Please email Anne Lahdenperä ( ankahy@utu.fi ) to join the student lunc h with Bhawna and Sunil.\n\nMIST PIs are warmly welcome to meet Bhawna Gup ta and Sunil Raghav on June 18th starting at 1 pm. Kindly contact Anne Lah denperä ( ankahy@utu.fi ) to book your meeting time with them.\n\n***\n \nDr Bhawna Gupta completed her doctoral studies at the Institute of Gen omics and Integrative Biology at the University of Delhi\, India and worke d diligently to understand the role of immune cells in diseases and homeos tasis. Her postdoctoral tenure included working at different laboratories\ , including\n– the Ludwig Center for Cancer Research at CHUV\, Lausanne\ , Switzerland\;\n– Dept of Bichemistry\, University of Lausanne\, Switze rland\n– the Turku Center for Biotechnology\, Finland\n\nShe currently h as a research laboratory at the School of Biotechnology\, KIIT University\ , India wherein\, together with her research team of doctoral students and clinicians\, she works to understand the pathogenesis\, progression\, dia gnosis and prognosis of autoimmune diseases\, with special emphasis on aut oimmune inflammatory joint disorder rheumatoid arthritis.\n\nIn parallel\, Dr Gupta has been teaching and training graduate and post graduate studen ts at the School of Biotechnology\, KIIT. She is also an entrepreneur\, ru nning a Food Tech company.\n\nLink to Bhawna Gupta’s homepage: https:// biotech.kiit.ac.in/profiles/bhawna-gupta/\n\n***\n\nSunil Raghav did his PhD at IGIB Delhi\, which was followed by postdoc period as a SIMO SITRA a nd Academy of Finland Fellow in the Molecular Immunology group of Turku Bi oscience Centre\, Turku\, Finland. After this postdoc period he worked as a Systems-X postdoctoral Scientist at EPFL Lausanne\, Switzerland. He then joined ILS Bhubaneswar as Scientist-D and Ramalingaswami Fellow\, and is currently Scientist-F at ILS Bhubaneswar.\n\nWith his Immuno-genomics & \; Systems Biology group at ILS\, Sunil Raghav focuses on transcriptional control of pathogen or signal specific dendritic cell responses. The group employs systems level tools like high-throughput functional genomics\, si ngle cell genomics\, population genomics\, metabolomics and a variety of d isease models for their studies. The current focus of the group is to iden tify molecular targets and metabolic switches that can be targeted to pert urb T-cell function and ameliorate disease conditions.\n\nLink to Sunil Ra ghav’s homepage: https://www.ils.res.in/scientists/sunil-k-raghav/\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://inflames.utu.fi/wp-content/uploads/THUMB NAIL-mist-seminar-18062024.png CATEGORIES:Events in English,Tapahtumat END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/Helsinki X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/Helsinki BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20240331T040000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0200 TZOFFSETTO:+0300 TZNAME:EEST END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
