Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York, USA
title: "Hematopoietic Stem Cell Aging and Leukemogenesis"
Areas of Research: Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSC), Regulation of Stem Sell Fate, Myelodysplastic Syndrome and Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Mouse Models of Leukemogenesis, Testing of novel stem cell-directed therapeutics on primary human HSCs.
Dr. Meritxell Alberich Jorda, meritxell.alberich-jorda@img.cas.cz
Institute of Molecular Genetics, Prague
title: "Searching for the good players: EVI2B controls granulocytic differentiation and progenitor functions"
Areas of Research: We investigate how C/EBPs regulate granulocytic production, whether they are mutated or deregulated during leukemogenesis, and how these alterations participate in the development of human acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Dr. Annalisa di Ruscio:
Università del Piemonte Orientale, Novara, Italy
title:"ReDirecting DNA methylation"
Prof. Dr. Gerhard Behre
Leipzig University Hospital, Germany
Areas of Research: The role of transcription factor C/EBPalpha and microRNAs in myeloid differentiation and acute myeloid leukemia.
Dr. Sheela Abraham: Sheela.Abraham@glasgow.ac.uk
Paul O'Gorman Research Centre, Gartnavel General Hospital, Glasgow
title: Taking control of signal transduction networks in CML
Research Area: transcription factor targeting in Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia, roles of p53 and c-myc.
Dr. Martin Kortüm Kortuem_M@ukw.de
Universitätsklinikum Würzburg, Germany
Research Area: genetic background and mechanisms of drug resistance in hematologic malignancies, with an emphasis on plasma cell dyscrasias such as multiple myeloma.
Prof. Jaroslav Doležel dolezel@ueb.cas.cz
Institute of Experimental Botany (IEB), Olomouc
title: "Chromosome-centric approaches to plant genomics and gene cloning"
Research Area: hereditary information of plants, its organization and changes, which accompanied evolution of plants and origin of new species. With his team he developed new methods to facilitate the analysis of complex plant genomes and participates in several international consortia aiming at sequencing genomes of important plants.
Organizers: 1st Faculty of Medicine, Charles University & Institute of Haematology and Blood Transfusion (ÚHKT)
