SUMMARY:Immunology Seminar
DESCRIPTION:1st December at 14:00-15:00\nOnline event\nin Zoom\nFlyer\n\nRa
 quel Bartolomé Casado\, Institute for Cancer Research\, Oslo University H
 ospital\, Radiumhospitalet\, Norway\nStudies on gut-resident T cells in he

 nk to the seminar: https://utu.zoom.us/j/64099586180\n\nImmunology seminar
  series is jointly organised by the Finnish Society for Immunology\, InFLA
 MES Flagship and Turku Bioscience. For further information contact Anne La
 hdenperä (ankahy@utu.fi) or Riitta Lahesmaa (rilahes@utu.fi)\, Universit
 y of Turku.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nRaquel Bartolomé Casado’s main research focus
  is to apply single-cell and spatial methods to study the intestinal immun
 e system in health and disease\, with special interest in colorectal cance
 r. After obtaining her degree in Biotechnology and completed her MSc studi
 es at the University of Salamanca (Spain)\, Raquel moved to Norway to do h
 er PhD in Prof. Frode Jahnsen’s lab at Oslo University Hospital. During 
 her PhD\, she investigated the longevity of the adaptive immune cell compa
 rtment in the human small intestine\, with a special focus on characterizi
 ng resident memory T cells. For her postdoc\, she joined the Teichmann lab
  at Wellcome Sanger Institute (Cambridge\, UK) during two years. There\, s
 he employed cutting-edge single-cell and spatial technologies to study how
  the intestinal immune system adapts to tolerate commensal bacteria and pa
 rticipated in a Human Cell Atlas project mapping all the cell types across
  the gastrointestinal tract. Then\, Raquel moved at the Institute for Canc
 er Research\,  with the aim to integrate her expertise in an ongoing tran
 slational research program for colorectal cancer at the Dep. of Molecular 
 Oncology.  She secured funding from the Norwegian Cancer Society to explo
 re the relationship among cancer cells\, immune cells\, and the microbiome
  in colorectal cancer with the aim to discover new therapeutic avenues for
  patients not responding to immunotherapy.\nGoogle scholar: https://schola
