Focusing on collective behaviour\, the exhibition examines how people interact\, make decisions together and shape the societies they live in.\r\n\r\nThe exhibition explores encounters between people and the choices we make collectively\, examining how communities are formed\, how conflicts emerge and how responsibility is shared. Highlighting both cooperation and breakdowns in collaboration\, the artworks prompt questions about democracy\, participation and our shared responsibility for the future. These issues are central both to society and to the advancement of research.Meet the artistsCharlotta Grunewald - The CellLars Brunström - The CellHalvman - The CellGabriel Fontana - The CellResearchers who have provided comments on the artworksKristina Gemzell Danielsson\, senior consultant and professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at the Department of Women'\;s and Children'\;s Health.

Through single-cell and single-nucleus approaches it became clear\, that virtually every cell type within adipose tissue\, adipocytes\, progenitor cells\, stromal cells is far more heterogeneous than previously appreciated\, and that specific subpopulations\, rather than bulk tissue properties\, are the drivers of metabolic health and disease.A recurring theme in this work is that the critical heterogeneity is often found where you least expect it. Recent work on mesothelium\, the serosal lining of visceral fat\, classically regarded as a passive barrier shows that this is a highly plastic population organised along a transition continuum\, and that the balance of its states tracks metabolic health independently of adiposity. Its transition toward a myofibroblast-like phenotype emerges as a key cellular mechanism linking visceral obesity to tissue fibrosis and dysfunction.Taken together\, these findings argue that to understand why some individuals with obesity remain metabolically healthy while others do not\, we need to move beyond adipocyte-centric models and map the full cellular ecosystem of the tissue\, including its periphery.&\;nbsp\;“Adipose tissue heterogeneity and metabolic health”Prof. Christian WolfrumNanyang Technological University - Singapore&\;nbsp\;Date: 2nd September 2026Time: 16:00&\;nbsp\;Place: Eva &\;amp\; Georg Klein lecture hall\, Biomedicum\, Solnavägen 9\, Solna.&\;nbsp\;Host: Prof. Kirsty Spalding (kirsty.spalding@ki.se)&\;nbsp\;&\;nbsp\;\r\n\r\nHost\nKirsty Spalding\n Professor\n Email: kirsty.spalding@ki.se\n Department: Department of Cell and Molecular Biology\r\n\r\nPlease note that location\, time and information can be updated on the website.\r\nhttps://news.ki.se/calendar/srp-diabetes-seminar-adipose-tissue-heterogeneity-and-metabolic-health-with-christian-wolfrum CREATED:20260709T121258Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260814T133237Z STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:SRP Diabetes Seminar: “Adipose tissue heterogeneity and metabolic health” with Christian Wolfrum END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20260903T080000Z DTEND:20260903T120000Z DTSTAMP:20260828T221014Z UID:241814 DESCRIPTION:Thursday September 3 at 10:00 in Andreas Versalius lecture hall.

We hypothesize that the synaptic assembly of neural circuits is based on a molecular code that controls synapse formation and synapse specification. This logic is dependent on the interactions between pre- and postsynaptic recognition and signaling molecules. Understanding how synaptic recognition and signaling molecules build synapses and control their properties is one of the key open questions in neurobiology. Synapses are essentially intercellular junctions in which pre- and postsynaptic specializations are organized to mediate neurotransmitter release and neurotransmitter reception\, respectively. As intercellular junctions\, synapses are organized by synaptic adhesion molecules (SAMs) whose primary function is to mediate bidirectional trans-synaptic signaling processes\, with little or any adhesion functions despite their names. Our recent studies uncovered a central role of multiple families of SAMs in synapse assembly\, including neurexins and their ligands as well as the adhesion-GPCRs Latrophilins and BAIs and their ligands. In my talk\, I will discuss our most recent findings on SAMs in synapse assembly to illustrate how the results of our and other laboratories’ studies on SAMs are not only significant for insight into how neural circuits are constructed but are also informative for neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases in which SAMs play a central role.Recent papers:Alternative splicing of latrophilin-3 controls synapse formation.Wang S\, DeLeon C\, Sun W\, Quake SR\, Roth BL\, Südhof TCNature 2024 Feb\;626(7997):128-135The cortical amygdala consolidates a socially transmitted long-term memory.Liu Z\, Sun W\, Ng YH\, Dong H\, Quake SR\, Südhof TCNature 2024 Aug\;632(8024):366-374Reconstitution of synaptic junctions orchestrated by teneurin-latrophilin complexes.Zhang X\, Chen X\, Matúš D\, Südhof TCScience 2025 Jan\;387(6731):322-329RefreshmentsSandwiches and coffee will be provided.RegistrationNo registration is needed.\r\n\r\nHost\nMichael Ratz\n Assistant Professor\n Email: michael.ratz@ki.se\r\n\r\nPlease note that location\, time and information can be updated on the website.\r\nhttps://news.ki.se/calendar/frontiers-in-neural-circuits-seminar-series-with-thomas-sudhof CREATED:20260819T073550Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260820T061837Z STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Frontiers in Neural Circuits seminar series: with Thomas Südhof END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20260903T100000Z DTEND:20260903T100000Z DTSTAMP:20260828T221014Z UID:216259 DESCRIPTION:Welcome to a meeting for all MEB junior faculty!\r\nToday we will have lunch together in Ljusgården at 12:00!

Recently\, my group uncovered an unexpected role of the ER as a central regulator of translation-dependent mRNA fate during heat stress in plants and more broadly in eukaryotes. Using complementary genetic\, biochemical\, and genome-wide approaches\, including RNAseq\, 5′Pseq\, small RNAseq\, and FLEPseq2\, we demonstrated that heat stress rapidly activates the ER\, triggering extensive co-translational cleavage of cellular mRNAs within minutes of heat stress onset. Rather than acting on a restricted subset of transcripts\, this previously unrecognized RNA decay process represents a rapid\, transcriptome-wide response whose magnitude scales with heat intensity\, allowing proportional remodeling of gene expression according to stress severity. During this talk\, I will present this new decay mechanism\, its regulation\, and its conservation across eukaryotic lineages.&\;nbsp\;HostVicent Pelechano\, Scilifelab and Department of Microbiology\, Tumor and Cell Biology\, KI&\;nbsp\;\r\n\r\nPlease note that location\, time and information can be updated on the website.\r\nhttps://news.ki.se/calendar/endoplasmic-reticulum-a-new-player-in-the-mrna-decay-game CREATED:20260821T130707Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260821T131135Z STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Endoplasmic Reticulum: A New Player in the mRNA Decay Game END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20260903T123000Z DTEND:20260903T130000Z DTSTAMP:20260828T221014Z UID:168114 DESCRIPTION:Welcome to join the weekly coffee break ("fika") - there is usually some fruit.\r\n\r\nTake a break and meet some colleagues - welcome to Ljusgården!\r\n\r\nPlease note that location\, time and information can be updated on the website.\r\nhttps://news.ki.se/calendar/thursday-fika-for-meb-1 CREATED:20211125T124328Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260819T113236Z STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Thursday "fika" for MEB END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20260903T130000Z DTEND:20260903T140000Z DTSTAMP:20260828T221014Z UID:241830 DESCRIPTION:The Karolinska Immunology Seminar Series (KiSS): With Joshua Tan \r\n\r\nThis is a seminar in&\;nbsp\;the Karolinska Immunology Seminar Series (KiSS).

This has been the case for PARP1\, a multi-domain protein that is a crucial first responder to DNA damage and a clinical cancer drug target\, in addition to being one of the best studied allosteric enzyme systems. While the functions of its individual conserved folded domains are increasingly well-understood\, its intrinsically disordered automodification domain (AD) has not been explored beyond its role as a site of PARP1-catalysed auto-ADP-ribosylation. Here\, we revisit key aspects of PARP1 function\, demonstrating that the positively-charged residues on AD make a crucial contribution to biologically and clinically relevant functions of PARP1 including its association with both undamaged DNA and DNA breaks\, as well as its catalytic activation. In contrast\, the function of positively-charged residues on the neighbouring folded BRCT domain is limited to undamaged DNA binding. This finding provides a biochemical basis for the detrapping effect of AD ADP-ribosylation\, as this modification counteracts the crucial positive charges. Together\, these data demonstrate the key role of specific chemical ‘grammar’\, here positive charges\, of an intrinsically disordered region in the function of a model allosteric enzyme and clinical cancer drug target.Bio2002: MSc in Optics\, University Paris Sud2006: PhD in Biophysics\, University Pierre et Marie Curie\, Analysis of secretory granule movements in the vicinity of the plasma membrane2006-2010: Post-doc in the Ellenberg lab at EMBL\, Heidelberg\, Impact of the chromatin architecture on protein motion in the nucleus2011: Associate-professor in biochemistry and cell biology\, University of Rennes2022: Professor in Biophysics\, University of Rennes\r\n\r\nPlease note that location\, time and information can be updated on the website.\r\nhttps://news.ki.se/calendar/onkpat-extra-seminar-the-positively-charged-residues-along-the-intrinsically-disordered-automodification-domain-of-parp1-control-stable-association-with-dna-breaks-and-adp-ribosylation-activity CREATED:20260825T111805Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260825T111952Z STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:OnkPat Extra Seminar: The positively charged residues along the intrinsically disordered automodification domain of PARP1 control stable association with DNA breaks and ADP-ribosylation activity END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20260907T101500Z DTEND:20260907T110000Z DTSTAMP:20260828T221014Z UID:242218 DESCRIPTION:The Center for Hematology and Regenerative Medicine (HERM) at the Department of Medicine\, Huddinge (MedH) organizes a seminar series with invited outstanding researchers/scientists in the fields of hematology\, immunology and regenerative medicine.

Several strands of evidence are now converging on the idea that sleep is inextricably linked to aerobic metabolism. Sleep-promoting&\;nbsp\;neurons estimate the need for sleep cell-autonomously\, by monitoring the leakage of electrons from the transport chains of their mitochondria.&\;nbsp\;This regulatory logic suggests that sleep is part of a negative feedback system in which mitochondrial electron leakage generates the need for sleep and is subsequently suppressed by sleep itself.Recent papers:A potassium channel β-subunit couples mitochondrial electron transport to sleep.Kempf A\, Song SM\, Talbot CB\, Miesenböck GNature 2019 Apr\;568(7751):230-234Sleep pressure accumulates in a voltage-gated lipid peroxidation memory.Rorsman HO\, Müller MA\, Liu PZ\, Sanchez LG\, Kempf A\, Gerbig S\, Spengler B\, Miesenböck GNature 2025 May\;641(8061):232-239A half-center oscillator regulates sleep pressure.Hasenhuetl\, P.\, Sarnataro\, R.\, Vrontou\, E.\, Rorsman\, H.O.\, Talbot\, C.B.\, Brain\, R.\, and Miesenböck\, G.&\;nbsp\;Nat Neurosci in press.

Discover how arts-based and participatory methods can enrich both research and teaching when addressing complex challenges such as climate mobility\, housing precarity\, health equity\, and disaster governance. Drawing on research in London and Accra\, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate teaching\, Camilla explores how methods used to generate knowledge in the field can also create engaging\, transdisciplinary learning experiences.\r\n\r\nRegister for Bites of Learning\nhttps://ki-uol.mira.se/Events/136/Apply\r\n\r\nWelcome to Bites of Learning!This session aims toShow how arts-based methods function as knowledge-production tools in real research contexts\, using the PATH project as a case study.&\;nbsp\;&\;nbsp\;Demonstrate how those same methods translate into teaching practice\, and why that translation is pedagogically powerful.&\;nbsp\;&\;nbsp\;Try one concrete activity with participants.&\;nbsp\;&\;nbsp\;Open a dialogue about arts-based methods across research and education for transdisciplinarity.&\;nbsp\;Target audience&\;nbsp\;Educators\, researchers and educational developers working in health professions education\, public health\, global health\, sustainability and related fields. No prior knowledge of arts-based methods required.&\;nbsp\;Why should a person attend?&\;nbsp\;&\;nbsp\;The gap between how we do research and how we teach is often larger than it needs to be. When you are researching problems that have no single correct answer\, the methods that generate the best knowledge in the field (listening across different knowledges\, surfacing lived experience\, holding multiple perspectives simultaneously) are also the methods that generate the best learning in the classroom. This session offers a look at that connection in practice\, with a researcher who uses the same toolkit in both settings and can speak honestly about what works and what does not.&\;nbsp\;SpeakerCamilla Audia is Assistant Professor in Global Sustainable Development at the University of Warwick. Her research focuses on climate adaptation\, health equity and epistemic justice\, with fieldwork across South East Asia\, Sub-Saharan Africa and the UK. She is holds multiple active grants on adaptation\, climate resilience and heat-health nexus. At Warwick\, she convenes modules on health and sustainable development and disaster governance\, integrating participatory and arts-based methods directly into her teaching.&\;nbsp\;ModeratorDr. Amani Eltayb Educational developer at the Unit for teaching and learning at KI. Her work involves consulting on course and curriculum development\, training educators in active learning and assessment\, promoting internationalisation and inclusivity within health professions education and empowering colleagues through evidence-based educational practices.&\;nbsp\;&\;nbsp\;RegistrationRegister for the bites of learning.You will receive a link to the webinar on September 17.Click on the link and join the online webinar.&\;nbsp\;\r\n\r\nPlease note that location\, time and information can be updated on the website.\r\nhttps://news.ki.se/calendar/bites-of-learning-from-research-to-teaching-exploring-arts-based-methods-for-knowledge-and-transdisciplinary-learning CREATED:20260630T102219Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260703T091040Z STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Bites of Learning: From Research to Teaching - Exploring Arts-Based Methods for Knowledge and Transdisciplinary Learning END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20260917T110000Z DTEND:20260917T130000Z DTSTAMP:20260828T221016Z UID:241339 DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Bioinformatics and Biostatistics (CBB) offers drop-in consultations every Thursday from 13.00 to 15.00.

September 17 at 15:15 in room Ragnar Granit\, Biomedicum.\r\n\r\nWelcome all members of Karolinska Institutet\, as well as researchers and trainees from KTH Royal Institute of Technology\, Stockholm University\, and other universities in the Stockholm region.

Drug development for these conditions is particularly challenging: cell-based screens cannot capture the full complexity of the nervous system\, and our limited understanding of the relevant proteins\, cell types\, and neural circuits hampers targeted strategies. Our lab uses zebrafish\, as this model uniquely combines vertebrate brain complexity with the capacity for high-throughput analysis and conservation of pathways and genes. We are working on two complementary fronts: using genetic mutants to understand disease biology and developing pipelines for drug discovery. We use broad behavioral and brain activity screens coupled with transcriptomic profiling to identify candidate mechanisms\, followed by in-depth mechanistic validation. We have identified zebrafish carrying mutations in orthologs of autism-risk genes that exhibit behavioral deficits in relevant domains\, including working memory and social interaction\, as well as alterations in neuromodulatory systems such as oxytocin and dopamine. More recently\, studies of schizophrenia-risk genes have identified sterol pathway dysregulation as a convergent molecular phenotype across distinct genetic models\, suggesting a potential shared mechanism and therapeutic target. To complement this mutant work\, our lab has recently established a new pipeline for computational drug discovery\, using zebrafish to test the in vivo activity and specificity of predicted compounds. Through rational drug design as well as unbiased compound screens\, we aim to identify compounds that can mitigate disease-relevant phenotypes.Recent papers:Zebrafish screen of schizophrenia risk genes reveals convergent dysregulation of cholesterol metabolism.Moyer AJ\, Capps MES\, Conklin CL\, Bastien BL\, Martina V\, Gannaway WC\, Cummings CE\, Martinez JA\, Chen M\, Kioschos G\,

Anderson (Caltech\, USA). The lecture will take place on Thursday\, September 24th\, at 14:00 in the Wallenbergsalen\, Nobel Forum (Campus Solna).\r\n\r\n\r\nTitle: "\;Neural circuits and population dynamics controlling innate social behaviors and their associated internal states"\;&\;nbsp\;Innate survival behaviors such as fighting\, mating and predator defense are associated with affective or emotion states. Finding neural representations of such states using supervised analyses is challenging due to a lack of direct state measures. To overcome this limitation\, we have performed unsupervised modeling of single-trial neural data acquired during naturalistic social behaviors\, using recurrent Switching Linear Dynamical Systems (rSLDS). rSLDS learns a dynamics matrix based on latent factor activity in a state-space approximated by a set of linear substates\, yielding a probabilistic model of neural dynamics. When used to model single-trial calcium imaging data recorded from hypothalamic “attack” neurons during aggressive encounters\, rSLDS discovered an approximate line attractor that represents the intensity and duration of a scalable and persistent state of aggressiveness. I will discuss features of this representation\, evidence for its local instantiation in the hypothalamus\, mechanistic implementation and generalization to other social behaviors. Together\, these results extend the potential role of line attractor dynamics beyond the representation of cognitive variables\, to the representation of affective internal states. They also identify a tractable experimental platform to investigate how circuit-level mechanisms give rise to emergent network dynamics at the manifold level in the mammalian brain.\r\n\r\nAbout the speaker&\;nbsp\;David J. Anderson has been a member of the faculty in the Division of Biology and Biological Engineering at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena since 1986. He is currently the Director of the TianQiao and Chrissy Chen Institute for Neuroscience at Caltech\, and an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Dr. Anderson received his AB from Harvard College in 1978\, did his PhD training with the late Günter Blobel\, a Nobel Laureate at The Rockefeller University\, and his postdoctoral work with Richard Axel\, a Nobel Laureate at Columbia. He is an alumnus of the 1979 MBL Neurobiology Course. Dr. Anderson'\;s research career has spanned multiple topics in neuroscience\, from the study of neural crest stem cells that generate the developing peripheral nervous system\, to the neural circuits that mediate innate emotional behaviors\, such as fear and aggression.&\;nbsp\;Dr. Anderson has published over 225 primary research articles and is the co-author with Caltech colleague Ralph Adolphs of The Neuroscience of Emotion: a New Synthesis (2018\, Princeton University Press). Dr. Anderson has trained over 50 PhD students or postdoctoral fellows. He received the W. Alden Spencer Award in Neurobiology from Columbia University in 1999\, has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2002)\, the US National Academy of Sciences (2007)\, and is a recipient of the 2017 Perl-UNC Neuroscience Prize and the 2018 Edward M. Scolnick Prize in Neuroscience from MIT. Dr. Anderson played a key role as an adviser to the late Paul Allen in the founding of the Allen Institute for Brain Sciences and the creation of the Allen Brain Atlas\, and continues to serve as an adviser to that Institute. He has also served on two working groups for the NIH'\;s BRAIN (Brain Research through Advancing Innovation in Neurotechnology) Initiative.Dr. Anderson has engaged in the public communication of science through several channels. He published an OpEd in the New York Times\, The Alchemy of Stem Cell Research (July 15\, 2001)\, has delivered a TEDx talk ("\;Your Brain is More than a Bag of Chemicals\, "\; 2013) which has received almost 1.5 million views\, has appeared on NPRs TED Radio Hour to discuss the talk\, the National Edition of NPRs All Things Considered with Jon Hamilton (2019)\, and two episodes of Charlie Rose'\;s Brain Series hosted by Nobel Laureate Eric Kandel. His work on aggression in fruit flies has been profiled in the NY Times ("\;To study aggression\, a fight club for flies\,"\; Feb. 3rd 2014). He has published two books\, The Neuroscience of Emotion: A new synthesis (2018) with Ralph Adolphs\, and The Nature of the Beast: How emotions guide us (2022).&\;nbsp\;\r\n\r\nHost and contact\nStefanos Stagkourakis\n Assistant Professor\n Phone: +46852487174\n Email: stefanos.stagkourakis@ki.se\r\n\r\nPlease note that location\, time and information can be updated on the website.\r\nhttps://news.ki.se/calendar/stratneurowenner-gren-guest-lecture-with-professor-david-j-anderson CREATED:20260722T124802Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260824T083504Z STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:StratNeuro/Wenner-Gren Guest Lecture with Professor David J.

Which scientific breakthroughs have had the greatest impact on children’s health?\r\n\r\nThis presentation explores how research and medical discoveries have driven social progress and improved global child health\, but also why the importance of science needs to be highlighted in a time of disinformation and declining trust.We highlight Nobel Prize-winning scientific breakthroughs that have been crucial to children’s health\, such as various vaccines\, antibiotics and the understanding of disease mechanisms.The lecture is based on a project in which upper secondary school students\, medical students and paediatricians jointly selected the Nobel Prizes they believe have had the greatest significance for children’s health.\r\n\r\nContributorsTobias Alfvén\, professor and paediatricianAlma Nordenstam\, doctoral student and doctorVera Alkas Alias\, medical studentCarita Olsok–Rehn\, research assistant*All affiliated with the Department of Global Public Health\, Karolinska Institutet.\r\n\r\nNobel Calling StockholmAll activities during Nobel Calling Stockholm 2026.\r\n\r\nPlease note that location\, time and information can be updated on the website.\r\nhttps://news.ki.se/calendar/the-most-important-nobel-prizes-for-childrens-health CREATED:20260826T102518Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260826T124544Z STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:The most important Nobel Prizes for children's health END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20261005T140000Z DTEND:20270426T150000Z DTSTAMP:20260828T221018Z UID:240895 DESCRIPTION:This is an initiative to promote the internationalisation of Doctoral educational programmes at Karolinska Institutet (KI)\, Doctoral Programme in Health Care Science (PUF-V)\, and the University of Zürich (UZH)\, PhD Programme in Care and Rehabilitation Sciences.\r\n\r\nJoin a unique Journal Club series of six sessions\, held between October 5\, 2026\, and April 26\, 2027. Each session lasts one hour\, from 16:00 to 17:00.\r\n\r\nBackground:For Doctoral students\, it is fundamental to improve their reading skills and gain practice in critiquing and appraising research. One common method to enhance skills in interpreting research results and evaluating research designs is participating in journal clubs. Virtual journal clubs can be a safe space where Doctoral students can also improve their presentation and communication skills and expand their professional network. The club may serve to connect researchers and students\, which is particularly beneficial for those practitioners who have few local peers. Connecting with peers globally via online journal clubs is a natural in today’s world of medical and health care education\, which will accelerate knowledge transfer and become an increasingly important tool in continuing medical education and research.&\;nbsp\;Aim:To promote the&\;nbsp\;development of critical appraisal skills among Doctoral students and the ability to articulate these accurately\, coveringGeographically different research practices and topics.Quantitative / qualitative / mixed-methods empirical study designs.&\;nbsp\;Useful insights for own research activities and competencies as a scholar.Methodology:A group of Doctoral students will meet virtually via Zoom to discuss articles from the health and rehabilitation science literature\, their study designs and choice of methods (quantitative / qualitative / mixed-methods)\, and their interpretation of results under the guidance of senior researchers (activity leaders). The virtual format provides a safe learning environment and allows Doctoral students to engage with each other locally as well as abroad. One predefined article will be discussed per meeting\, which all participants are required to read and study in detail beforehand.To inspire the exchange\, one of the participating Doctoral students (or a group depending on the number of participants) will be assigned to present their view of the article at the beginning of each meeting using prepared slides (approx. 12 minutes). Only one slide may be dedicated to summarizing the article (using a given structure of only three aspects: research question\, design\, conclusions drawn by the authors)\, while the main part (minimum of two slides) must lie on the students’ own thought process on the “discussion points” listed below pertaining to the article’s method\, validity\, interpretation and limitations. Factual criticism is encouraged. For group presentations\, every student must have a speaking part in the main part of the presentation. The activity leaders will then add further methodological discussion points\, followed by in-depth breakout group discussions during which every participant is required to share their thought process. Each meeting concludes with a plenary discussion in which members of each breakout group convey the most important insights from their breakout group discussion. Students are encouraged to take the opportunity to volunteer at the beginning of breakout sessions as the designated person to summarize breakout group talking points in the plenary at the end.Discussion points:Is the research question and setting clearly stated?Which methodological requirements does the research question imply?Was the study design well-chosen or could another design have better answered the research question as stated in the article?Is the sampling procedure clear and for which population are the results therefore generalizable? Is this accurately stated in the article?How were constructs operationalized for a valid data collection?Are the quantitative statistical tests\, the qualitative data analyses\, or integration / triangulation methods clearly described so that they can be replicated?Is the reporting of results clear? Was their interpretation done scientifically correctly and to the point?Does the conclusion relate closely to the research question?Were strengths and limitations discussed appropriately? Should others have been added?Are any policy implications suggested in the article direct derivations from the evidence the study generated?&\;nbsp\;Research articles to be discussed:Participating Doctoral students have the opportunity to propose a published original empirical research article\, one of which will be the focus of a session of the course. Students are encouraged to send their suggested article of interest to the activity leaders by e-mail between 31 August and 06 September 2026. Articles must concern the field of public (global) health\, health care in general\, medicine\, caring sciences\, nursing\, midwifery\, physio- or occupational therapy or rehabilitation sciences.From noon (CET) of 07 September 2026 until 14 September 2026\, students can enrol as presenters for a specific date and article (link will be provided by e-mail\; first come first served\; student(s) who suggested the student-suggested article ultimately integrated into the course program will be assigned to present that article\; maximum allowed number of students per article will apply depending on the total number of registered students). Participants who do not enrol for a specific date and article by 14 September 2026 will be randomly assigned.&\;nbsp\;Preparation and active participation:The final course schedule including the presenters / presenting groups will be made available to all participants at the latest two weeks before the first meeting of the course. All Doctoral students are asked to study the scheduled articles / manuscripts in depth before the respective sessions\, using the discussion points above\, so that an informed learning discussion can take place. Active contribution to the discussion in each session is expected.Activity leaders:The activity leaders for the virtual journal club for the academic year 2026/2027 are Myrta Kohler\, PhD\, and Marco Riguzzi\, PhD\, who are senior researchers from the&\;nbsp\;University of Zürich (UZH). They will provide guidelines for the articles being reviewed and for what is expected of the presenters and the attendees of each meeting. They will host the meetings and ensure a safe and respectful learning atmosphere.Participants:An overall total of up to 18 Doctoral students from&\;nbsp\;Karolinska Institutet (KI)&\;nbsp\;and the&\;nbsp\;University of Zürich (UZH) may participate in the course.Dates and Time:Dates: 05 October 2026\, 16 November 2026\, 14 December 2026\, 22 February 2027\, 15 March 2027\, 26 April 2027 (Mondays).Time: 16:00-17:00.Criteria:Successful participation in the Journal Club is graded pass/fail based on the individual presentation and active contribution to the discussion in each session. Virtual participation is mandatory\, although one justified absence is permitted. Virtual participation requires a stationary computer / laptop with a stable high-speed internet connection and a functional camera and microphone that are always turned on for the duration of each meeting. Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets are not allowed. Neither is participation while travelling.Registration:Please register by 30 August 2026. Doctoral students are required to provide confirmation that their thesis supervisor is aware of and agrees to their participation in the course. Once registered\, there is a period of one week until 06 September 2026 during which deregistration is possible\, but no new registration is possible any more. After that date\, participation is mandatory for registered Doctoral students.&\;nbsp\;Registration link (for KI students):&\;nbsp\;https://forms.office.com/e/rS6ttyc59k&\;nbsp\;For questions related to the registration or participation requirements / regulations\, please contact&\;nbsp\;puf-v@ki.se (KI students) or&\;nbsp\;care-and-rehabilitation-sciences@dekmed.uzh.ch&\;nbsp\;(UZH students).For questions related to the activity itself\, please contact the activity leaders\, Marco Riguzzi\,&\;nbsp\;marco.riguzzi@uzh.ch\, and Myrta Kohler\,&\;nbsp\;myrta.kohler@uzh.ch.&\;nbsp\;\r\n\r\nPlease note that location\, time and information can be updated on the website.\r\nhttps://news.ki.se/calendar/joint-virtual-journal-club-for-phd-students-october-2026-to-april-2027 CREATED:20260609T111248Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260609T111246Z STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Joint Virtual Journal Club for PhD Students - October 2026 to April 2027 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20261005T150000Z DTEND:20261005T160000Z DTSTAMP:20260828T221018Z UID:242008 DESCRIPTION:Welcome to an important conversation about AI on Monday\, 5 October\, from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Nobel Prize Museum\, Stortorget 2\, Stockholm.\r\n\r\nBreakthroughs in science and innovation have always challenged us to develop new abilities. The development of artificial intelligence (AI) provides new tools for many people. At the same time we hand over other skills to autonomous systems.What does it mean for us as humans when AI takes over more and more tasks – in research\, in school\, at workplaces\, and in everyday life? Are we at risk of using our own thinking ability less\, and what happens to creativity\, critical thinking\, and our ability to see new perspectives when the answers come "\;for free"\;? Do we become more innovative when we are spared the basic work\, or just more superficial? What does it mean for learning and research when parts of the basic work are automated?At the same time\, AI can serve as a powerful support to free up time and energy and provide space for more innovative thinking\, collaboration\, and understanding. In this conversation\, researchers from the Stockholm School of Economics\, Karolinska Institutet\, KTH\, and Stockholm University come together to discuss how AI affects human abilities and skills\, as well as the implications it may have for individuals and society.The event will be in English.The event is free to attend but requires pre-registration.Register here by 1 October.&\;nbsp\;\r\n\r\nPanelistsÅsa Wikforss is a professor of theoretical philosophy at Stockholm University and a member of the Swedish Academy.

Knowing how intricate brain structures are assembled gives not only crucial knowledge about the function of our bodies\, but also how some of most common diseases arise.\r\n\r\nMany overarching questions regarding how these brain structures arise and function remain unanswered. For instance\, how can a single cell give rise to complex structures such as the central nervous system (brain/spinal cord) and peripheral and enteric nervous systems\, which include the brain in the gut? The Conference “Developing Brains” will gather international and national leading scientists with expertise in these areas at Karolinska Institutet. These scientists will give lectures and discuss the latest advances in our knowledge of how brain structures develop.Confirmed speakersEmma Andersson Karolinska Institutet\, SESara Bizzotto&\;nbsp\;INSERM\, Paris\, FranceAndrea Brand&\;nbsp\;New York University\, USARui Chang&\;nbsp\;Yale University\, USAJohan Ericson Karolinska Institutet\, SEJohan Jakobsson Lund UniversityAndreas Sagner&\;nbsp\;Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen–Nuremberg\, DEYin Shen&\;nbsp\;University of California San Francisco\, USAFredrik Sterky&\;nbsp\;Gothenburg University\, SERegistrationRegister via this linkHostsGonçalo Castelo-Branco\, MBBJens Hjerling-Leffler\, MBB&\;nbsp\;Ulrika Marklund\, MBBFrancois Lallemend\, MBB&\;nbsp\;\r\n\r\nPlease note that location\, time and information can be updated on the website.\r\nhttps://news.ki.se/calendar/developing-brains-2026 CREATED:20260615T130121Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260623T161212Z STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Developing Brains 2026 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20261007T130000Z DTEND:20261118T160000Z DTSTAMP:20260828T221018Z UID:229795 DESCRIPTION:Are you a physician or researcher at KI/K seeking to enhance your understanding of applied statistics?

Researchers from St Erik Eye Hospital and Karolinska Institutet talk about award-winning discoveries about the eye and vision – and what they mean for your future eye health.\r\n\r\nHow are the Nobel Prize\, your eye examination\, and today’s treatment of eye diseases connected? In a series of three short seminars\, researchers from St Erik Eye Hospital and Karolinska Institutet will talk about Nobel Prizes that transformed vision research: from Allvar Gullstrand’s work on the refraction of light in the eye and the development of instruments such as the slit lamp\, to Ragnar Granit and his colleagues’ mapping of the retina and colour vision\, and Torsten Wiesel’s and David Hubel’s discoveries about how the brain interprets visual impressions.&\;nbsp\;Over 90 minutes\, we alternate between historical highlights and current research into eye diseases\, diagnosis\, and treatment. You will gain insight into how Nobel Prize-winning discoveries laid the foundations for modern ophthalmic care and ongoing research at St Erik Eye Hospital and Karolinska Institutet.&\;nbsp\;The seminar concludes with a Q&\;amp\;A session where you can ask the researchers questions\, test your own ideas\, and explore in greater depth how knowledge about vision can improve everyday life for people with eye diseases.The seminar is organised by Stockholm Science City Foundation and St Erik Eye Hospital as part of Eye Week 2026.Places are limited. Please register by 1 October.&\;nbsp\;Register via this linkBe sure to visit the photo exhibition featuring current researchers and their work in the main entrance of St Erik Eye Hospital.\r\n\r\nParticipants:Tony Pansell\, professor and optometristAbinaya Priya Venkataraman\, associate professorMaria Nilsson\, associate professor and optometristFilippo Locri\, research specialist\r\n\r\nNobel Calling StockholmAll activities during Nobel Calling Stockholm 2026.\r\n\r\nPlease note that location\, time and information can be updated on the website.\r\nhttps://news.ki.se/calendar/nobel-prizes-that-opened-our-eyes-from-light-in-the-eye-to-vision-in-the-brain CREATED:20260826T102954Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260826T124703Z STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Nobel Prizes that opened our eyes: from light in the eye to vision in the brain END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20261009T070000Z DTEND:20261009T070000Z DTSTAMP:20260828T221018Z UID:241749 DESCRIPTION:Molecular mechanisms of venous thrombosis and healing disturbances after Achilles tendon rupture\r\n\r\nDoctoral studentAnnukka Saarensilta\, OrthopaedicsMain SupervisorPaul Ackermann\, Karolinska InstitutetCo-supervisorsAisha Siddiqah Ahmed\, MMKGunnar Edman\, KIDSOpponentPernilla Eliasson\, University of GothenburgExamination boardEli Westerlund\, Karolinska InstitutetJörg Schilcher\, Linköping UniversityUlf Hedin\, Karolinska InstitutetChair of the public defenseAnders Enocson\, Karolinska Institutet\r\n\r\nPlease note that location\, time and information can be updated on the website.\r\nhttps://news.ki.se/calendar/dissertation-annukka-sarensilta CREATED:20260812T083125Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260812T083634Z STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Dissertation: Annukka Sarensilta END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20261009T070000Z DTEND:20261009T070000Z DTSTAMP:20260828T221018Z UID:242046 DESCRIPTION:Title: Air Cleanliness in the Operating Room: Environmental Conditions\, Human Behaviour\, and Implications for Infection Prevention\r\n\r\nPrincipal SupervisorAssociate Professor Ann-Christin von Vogelsang\, Department of Clinical Neuroscience\, Karolinska InstitutetCo-supervisorAssociate Professor Sven Bringman\, Department of Clinical Science and Education\, Karolinska Institutet\, Division of Surger\, SödersjukhusetOpponent&\;nbsp\;Associate Professor Tor Monsen\, Department of Clinical Microbiology\, Division of Clinical Bacteriology\, Umeå UniversityExamination bordAdjunct Professor Folke Hammarqvist\, Department of Clinical Science\, Intervention and Technology\, Karolinska Institutet&\;nbsp\;Associate Professor Ann Tammelin\, Department of Medicine Solna\, Karolinska InstitutetProfessor Annette Erichsen\, Department of Health and Care Sciences\, Division of Diagnostics\, Acute and Critical Care\, University of Gothenburg\,&\;nbsp\;&\;nbsp\;\r\n\r\nKontakt\nIda-Linnéa Böregård\n Phd Student\n Email: ida-linnea.boregard@ki.se\r\n\r\nPlease note that location\, time and information can be updated on the website.\r\nhttps://news.ki.se/calendar/dissertation-ida-linnea-boregard CREATED:20260820T134351Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260820T141341Z STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Dissertation Ida-Linnéa Böregård END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20261009T080000Z DTEND:20261009T080000Z DTSTAMP:20260828T221018Z UID:241746 DESCRIPTION:Prevention of Esophageal Adenocarcinoma\r\n\r\nDoctoral StudentJohan Hardvik Åkerström\, Upper Gastrointestinal SurgeryPrincipal SupervisorJesper Lagergren\, Professor of Surgery\, Karolinska Institutet&\;nbsp\;Co-supervisorsDag Holmberg\, Postdoctoral Researcher\, Karolinska Institutet&\;nbsp\;Giola Santoni\, Biostatistician\, Karolinska Institutet&\;nbsp\;OpponentJudith Offman\, Senior Lecturer in Cancer Prevention and Early Detection\, Wolfson Institute of Population Health\, Queen Mary University of London (QMUL)Examination CommitteeFang Fang\, Professor of Epidemiology\, Karolinska Institutet&\;nbsp\;Caroline Nordenvall\, Associate Professor (Docent) of Colorectal Surgery\, Karolinska Institutet&\;nbsp\;Magnus Sundbom\, Professor of Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery\, Uppsala UniversityChair of the Public DefenceMats Lindblad\, Adjunct Professor\, Karolinska Institutet&\;nbsp\;\r\n\r\nPlease note that location\, time and information can be updated on the website.\r\nhttps://news.ki.se/calendar/dissertation-johan-hardvik-akerstrom CREATED:20260812T081543Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260812T081542Z STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Dissertation: Johan Hardvik Åkerström END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20261009T080000Z DTEND:20261009T080000Z DTSTAMP:20260828T221018Z UID:242090 DESCRIPTION:Half-time review for doctoral student Vivica Dharmadasa at the Department of Medicine\, Solna (MedS).

Seoane\, researcher at Vall d´Hebron Institute of Oncology.\r\n\r\nHost: Kasper Karlsson\, Department of Oncology-PathologyAbstractEarly-onset colorectal cancer (eoCRC)\, defined as diagnosis before age 50\, has increased steadily over the past three decades\, suggesting a growing role for environmental and lifestyle exposures. Because many components of the exposome are difficult to measure directly\, we developed a tumor-based approach to infer exposures from DNA methylation profiles. Using this methodology\, we identified established risk factors such as poor diet and smoking\, and also detected a signal for picloram\, a pesticide not previously linked to cancer. Importantly\, we observed an association between picloram exposure and eoCRC in population-level data\, supporting a potential role for this compound in early carcinogenesis.BioJose A. Seoane is the Head of the Cancer Computational Biology group at Vall d’Hebron Institute of Oncology (VHIO)\, Barcelona. Originally trained as a computer scientist\, he transitioned to cancer genomics and epigenetics during his postdoctoral training at Stanford University. The primary focus of his lab is to identify biomarkers of drug response in solid tumors\, elucidate the role of epigenetics in cancer initiation\, progression and metastasis\, and identification of cancer risk factors.\r\n\r\nPlease note that location\, time and information can be updated on the website.\r\nhttps://news.ki.se/calendar/onkpat-friday-seminar-tracing-early-colorectal-cancer-risk-factors-through-epigenetic-fingerprints CREATED:20260805T110319Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260810T073926Z STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:OnkPat Friday Seminar: Tracing early colorectal cancer risk factors through epigenetic fingerprints END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20261009T100000Z DTEND:20261009T110000Z DTSTAMP:20260828T221018Z UID:242189 DESCRIPTION:Explore medical research on zebrafish\, animal care\, technology\, and much more in this guided tour at Karolinska Institutet.\r\n\r\nWelcome to visit one of the largest zebrafish facilities in the Nordic region.

His goal is to translate laboratory discoveries into clinical trials and more personalized treatments that improve patient outcomes.\r\n\r\nLecture: "\;Man-to-man versus zonal (immune) defence in head and neck cancers"\;Introduction by KI researcher prof. Margaret Sällberg Chen at the Department of Laboratory Medicine:"\;The Microbiome and the Cancer Ecosystem"\;The lecture will be followed by an afternoon reception in the Neo entrance hall with possibility to interact and ask questions.&\;nbsp\;Early Career Researchers (e.g. PhD students\, postdocs\, assistant professors) interested in an exclusive opportunity to engage in discussions regarding career advice with Professor Gopal Iyer at 13:00 before the lecture\, pls. contact margaret.chen@ki.se no later than October 14th.Bridging Surgery and Translational Cancer ResearchProfessor Gopal Iyer serves as Head and Senior Consultant of the Division of Head and Neck Surgery at Singapore General Hospital and the National Cancer Centre Singapore\, and is also a Professor at Duke-NUS Medical School. His clinical work centers on the complex multidisciplinary management of head and neck cancers\, combining advanced surgical care with translational research. At the core of his research is the pursuit of novel biomarkers that can guide treatment decisions\, identify new therapeutic targets and support the development of precision oncology approaches for patients with head and neck cancer. Building the Foundations for Precision MedicineA key component of Iyer’s research program is the comprehensive head and neck cancer database he established\, which has evolved into a real-time prospective data collection platform using the REDCap system. The database links clinical information with tissue samples and other biological specimens\, creating a valuable resource for both clinical and laboratory research. Access to patient-derived tissue is a major driver of the laboratory’s work. Researchers have developed ex vivo models as well as two-dimensional and three-dimensional patient-derived cell cultures to study therapeutic responses and gain deeper insights into tumour biology. These models are used to evaluate existing treatments and uncover new mechanisms that influence how cancers respond to therapy. Expanding into Cancer Immunology and Cell TherapyIn response to major advances in oncology\, the laboratory has increasingly focused on cancer immunology and cell therapy for solid tumours. The team employs a range of advanced technologies\, including next-generation sequencing\, immunohistochemistry\, flow cytometry and single-cell genomics\, to investigate the biological factors that drive cancer progression and treatment response. The research also explores the role of long non-coding RNAs and alternative splicing\, both of which may influence disease development and therapeutic outcomes. Findings from the group have been published in leading scientific journals\, including Nature Medicine\, Nature Communications\, Oncogene and Genome Medicine.&\;nbsp\;Host:&\;nbsp\;Margaret Sällberg Chen\r\n\r\nPlease note that location\, time and information can be updated on the website.\r\nhttps://news.ki.se/calendar/ki-south-distinguished-lecture-series-gopal-iyer CREATED:20260817T105844Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260828T072346Z STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:KI South Distinguished Lecture Series: Gopal Iyer END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20261021T100000Z DTEND:20261021T104500Z DTSTAMP:20260828T221019Z UID:241482 DESCRIPTION:Systematic reviews are an important part of evidence-based healthcare\, but they are often time- and resource-intensive.

The MEDLEY paradigm takes the opposite stance: it treats disagreement between diverse models not as noise to be averaged away but as evidence in its own right\, a signal about where a case is genuinely uncertain that is preserved and acted on rather than collapsed into a verdict. This talk traces that one principle across four settings:&\;nbsp\;MEDLEY keeps the full spread of differentials in diagnosis instead of one answer\;&\;nbsp\;ASR-MEDLEY uses divergence between independent speech systems as a reference-free signal to flag transcription spans for review\;&\;nbsp\;Triage-MEDLEY escalates to the most severe vote when reasoning models and rule engines disagree on emergency triage\; and&\;nbsp\;MEDLEY-BENCH measures how&\;nbsp\;LLM&\;nbsp\;models behave under epistemic and social pressure\, giving a principled basis for selecting an ensemble whose members genuinely think differently.&\;nbsp\;RegisterRegister to this seminar\, and read more about the following events on HI Conversations.\r\n\r\nPlease note that location\, time and information can be updated on the website.\r\nhttps://news.ki.se/calendar/hi-conversations-with-farhad-abtahi CREATED:20260820T120754Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260820T120753Z STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:HI Conversations with Farhad Abtahi END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20261029T120000Z DTEND:20261029T124500Z DTSTAMP:20260828T221019Z UID:241458 DESCRIPTION:A session where the search experts at KIB give you their best tips when searching for scientific information in Embase.

While many students experiment liberally with these tools\, many educators are still developing confidence to provide guidance on ethical and responsible GenAI use. Here we discuss a project to understand how co-creation\, an approach where students collaborate with educators to design learning experiences\, can support responsible\, critical engagement with GenAI. \r\n\r\nLearning with GenAI through Co-creationGenerative AI (GenAI) tools such as ChatGPT are rapidly transforming the learning landscape in higher education. While many students are experimenting extensively with these tools\, educators are still developing confidence in how to guide students towards ethical\, responsible and effective use.In this session\, we present a pedagogical development project funded through KI'\;s Pedagogical Project Funding initiative. The project explores how co-creation can support responsible and critical engagement with GenAI in education. Co-creation is an approach where students actively collaborate with educators in designing learning experiences\, moving beyond the traditional model of students as passive recipients of knowledge.By involving students in the design of learning activities and discussions about AI use\, co-creation redistributes expertise\, acknowledges uncertainty and encourages democratic engagement with emerging technologies. The approach aims to ensure that teaching remains relevant and engaging while helping students develop the skills needed to learn with GenAI rather than simply use it.During the session\, we will share experiences from the project and invite participants to discuss how co-creation and student-centred learning can be used to engage learners in conversations about GenAI.Why attend?This session is relevant for educators and students who are interested in the opportunities and challenges that GenAI presents in higher education. Join us if you:Wonder how GenAI is affecting student learning.Are looking for ways to engage students in discussions about responsible AI use.Want inspiration for creating more student-centred learning experiences.Are curious about co-creation as an educational approach.SpeakersMatthew Kirkham is a researcher in the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology and serves as Deputy Head of Education and Director of Doctoral Studies within the same department. He is also an experienced educator at Karolinska Institutet\, with leadership roles in the Biomedicine programme\, including course director for undergraduate and master’s level courses and a formal teacher representative on the programme committee.

In this module\, data import\, coding\, and usual descriptive statistics as well as exploratory data analysis regarding basic statistical assumptions are trained.2.&\;nbsp\;To investigate differences with a focus on the T. During the module we practice using three types of t-tests: one-tailed t-test\, independent t-test and paired t-test.3.&\;nbsp\;When two becomes more. In this third module\, ANOVA and repeated measures ANOVA are dealt with\, as they are the natural continuation of t-tests and allow for the comparison of differences in group means.4.&\;nbsp\;To investigate relationships and to be able to predict.&\;nbsp\;Within this module we practice exploring correlations and performing simple and multiple linear regression\, as well as logistic regression.5.&\;nbsp\;When we don'\;t have means. In this final module\, we focus on developing skills to apply non-parametric statistical methods\, including the Mann-Whitney U test\, Wilcoxon signed-rank test\, Kruskal-Wallis test\, and the chi-squared testTeaching and learning activitiesThe workshop series employ a "\;blended learning"\; approach nature the participant first independently takes part in a pre-recorded video lecture to establish a common basis and which is then followed by five digital on-line labs in a workshop format.
