Iron and health seminar day
Finnish Red Cross Blood Service (FRCBS) and the Doctoral Programme in Population Health (DocPop) organize together a seminar day entitled “Iron and health” .
The seminar is open to general audience. Affiliation to University of Helsinki is not required, but to attend (either online or in person) you must register to the seminar. Link to e-form registration for non-students: E-lomake - Iron and Health Seminar (DOCPOP-148) 18.10.2023 (helsinki.fi).
IMPORTANT! If you are a University of Helsinki PhD or Master's student and want to get a 1 ECTS from the seminar register to the seminar in Sisu. In addition, you need to write a learning diary in Moodle.
Registration closes on 9th of October 2023.

HiLIFE webinar / Viikki Monday Seminar John J. Foxe
John Foxe is an Irish Neuroscientist with a history of basic research studies into the neurophysiology of multisensory integration and attention. He works to translate new understanding generated in his basic research program to advance understanding of the neuropathology underlying a number of neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions. Special emphasis is placed on the identification of endophenotypes (neuromarkers) of disease, in linking these biomarkers to the underlying genotype, and in associating these markers with clinical manifestations. He has worked extensively in neurodevelopmental disorders such as Autism, Rett Syndrome, and other rare diseases of neurodevelopment, successfully gathering large-scale neuroimaging and neurophysiological datasets from these vulnerable and often difficult-to-test populations. He is Editor-in-Chief of The European Journal of Neuroscience, the official journal of the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS). He has published over 340 peer-reviewed papers (H-Index = 102).
