prof. Luisa Hugerth
The (mostly) healthy vaginal microbiome of Scandinavian women” by Assistant Professor Luisa Hugerth
Dr. Hugerth is an assistant Professor at the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Microbiology; Infection and Immunity, at the University of Uppsala, Sweden. Her research focuses on the human microbiome, especially in relation to reproduction, stressing the importance of all technical aspects in the quality of the results, all the way from cohort design to sample collection and analysis to the selection of bioinformatics software and appropriate statistical procedures.
I’m also glad to announce that Dr. Hugerth will be the opponent of MD, MSc (Tech) Seppo Virtanen’s PhD thesis “Vaginal Microbiota - Sampling, Clinical Equivalence, and Combined Sequencing” in the Faculty of Medicine, University of Helsinki. The public examination will take place in Seth Wichmann auditorium, Naistenklinikka, Haartmaninkatu 2 on Friday, April 4, at 12.00.
Degrowing academia - towards fossil-free publishing and beyond
Degrowing academia - towards fossil-free publishing and beyond
You might not know it, but many of the ways we do business as academics support fossil-fuel-heavy industries. In publishing and beyond, we are brought up to think competitively within a framework of artificial scarcity that demands growth at all costs. But what if we as an academic community already have everything we need, and could free ourselves from fossil-fuel- and growth-driven actors in our work?
