iCAN science seminar: Dr. Arafath (Rafa) Najumudeen

KRAS rocks – Role in metabolism, cancer progression, and therapy resistance

Speaker: Dr. Arafath (Rafa) Najumudeen, FIMM, Institute of Biotechnology, HiLIFE, University of Helsinki

 

Dr. Arafath (Rafa) Najumudeen received his PhD from Åbo Akademi University, studying oncogenic signaling proteins. He did his postdoctoral work in Prof. Owen Sansom’s lab in CRUK Scotland Institute, describing spatial organization of metabolism in colorectal cancer using preclinical mouse models. Rafa is currently an academy fellow, and his lab focuses on the metabolic and mutational heterogeneity of intestinal stem cells and cancer using spatial-omics approaches and preclinical mouse models.

 

Coffee will be served before the seminar.

Stéphane Deny: Big questions in neuroscience and current limits of knowledge

Are you interested in what are the key open research questions in different fields of neuroscience?
What are the current conceptual and methodological limitations?
What are the biggest hurdles for effective prevention and treatment of psychiatric and neurological diseases?

Come and hear our top neuroscientists discuss these and other timely questions in the context of their research. The events are open to students, postdocs, group leaders, or anyone interested in neuroscience, and science in general.

Organizer: Professor Iiris Hovatta, Doctoral Programme Brain & Mind
Assistant Professor Stéphane Deny, Aalto University: Building Computational Models of the Visual System

Stéphane Deny, PhD is assistant professor at the Departments of Neuroscience and Computer Science at the Aalto University. His group works in the interface of neuroscience and artificial intelligence, especially on the visual system and computer vision. In particular, Stephane is interested in building computational models of the visual system that can match and explain the efficiency of the visual system, efficiency in terms of energy, data needed, and processing time. In this seminar, Stephane will discuss two well-studied psychology phenomena, mental rotation and pop-out effect, which to this day are still lacking robust and comprehensive computational models, and he will present ongoing efforts in his lab to model these phenomena.
In order to estimate the number of coffees and snacks to be ordered, please register using the e-form.
