Title:
The Sox2 transcription factor in brain development and in neural tumors: genome-wide studies in neural stem cells
Contact: Lena Gunhaga, UCMM
Room: Lecture Hall Betula, Bldg 6M
Abstract:
Sox2 is a transcription factor essential for pluripotent stem cells, also active in stem cells of different tissues. Silvia Nicolis' group investigates the role of Sox2 in the development of the nervous system, in particular of the brain, analysing the molecular mechanisms of its action. In parallel, they also study the possible role of Sox2 in brain tumors. One aim of their studies is to better understand, through the functional investigation of Sox2, its role in the hereditary pathology of the nervous system and in brain tumors, with possible implications for therapy.
Future faculty invites young scientists that hold a PhD to a workshop in
Leadership in Academy
aimed towards young researchers (PhDs) with a group or with the intention to start a group in the future
As if it is not enough to get funded and publish well to get a shot at a permanent research position – you also need to be a good leader when you finally get the chance. Your scientific production is dependent on your research group and if the group runs into trouble leadership is needed. Leadership in the academic setting is something all of us have been exposed to but very few have formal training in. Do you need to be a “born leader” to manage or are there strategies that we can adopt and become a “leader”? What are the pitfalls? What advice can we get? This workshop aims at discussing leadership in the specific academic setting. Welcome to an interesting workshop together with some people that have taken the big leap to manage a group of their own.
Program:
9.30-10.15 Markus Hällgren ”Managing academic projects: a contradiction in terms?”
10.15-10.45 Lena Gunhaga “Flexible leadership”
10.45-11.15 Andrei Chabes “Different styles of Leadership in Academy” 11.15-11.30 Discussion With Coffee and Sandwiches
Room E04, lecture hall.

Future faculty is a special interest organization for young PhD scientists actively involved in research but without a permanent position at the Faculty of Medicine. Future faculty supports junior scientists by spreading information within career related field of interests but should also facilitate junior scientist networking within and outside our own faculty and Umeå University.
