CellCom Seminar: Coulombe
21st November at 10:00
On-site event
in Ministeri Auditorium, BioCity 1st floor
Prof. Pierre A. Coulombe, University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA
Cytoskeletal keratins as regulators of homeostasis and innate immunity in healthy and diseased epithelia
Host: John Eriksson (john.eriksson@bioscience.fi)
Snack, coffee, and tea served at 9:45
Join us for an engaging seminar with Prof. Pierre Coulombe, G. Carl Huber Professor and Chair of the Department of Cell & Developmental Biology at the University of Michigan Medical School. Prof. Coulombe’s research has revealed key mechanisms of epithelial regulation, focusing on skin biology, particularly in understanding how keratin proteins support cell differentiation, tissue resilience, and repair mechanisms. His lab has made significant discoveries in cytoskeletal signaling, revealing how keratins influence cellular processes like inflammation, immunity, and gene regulation, which are critical for developing therapies for genetic skin disorders and cancer. Do not miss this opportunity to learn from a global leader in epithelial biology and cytoskeletal research of keratin intermediate filaments!
