Wihuri Research Institute Special Seminar by Dr. Paolo Tammaro

​Mechanisms of control of cerebral blood flow in health and disease by the TMEM16A chloride channel


Dr. Paolo Tammaro’s lab’s research interests lie in understanding the molecular mechanisms that regulate the function of vascular ion channels and in identifying new ion channel targets and specific compounds with the goal of modulating blood vessel function for therapeutic benefit. His most recent work focuses on the role of chloride transport mechanisms in the control of the function of pericytes (contractile cells that surround capillaries) in regulation of cerebral blood flow after ischemia. The results suggest that this channel constitutes a key contractile mechanism in cerebral pericytes, where it may constitute a new drug target for disease of altered microvascular blood flow such as stroke and vascular dementia.

Biostatistics drop-in workshop

Are you a researcher needing support with any statistical aspect of your work? The Biostatistics Consulting Service here at Meilahti Campus holds drop-in workshop sessions every other week to answer smaller questions about your analysis - solving a particular problem, how to get started, etc. We provide service in Finnish, English and Swedish.

 

The next workshop is on Wednesday 15th February, at 13:00-15:00 in Biomedicum 2B, in the Olohuone on floor 6. Come whenever you can. Note that you may end up waiting a while for your turn, especially early on in the session. We aim to spend no more than 15 minutes with each customer.

 

Bring: 

·       your computer

·       your data

·       your questions

and we biostatisticians will be on hand to help and guide.

 

Registration is not required, but you can help us prepare for your questions by filling in this form. The workshops are open to any researcher at the university's Medical Faculty, HUS or FIMM.

 

The next sessions are planned for 1.3, 15.3, 29.3, 12.4, 26.4, 10.5, and 24.5. For more in-depth questions, please book a one-on-one consultation session using this e-form where we will have time to go into more detail.
