Turku Bioscience Genome Editing Core is organizing a workshop on generating knock-out and knock-in modification using CRISPR/Cas9 technology with in vitro ribonucleoprotein complex delivery. Read more & apply here: bioscience.fi/events/crisp... #geneediting #crispr #cas9

Our group leader, Matej Oresic, participated yesterday in a panel discussion organized by Sugar Science. The topic of the discussion was what the earliest detection of type 1 diabetes might look like. You can watch the discussion on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlMf...

My office view at @lp2mlab.bsky.social for a moment. Exited to work with talented people and cant wait to see what a amazing projects we can do together @turkubioscience.bsky.social @inflames-flagship.bsky.social @utu.fi @univcotedazur.bsky.social @sigridjuselius.bsky.social

We are glad to see that the research on women's health issues have finally come to spotlight around the world @inflames-flagship.bsky.social

Amazing opportunity, two 5-year Research Professor positions opened at the Finnish Cancer Institute www.syopainstituutti.com/researcher-p...

Naiset ovat edelleen tutkimuksessa aliedustettuina myös sairauksissa, joihin he sairastuvat miehiä useammin. Kun naisia ei tutkita, naisten kohdalla myös preventio ontuu? Kiitos tärkeästä nostosta, @inflames-flagship.bsky.social! Tätäkin toimintaa tukee Suomen Akatemia.

Akatemia edellyttää, että hakemuksessa kuvataan tutkimusasetelman tasa-arvo- ja yhdenvertaisuusnäkökulmat. Joskus meiltä kysytään, että mitä ihmettä se tarkoittaa. Esimerkiksi juuri tätä. Jos tutkittavina on vain miehiä, on syytä esittää sille hyvä perustelu ja kertoa, miten aikoo tuloksia tulkita.

”Hoitoon pääsyssä naiset jäävät takamatkalla, sillä useissa sairauksissa naisten diagnoosi ja hoito käynnistyvät keskimäärin vuosia myöhemmin kuin miesten. Tällä on merkittäviä vaikutuksia myös kansantalouteen työkyvyn, tuottavuuden ja terveydenhuollon kustannusten kautta.” 😑

Postdocs wanted - Please spread the word! We are looking for one bioinformatician and 1-2 cell biologists with different expertise! See the job ad below for more information and links to the job descriptions!

Out today in Nature: We uncover a neural mechanism for the integration of two internal states - hunger and estrous state - and how this integration shapes pup-directed behaviors in mice. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Surprisingly, mouse sperm can locate and swim through the tiny opening in #zebrafish eggs known as the micropyle, suggesting that some mechanisms guiding sperm toward eggs may be shared across distant species.

🎉 Congratulations to this year's SSI Young Investigator Award winners! Meet the rising stars of Scandinavian #immunology: John, Jonna, Chris, and Asbjørn @yssi-immunology.bsky.social @yefis-immunology.bsky.social @efis-immunology.bsky.social @iannaconelab.bsky.social @romagnanilab.bsky.social

Viisautta ja sivistystä huokuu tästä synttärihaastattelusta. Seppo Lindblom puolustaa velanhoidon ja puolustuksen pinteeseen jäänyttä hyvinvointia. Ja tutkimusta! Paras on silti tämä: ”-Mitä sanoisit 20-vuotiaalle itsellesi? -En kaksikymppisenä kuuntelisi näin vanhojen miesten neuvoja.”

20 straight days with 30 °C in Finland! Truly unprecedented heatwave still in full swing with maximum today about 32-33 degrees. Even the Arctic regions (e.g. Sodankylä Tähtelä) have seen three weeks above 25 °C, and may rival tomorrow their August heat records.
