14.10.2024 | Ajankohtaista

Dear junior scientist,

have you ever wondered how much career planning is really necessary? What career paths are possible within the life sciences and how do I have an impact?

Biobio Junior Section, supported by the 60-year anniversary of the Federation of European Biochemical Societies (FEBS), has organised a panel discussion around these questions.

Suvi Haimi, Co-founder of Sulapac and Emma Raitoharju, Academy Research Fellow at Tampere University will talk about their careers in the first panel.

In the second panel, Irene Diaz-Moreno, Chair of the FEBS Career Young Scientists Committee and Professor at the University of Seville and Mario Brandenburg, Parliamentary State Secretary to the Federal Minister of Education and Research, will provide their insights into how organizations such as FEBS can shape one’s career and how scientists can work together with politics to implement policies.

Join us on 29th of October 16:00 – 19:30 EEST in person at Tampere University, Arvo, room F115 or via Zoom. Please register using the following link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeQNddwSH3c6bFsrEjA-nK4pSLdENCO_n-Mh9shyJRmZeqVWA/viewform

We look forward to hearing your questions!

You will apply techniques such as multiplex immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, spatial transcriptomics to uncover the molecular variations that drive tumor phenotypes in colorectal cancer. You will apply data analysis methods and bioinformatics analyses to analyze large-scale molecular data. The findings of the project could refine future tumor classification systems, aid in developing novel biomarkers, and enable more personalized treatment approaches.

The doctoral training will give you a strong background for future tissue-based research related to cancer biology, tumor immunology, and bioinformatics. It will offer rich opportunities for networking, mobility, and further career development after completing the PhD in three years.
