BORTEM-17 interim analysis results and small molecule inhibitor targeting CSPG4/NG2 in glioblastoma at American Association for Cancer Research (AACR 2024) April 5-10, 2024
BORTEM-17 interim analysis results and small molecule inhibitor targeting CSPG4/NG2 in glioblastoma at American Association for Cancer Research (AACR 2024) April 5-10, 2024
It was a great privilege to participate at ‘AACR Annual Meeting 2024’, a large and important conference for cancer research, the place where scientists, clinicians, survivors, and patients, gather to share and discuss the latest breakthroughs.
Tore Ivar Malmei Aarsland will defend his PhD degree at the University of Bergen on 21 May 2024 with the thesis "Tryptophan and kynurenine pathway metabolites in neuropsychiatric disorders".
Brain calcification can cause movement disorders and cognitive impairment. New research by the Arnesen Lab at UiB provides increased insight into how these calcifications occur.
The Brenk lab has co-authored a paper describing the EU-Openscreen fragment library.
Peter Daniel Szigetvari will defend his PhD degree at the University of Bergen on 14 February 2024 with the thesis "Monoamine synthesis in neurometabolic disorders affecting catecholaminergic functioning".
The Brenk lab has published an article in which they have investigated the presence of metal-coordinating groups in screening libraries and chemical spaces. This can help with the discovery for new inhibitors for metallo enzymes.
Researchers from the University of Bergen (UiB) have uncovered that proteins use a common chemical label as a shield to protect them from degradation, which in turn affects motility and aging.
Research advisors at the Faculty of Medicine have recently launched a new portal for researchers applying for external funding.
We congratulate Marianne Hjellvik Hannisdal for this accolade, winning best poster prize at the medical faculty‘s research day, with over 30 talented phd fellows who presented their excellent research projects in the form of poster presentations!
On Tuesday August 15th, Devaki defended her PhD at the University of Oulu. The opponent was Associate Professor Beáta Bugyi from the University of Pécs Medical School, Pécs, Hungary. We all very much enjoyed an insightful discussion on actins, actin depolymerizing factors, and their roles in the malaria parasite. Thanks to everyone involved and huge congratulations to Dr. Devaki Lasiwa!
The impact of the most common protein modification, N-terminal acetylation, has remained a conundrum in the field since its very origin. A new UiB article adds a piece to this puzzle.
As part of a consortium lead by the EU-Openscreen head office with the overall goal to improve the services offered by EU-Openscreen, the Brenk group has got funding to work on Ribotacs. Ribotacs are small molecules that selectively bind RNAs and a RNAse and thus lead targeted RNA degradation. We look forward to a succesfull collaboration.
This month, Dr. Stanley Makumire joined our group as a post-doctoral fellow. We look forward to working together in the coming years!
