Regulations for Research Support Module: Doctoral School Biomedical Sciences
Modern biology is very diverse with a plethora of sophisticated techniques that utilize reagents that are specifically designed to support those techniques and come in the form specialized media, labeled reagents, tool compounds, antibodies, fluorescent probes, PCR primers, a multitude of kits and disposable items such as columns to name but a few. To increase the quality of our doctoral students research projects, they know what they want to do to get better data but are frequently limited by the cost of these essential reagents that result in either not doing the experiment or choosing a cheaper option to get data that is okay but will not reach the threshold to get better publications.
Therefore for the Biomedical Doctoral School that resides within the Natural and Exact Sciences, is requesting to use the ID.UJ Research Support Module money for reagent and disposable item purchases for our doctoral students. The awards of 13000 PLN will go to up to 10 students that give the strongest rationale for how the reagent money and disposable items can improve their quality of research. The remaining small portion of money will be for administrative support to process invoices.
28th Kraków Conference on Endothelium and 10th Cardiovascular Research Days
Vascular Inflammation in Ageing and Diseases: from bench to bed and back
12th – 14th December 2022
Kraków, Poland
We are pleased to invite you to the joint conference; 28th Kraków Conference on Endothelium and 10th Cardiovascular Research Days be held in Krakow from 12th to 14th of December 2022 (venue: the International Cultural Centre (MCK), Main Market Square, in Krakow).
The series of conferences named “Krakow Conference on Endothelium” has been organized by Prof. Ryszard Gryglewski and then by Prof. Stefan Chłopicki over many years in Krakow or surroundings. The “Cardiovascular Research Days”, a be-annual meeting organized by Prof. Bruno Podesser has also a long tradition to bring together basic scientists and clinicians and was held in Austria, Germany, Italy and Hungary.
This year we are organizing jointly the highly interdisciplinary and translational meeting combining both traditions of meetings from Krakow and Vienna. The conference will be dealing with a wide scope of aspects within the major topics of the meeting: “Vascular Inflammation in Ageing and Diseases: from bench to bed and back” (see registration details below).
Send your abstract and join us in December in Krakow!
SONATA 17 for the prevention of pro-thrombotic conditions in atherosclerosis
PhD Kamil Przyborowski is the third laureate of the last edition of the SONATA competition, announced by the National Center of Science in Krakow on behalf of the Jagiellonian Centre for Experimental Therapeutics (JCET). Doctor Przyborowski will implement a project entitled Inhibition of protein disulfide isomerases as a strategy for reduction of prothrombotic state in atherosclerosis; therapeutic implications.
Antiplatelet treatment is a gold standard to combat atherothrombosis. Despite advances in antithrombotic therapy the cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including myocardial infarction and stroke, are still the leading causes of death worldwide. Therefore, development of more effective and safe antithrombotic agents targeting new mechanisms is crucial. Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) A1, PDIA3 or PDIA6 released from platelets and endothelium accelerate thrombus formation through effects on platelets and coagulation. Consequently, they are emerging as targets to inhibit thrombosis.
