Decoding cellular linguistics: A window into the architecture of cell type specific signaling

Host: Michael Courtney

Coffee at 13:45

Lauri Louhivuori studied Cell and Molecular Biology at the University of Jyväskylä (Finland), and completed his PhD, in Physiology, from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Helsinki (Finland) in 2015. He then moved as a postdoc to the Department of Medical Biochemistry and Biophysics at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, where he is currently residing. Lauri’s key research interests are driven by a fundamental question: how is it that a relatively small core set of signaling pathways are able to mediate such a diverse array of complex cellular decisions.
