This free social event will consist of scientific presentations from postdocs along with the chance to meet with other researchers from Heidelberg. Refreshments and goody bags will be provided by Proteintech. All reseachers, PhD cancidates, staff, and especially postdocs are welcome.
Targeting the PLK1-PRC1 Axis for Inducing Cell Death in Genomically Silent Pediatric Cancers: Translating Laboratory Discoveries to Clinical Applications
Dr. Dr. Jing Li
(Co-Teamleader at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) Division of Translational Pediatric Sarcoma Research)
How aberrant PRC1 activation by a dominant oncogene can confer malignancy but provide opportunities for targeted therapy, and identify PRC1 expression as an important determinant to predict the efficacy of PLK1 inhibitors being used in clinical trials.
RNA and protein super-resolved imaging using fluorescent light-up aptamers
Dr. Franziska Grün
(Postdoc at the Institute of Pharmacy and Molecular Biotechnology (IPMB) Division of Bioorganic Chemistry & Chemical Biology)
RNA and DNA aptamers bind their targets e.g. small molecules or proteins with high affinity and specificity. Fluorescent light-up aptamers (FLAP) can be applied with fluorogenic dyes allowing advanced fluorescence microscopy.
