Lectures and seminars Science Today: The Cell
Welcome to the 15th edition of Science Today at the Nobel Prize Museum, this time themed The Cell. During the evening, three speakers—PhD students and postdocs from Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm University, and KTH Royal Institute of Technology—will present their research.
Science Today is a recurring after-work at the Nobel Prize Museum that kicks off the weekend with a mix of cutting-edge research and music from some of Stockholm’s best DJs.
In the programme, we explore the cell’s structure and function—from energy production and membrane transport to how cells build tissues and respond to their environment. Take the time to visit the newly opened exhibition Cells, nerves, genes, when visiting the museum.
Programme of the evening:
17.00–18.00 Mingel and music by DJ MERILIN
18.00–19.00 Conversations and presentations on stage
19.00–20.30 Mingel and music by DJ MERILIN
KI Speaker
Pradeepa Pushparaj, Recognition of foreign antigens by B cells
Pradeepa Pushparaj is a Postdoc at the Department of Microbiology Tumor and Cell Biology at KI. This talk explores how the immune system reacts to infections and vaccinations at a single cell level. By studying these responses, we gain insights that can help design better vaccines, discover new antibody-based therapeutics, and explain why different people respond differently to the same infection or vaccine, based on their genetics.
