iCAN science seminar on Biology as a compass: multimodal profiling and treatment prediction in ovarian cancer with Dr. Francis Jacob

Dr. Francis Jacob from the University Hospital and University of Basel will give a talk “Biology as a compass: multimodal profiling and treatment prediction in ovarian cancer” in the iCAN science seminar series on


Host: Assist. Prof. Anniina Färkkilä, MD PhD

If you are interested in meeting Dr. Jacob during his visit, please contact the host at anniina.farkkila@helsinki.fi.

There is going to be a student lunch before the seminar. For more information, please contact the student host Ziqi Kang at ziqi.kang@helsinki.fi

Francis Jacob is a molecular biologist with a degree from the Technical University of Dresden, Germany. He earned his PhD in Cancer Biology from the University of Zurich and completed his postdoctoral training at the Lowy Cancer Research Centre, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia.

Since 2012, Francis has led various research projects, and more recently, he has been co-heading the Ovarian Cancer Research group at the Department of Biomedicine, University Hospital Basel, and University of Basel, Switzerland. With over 15 years of experience in ovarian cancer research, his work focuses on understanding the role of aberrant glycosylation in cancer, the mechanisms of ovarian cancer metastasis to the omentum, and advancing personalized oncology through innovative approaches using patient-derived samples.

The presentation will highlight Jacob’s research group’s journey, which originated in biomarker research, toward understanding cancer cell dissemination and our efforts to optimize treatment regimens for patients with epithelial ovarian cancer.

Welcome!  And a reminder for those coming onsite: come early for a cup of coffee or tea and pulla.

Join to discuss image manipulations in the next ReproducibiliTea meeting!

Welcome to discuss the interesting topic of image manipulations!


Will you be able to spot the manipulations? What drives people to manipulate images?

Join our second  ReproducibiliTea journal club to discuss these themes and test in practice if you can spot the manipulations. We are offering tea and pulla and would like to know if you plan to join. The registration is not binding but helps us to plan the amount of snacks. Please let us know by November 25th but still come over even if you are late for the registration!  https://elomake.helsinki.fi/lomakkeet/132257/lomakkeet.html 

What? Our second ReproducibiliTea journal club where we will discuss the theme of image manipulation with a practical approach. Our example article will be "hnRNP K: An HDM2 Target and Transcriptional Coactivator of p53 in Response to DNA Damag, Moumen et al. 2016".  Link to The article PDF version  or copy to browser https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vTpB8wmkDS1d7Ud7M-XamVJTyCYK3ytW/view
