Lecture Series “Seltene Erkrankungen”

The Junior Members of the Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (GBM), are organizing a lecture series on “Rare Diseases” in January and February 2021.
The Junior GBM are a small group of Molecular Life Science students who, since their foundation in 2013, have been organizing both internal and public events that are part of their interests in a scientific context and allow them to gain access to current research projects alongside their studies.

Guest lecture by Valerie Allamand about Collagen VI-deficiency and its consequences on the myomatrix

On November 27, 2019 at 3 pm in the seminar room EG (MFC1) the guest lecture given by Valerie Allamand will take place.

You are happily invited! 

Valerie Allamand, PhD

Lund University & Research Center of Myology Inserm Paris, France

“Collagen VI-deficiency and its consequences on the myomatrix”

November 27, 2019, 3 p.m., Seminar Room EC (MFC1)

Valerie Allamand is a group leader at UMR S974-Institut de Myologie, Paris (France). Currently, she is working at Lund University as a visiting research fellow. Valerie Allamand studies the physiopathology and therapeutic approaches for ColVI-related myopathies.

Collagen VI-related myopathy is a group of disorders that affect skeletal muscles and connective tissue. Most affected individuals have muscle weakness and joint deformities called contractures that restrict movement of the affected joints and worsen over time. Researchers have described several forms of collagen VI-related myopathy, which range in severity: Bethlem myopathy is the mildest, an intermediate form is moderate in severity, and Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy is the most severe. Currently, no cure is available.

PlaqOmics progress meeting in Lübeck

On Sunday April 7th we will welcome our colleagues and collaborators from the PlaqOmics consortium for a two-days progress meeting.

PlaqOmics is funded by the Leducq Foundation for a total of 5 years. We started in Autumn 2018 and we have next week our first progress meeting.

40 scientists, from senior to junior researcher, will discuss our hypothesis that detrimental reprogramming of smooth muscle cells (SMC) destabilizes atherosclerotic plaques and that there are critical genetic determinants of coronary artery disease risk that act in part by impacting SMC phenotypic transitions.
