This is a great possib ility to learn hosting skills in friendly environment and create connectio ns for future. Every student are welcome to join\, in spite of which resea rch group they belong to. BioCity Turku will offer the lunch.\n\nIf you go t interested\, please send an email to biocityturku@bioscience.fi\n\n  \;\n\nInflammation is an organism’s defensive response to foreign bodies and injury. While this is beneficial\, it can go into disarray resulting in tissue damage and the development of chronic inflammatory conditions - including arthritis\, fibrosis\, multiple sclerosis etc. The research grou p of Prof. Yona is interested in cells of the mononuclear phagocyte system \, a group of white blood cells that play an important role in the body's immune response. In the lab their research focuses on monocyte\, DC and ma crophage dynamics and function under steady state and during disease to ga in insights into how these cells are regulated and regulate physiological and pathological processes. This will enable the rational development of n ew treatments\, based on a clearer understanding of how the body responds to inflammation.\n\n \;\n\nSelected publications\n\nSaba Y\, Aizenbud I\, Matanes D\, Koren N\, Barel O\, Zubeidat K\, Capucha T\, David E\, Eli -Berchoer L\, Stoitzner P\, Wilensky A\, Amit I\, Czerninski R\, Yona S\, Hovav AH. 2022.
