Feel welcome to join the second meeting of Brain Biology Club – serial workshop on neurological disorders organized by International Centre for Cancer Vaccine Science. On 14th of May at 4pm (CET) Dr Maciej Lalowski (University of Helsinki and I BCh PAS) will present his talk entitled “Assessing the proteome dynamics in healthy brain and neurodegenerative states using omics and imaging mass spectrometry” (abstract). Link to the seminar is available here.
Pomorskie Region has kicked-off an information campaign showing the involvement of universities and companies from our region in the implementation of projects funded from the European Horizon 2020 programme. The project KATY conducted at the International Centre for Cancer Vaccine Science is one of the health-related projects presented.

Single-cell sequencing methods are a new technology that allows us to study individual cells within a tissue. In cancer this is helping us to understand why tumours sometimes cannot be treated. While genomes (DNA) and transcriptomes (RNA) can be explored at the single-cell level, single-cell profiling of proteomes (proteins) has been very difficult. Since proteins carry out many of the most important activities
Foundation for Polish Science has announced the results of the START 2021 competition. 100 outstanding young scientists will receive prestigious scholarships and among them is MSc Katarzyna Dziubek from the International Centre for Cancer Vaccine Science. Kasia is doing her PhD at the Intercollegiate Faculty of Biotechnology, University of Gdańsk and Medical University of Gdańsk. Kasia carries out research
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), constituting up to 40% of all cases globally (WHO 2020). Canine lymphoma is recognized as a model of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) in humans (Pawlak A, Obmińska-Mrukowicz B, and Rapak 2013; Ito, Frantz, and Modiano 2014). Dr Małgorzata Lisowska from ICCVS works on improving the comparative medicine tools
About the research: A critical cellular surveillance mechanism that recognizes and eliminates aberrant mRNAs containing premature termination codons (PTC) is termed as nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). PTCs containing mRNAs are rapidly degraded by the NMD machinery. Active NMD renders many dominant mutations recessive by degrading transcripts encoding abnormal proteins with dominant activities. By this mechanism, NMD can exacerbate the phenotypes
Proud to announce that Prof. Natalia Marek-Trzonkowska and Dr Zuzanna Urban-Wójciuk from ICCVS have received a Special Prize for excellent publications from the Rector of the Medical University of Gdańsk (MUG) prof. dr hab. Marcin Gruchała. Dr Zuzanna Urban-Wójciuk was awarded for the publication “Antigenic Challenge Influences Epigenetic Changes in Antigen Specific T Regulatory Cells” and prof. Natalia Marek-Trzonkowska for the article “Cytokine Imprint in Preeclampsia”. The
