During this international Conference we will focus on how cancer and stromal cells metabolically communicate and how their specific metabolism impacts disease development and progression. These cellular metabolism insights will offer novel therapeutic opportunities for malignant, metabolic, or inflammatory disease. In addition, also the impact of ‘omics’ technologies to study cellular metabolism will be highlighted during the meeting.

With no less than about 20,000 dangerous substances registered at the EU level (ECHA, 2018), the issue of risk assessment and risk communication has evolved to an increasingly challenging task during the last decades. Although vast efforts have been invested in the regulation of physical, chemical and biologically hazardous agents, it should be acknowledged that full knowledge is limited to a relatively small part of an exponentially growing market. Further, the risk perception of stakeholders not only depends on the intrinsic hazard or risk in the first place, but also -and in particularly- on external factors, such as media and lobbying, which place the facts into different contexts.

Industriële valorisatie en maatschappelijke relevantie zijn voor de Belgian Industrial Research and Development Board (BiR&D) zeer belangrijk. Daarom organiseert het FWO en het Fonds de la Recherche Scientifique – FNRS, op initiatief van BiR&D, jaarlijks de BiR&D Cross-Disciplinary PhD Thesis Award, ter bekroning van een doctoraatsthesis die een originele en cross-disciplinaire bijdrage levert met de mogelijkheid tot industriële valorisatie en maatschappelijke relevantie. In 2019 zullen twee prijzen worden toegekend, één in het gebied “Life & Health Sciences” en één in het gebied “Science & Technology”.

Tijdens deze Job Tasting Day kunnen studenten/alumni kennis maken met Advipro en het Advipro trainingscentrum. Krijg een blik achter de schermen in een gevalideerde cleanroom welke Advipro gebruikt als trainingscenter. Tijdens rondetafelgesprekken krijg je de kans om kennis te maken met enkele projectmedewerkers die meer inzicht geven in het dagdagelijks projectwerk in pharma/life sciences. Nadien kunnen geïnteresseerde kandidaten zelfs ter plekke een sollicitatie interview afleggen met één van de business managers of met HR.

Type 2 inflammation rich in eosinophils, basophils and mast cells and orchestrated by Th2 lymphocytes has been mainly studied in the context of allergies and immune responses to helminths. Since the discovery of type 2 innate lymphoid cells there has been a strong interest in understanding how type 2 immunity is induced and regulated, for example by barrier epithelial cells.

Recent advances in technology now allow us to explore multiple aspects of heterogeneity at the single cell level. Nowhere is this more important than in the Central Nervous System (CNS), where cellular heterogeneity has profound effects on all aspects of normal brain function and behavior and explains important aspects of disease pathology.
