SUMMARY:TRANSLATING MOLECULES TO TREATMENTS I
DESCRIPTION:DRUG DEVELOPMENT AND DIAGNOSTICS MINI-SYMPOSIUM\nTRANSLATING MO
 LECULES TO TREATMENTS I\n13.00-13.10 Opening words by Associate Professor 
 Diana Toivola\n13.10-14.00 M. Bishr Omary Molecular Pathogenesis of Porphy
 ria and Therapeutic Approaches Using Zebrafish Models\nM. Bishr Omary is P
 rofessor of Molecular &amp\; Integrative Physiology\, the H Marvin Pollard
  Professor of Gastroenterology\, Professor of Internal Medicine\, and Spec
 ial Advisor on Research to the Dean at University of Michigan in Ann Arbor
 \, USA. He is also guest professor in Drug Development and Diagnostics at 
 Åbo Akademi University in Turku. Bishr is a world leader in the area of i
 ntermediate filamentsand their associated diseases\, with special focus on
  the regulation and function of keratins and lamins in digestive organs. A
 nother active area of research in his laboratory involves studying the mec
 hanism of porphyrin mediated cell damage in the context of the genetic por
 phyria disorders. He currently utilizes high throughput drug screening app
 roaches to identify compounds with potential therapeutic benefits for inte
 rmediate filament associated diseases and for porphyrias.\nhttps://medicin
