In this seminar we will explain how AlphaFold achieves unprecedented accuracy in protein structure determination, showcase how molecular scientists can leverage it in their research, and present examples of researchers that are extending AlphaFold to new and exciting applications.

Dr. Björn Rúnar Lúðvíksson gives lecture titled Skin and mucosal immune-dysregulation and its role in Autoimmunity

During brain development neuronal precursors are generated in great excess. Only neurons that make functional connections survive, while the vast majority undergoes apoptosis and is eliminated by microglia.

Four seminars on BMC infrastructure - Part B.

This week we will start a series of four seminars on BMC infrastructure.

In this project the aim is to examine basic physiological processes involved in regulating the vessel diameter and vascular tone in retinal arteries, using a small vessel myography system which allows for experimentation on isolated vessels.

Vu Hong Nhung, Doctoral student under the supervision of Prof. Eiríkur Steingrímsson gives lecture titled Functional role of PRDM7 in melanoma and its regulation by MITF

The mission of Neuroendocrinology and Aging Group is to contribute to develop new knowledge in the aging field, namely to demonstrate that neuroendocrine system and related mechanisms can be targeted in experimental models to delay, stop, and in some examples, reverse manifestations of aging and age-related disorders.

Dr. Gudjonsson's primary research focus is basic immunological and genetic research on chronic inflammatory skin diseases.

The overall research theme in our lab is the structural and functional characterization of enzymes and enzyme assemblies that contribute to the bacteria defense systems which target invading nucleic acids.
