Talks  will take place at 10.00 am in Lauren 1 auditorium in Medisiina D building.\n\nCoffee\, tea a nd cookies will be served before the seminar.\n\n \;\n\nDr. Mark Ansel is InFLAMES Visiting Professor from University of California where he is professor of immunology. Dr. Mark Ansel studies the molecular mechanisms t hat control miRNA homeostasis and extracellular release by lymphocytes\, a nd determine how the miRNA repertoire is so dramatically remodeled during activation. He also aims to chracterize the function of RBPs and individua l miRNAs that regulate T cell differentiation and immune effector function s. Ansel lab has developed a screening technology that allows them to rapi dly determine which specific miRNAs regulate each of these T cell behavior s\, and pipelines for determining miRNA expression patterns in very small clinical samples.\nDr. Mark Ansel homepage: https://profiles.ucsf.edu/mark .ansel\n\n \;\n\nDr. Mary Keir is a principal Scientist in Biomarker D iscovery lab at Genentech. She studies the mechanisms underlying IBD patho genesis to identify biomarkers to define and follow patients most likely t o respond to current and emerging therapies. Dr. Keir is interested in epi thelial barrier function\, inflammatory T cells\, and the microbiota as ke y drivers of IBD pathobiology. Current work in Keir lab is focused on unde rstanding intestinal epithelial regrowth and differentiation and interacti on between the microbiota\, epithelial cells and the immune system. Anothe r long-standing interest in the lab is inflammatory T cells in the gut. Th ey use in vitro model system\, such as primary human organoids\, to identi fy biomarkers and support clinical studies.\nDr. Mary Keir homepage: https ://www.gene.com/scientists/our-scientists/mary-keir\n\n \;\n\n \;\ n\nFor any questions or inquiries please contact InFLAMES Research Coordin ator Sampo Koivunen at sampo.koivunen@utu.fi\n\nSampo Koivunen is invitin g you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.\n\n \;\n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\n\nhttp s://utu.zoom.us/j/62387331985\n\n \;\n\nMeeting ID: 623 8733 1985 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://inflames.utu.fi/wp-content/uploads/2022/ 08/mark_and_mary.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/Helsinki X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/Helsinki BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20220327T040000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0200 TZOFFSETTO:+0300 TZNAME:EEST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
