As a newly recruited faculty member, this presentation will give an overview of the research topic and some details of previous work. Briefly, the role of biological sex and the effects of the steroid 17beta-oestradiol in cardiac (patho)physiology of humans and experimental animals will be discussed.

Using topical application to deliver therapeutic concentrations of drugs to the interior of the eye, particularly to the posterior segment, remains very challenging.

In this seminar Hrafnhildur Linnet Runólfsdóttir will discuss the prevalence of APRT deficiency, long-term renal outcomes and the effects of treatment in patients with the disorder.

In this talk Sigurður Rúnar Guðmundsson will present the work I was involved in during my PhD with emphasis on correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) analysis of phagophores and autophagosomes of both selective and un-selective autophagy 

Classical scrapie is a contagious, fatal neurodegenerative disease that affects sheep. It has been endemic in Iceland for about 140 years.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus causing COVID-19 was first identified at the end of 2019 and has as of now by 16th of January 2021 caused close to 95 million cases and over 2 million deaths.

Polysaccharide-protein conjugates have been developed to overcome the T-independent response, hyporesponsiveness to repeated vaccination, and poor immunogenicity in infants of polysaccharides.

Microglia, the brain-resident immune cells, are critically involved in many physiological and pathological processes, including neurodegeneration.

In this seminar, Berglind Eva Benediktsdóttir will take you through the world of EVs as they relate to drug delivery and isolation strategies, then zoom in on the current status of EV isolation from the above-mentioned cell lines using SEC and centrifugal filtration, and how Jess (capillary western blotting) has helped in confirming the isolation of EVs.

Adrián López García de Lomana will present ongoing efforts towards the inference of a gene regulatory network model for endothelium function from all publicly available bulk and single-cell expression data sets, including EndoDB that contains up to 4,741 bulk and 5,847 single cell endothelial transcriptomes.
