This is a great possibility t o learn hosting skills in a friendly environment and create connections fo r future. Everyone is welcome to join\, BioCity Turku will offer the lunch .\n\nIf you got interested\, please send an email to biocityturku@bioscien ce.fi\n\n \;\n\nMononuclear phagocytes form a body-wide network of mye loid immune cells devoted to homeostasis maintenance and the immune defens e of the organism. The Jung Lab studies these monocytes\, dendritic cells and macrophages in physiology and pathophysiology using gene expression an d epigenome profiling\, as well as a combination of conditional mutagenesi s\, in vivo cell imaging\, cell ablation and cell transfer strategies. Cur rent focus is given to monocytes\, as well as macrophages in the gut\, lun g and brain. Specifically\, The Jung Lab uses small animal models to inves tigate contributions of these cells to inflammatory bowel disease\, endome triosis and the role of microglia\, monocyte-derived macrophages and periv ascular brain cells in neuro-inflammation and -degeneration\, as well as a ging.\n\n \;\n\nSelected publications\n\nSekeresova Kralova J\, Donic C\, Dassa B\, …\, Shlezinger N\, Jung S. 2024.
