This is a great possibility to learn hosting skills in a friendly environment and create connections f or future. Everyone is welcome to join\, BioCity Turku will offer the lunc h.\n\nIf you got interested\, please send an email to biocityturku@bioscie nce.fi\n\n \;\n\nMononuclear phagocytes form a body-wide network of my eloid immune cells devoted to homeostasis maintenance and the immune defen se of the organism. The Jung Lab studies these monocytes\, dendritic cells and macrophages in physiology and pathophysiology using gene expression a nd epigenome profiling\, as well as a combination of conditional mutagenes is\, in vivo cell imaging\, cell ablation and cell transfer strategies. Cu rrent focus is given to monocytes\, as well as macrophages in the gut\, lu ng and brain. Specifically\, The Jung Lab uses small animal models to inve stigate contributions of these cells to inflammatory bowel disease\, endom etriosis and the role of microglia\, monocyte-derived macrophages and peri vascular brain cells in neuro-inflammation and -degeneration\, as well as aging.\n\n \;\n\nSelected publications\n\nSekeresova Kralova J\, Donic C\, Dassa B\, …\, Shlezinger N\, Jung S. 2024.
