Doctoral Students Are on the Trail of Thrombo-Inflammation
In the project ‚TICARDIO‘, doctoral students study the interaction of inflammation and thromboses. Their approach contributes to improving the treatment of cardiovascular disease. More
Proteogenomics Method Enables Analyses for Cancer Medicine & Marine Research
Bernhard Blank-Landeshammer developed a method that makes it possible to identify peptides in tissue samples using mass spectrometry. It combines information on genomics, proteomics and transcriptomics. More
New Partnership with the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore
Since the beginning of August, a pharmacy student from Italy has been a guest at ISAS for the first time. Anna Percio from the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Rome talks about her experiences in the ERC group Sulfaging. More
Flipping Molecular ‘Switches’ for Heart Attacks
Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, according to the World Health Organisation. Therefore, scientists at ISAS are studying the phase after an acute infarction to find new therapeutic approaches. More
“I’d like to help induce the hibernation of the human body”
Thibaut Vignane’s goal is to shed light on the molecular mechanisms by which persulfidation controls the ageing of human cells. In the interview, he explains what this has to do with space travel. More
Searching for Proteases with Molecular Tools
Using chemical probes, Prof Dr Steven Verhelst and his Team study intramembrane proteases. These are associated with Alzheimer's and diabetes type II. As part of their research, the scientists develop molecular tools at ISAS. More
Throwback to the PhD Workshops 2020: Elevating Science
ISAS is once again hosting PhD workshops as part of the structured doctoral training this week – a good opportunity to look back at the workshops of last year. More
Blood Plasma instead of Wine - Mona Ehlers Researches Kidney Diseases
During her doctorate, Mona Ehlers used instrumental analytics to examine the different components of wine. Now she uses similar techniques to learn more about the increased risk of thrombosis in patients with chronic kidney disease.
