Xenograft in zebrafish embryo's neural tube: A preclinical model for studying nanoparticle-mediated drug delivery to tumors

The inaugural Oslo Symposium on Ecology, Evolution, and Genomics will be held on Thursday, 30 August 2018. The theme is: “Bridging the Fundamentals of Ecology, Evolution, and Genomics: Challenges and Solutions”. The co-organisers are CEES Chair Nils Chr.

”The effect of Laminaria hyperborea detritus on the growth of key filter feeding species in the littoral zone”

The Mahowald invariant is a method for constructing nontrivial classes in the stable homotopy groups of spheres from lower dimensional classes. I will introduce this construction and recall Mahowald and Ravenel's computation of the Mahowald invariant of 2^i for all i . I'll then introduce motivic and equivariant analogs of the Mahowald invariant, outline the computation of the generalized Mahowald invariants of 2^i and \eta^i for all i , and discuss the relationship between these generalized computations and exotic periodicity in the equivariant and motivic stable homotopy groups of spheres.

MSc Elisabeth Müller at Department of Biosciences will be defending the thesis Activation of antitumor M1 macrophages for cancer immunotherapy for the degree of PhD.
